I'm not worried about it but I am excited to bring it to life in the near future. You're right! As long as we keep moving forward, keep working on the story, it will tell us where it wants to go.

My Camp started strong, but I was ill for the last two weeks. Although I kept writing and editing as much as I could (not much), I completely failed to track it or update it on the site.

So I will continue to persevere and believe I will get this project done despite the setbacks.E.M.A.Timarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17442803003506753574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-72106853212262498362018-05-02T21:20:00.694-04:002018-05-02T21:20:00.694-04:00LOL.
