Semicomma … insert comma? ↓
â–
It’s no secret I write and edit. Or maybe it is? Well, over at @markthecopy , I will focus more on writing and editing. This will be a personal touch for my part-time editing business. Part-time? Yep! Limited time. Limited works. I have to, of course, make time for the day job and other publishing activities of @apexthis , don't I? (This is the part where I really think I’m doing something but I’m not, lol.)
Here is the logo icon: a carrot and comma fashioned into a semicolon. Personally, I love semicolons; however, I find, as all editors do, that I’m constantly inserting commas. For manual editing marks (writing on paper), this is how you indicate a comma is to be inserted into the text.

Camp NaNo is near ↓
▪️
You may argue that you didn't complete a NaNoWriMo, and I would say, "Neither have I!" But I did participate in a Camp NaNo—you define your own writing goals instead of the 50k novel—and I wrote ~15k words. I did not hit my goal of 40k for the month, but I blew past my previous monthly writing word counts, and I brought my project to ~40k words. What this told me was that I could actually write. I could actually write 5k, 10k, or even 15k words if I sat down to do it. I had struggled to do even 1k of fiction words before. That failure gave me inspiration.
.
Camp NaNo starts in July, and I've given myself another writing project to start. I may not hit the goals, but I would have at least written words. I would have made progress.
.
Are you doing Camp NaNo? I'm excited and can't wait! It's been so long since I've creatively written something new. I'm salivating at the idea.
