I'm participating in Camp NaNoWriMo for July, even though no one else I know is doing it (apparently) and even though for some reason I almost always fail July's Camp NaNoWriMo. Writing in July seems hard for me.
Anyway, I started out working on a story I called Buttercup, which was meant to be an introduction story to the space adventures arc. This is where we meet their spaceship, and introduce more properly the idea that we're going on a series of space adventures with these characters. I'd been working on this story idea for much of June, but I finally managed to finish it this past week, after working on it a bit the first two days of July and then failing to write anything for several days.
After this, I managed to write another story called Chaos Theory which happens right after Buttercup, and I guess it works okay. I had yet a third idea for a story called Baby Sat, but I don't think I will write that at this point. I might come back to it as it seemed like a fun idea, but for now I figured the actual space adventures should follow.
I spent the other night reworking the order of all of my space stories -- I'd "filled in" gaps in the numbered order of stories several times and consequently my numbering order no longer made any sense, with two, three, even four stories sharing the same story number at different points. Here's what I came up with:
423 All I Ever Wanted
424 My Clone Sleeps Alone
425 Buttercup
426 Chaos Theory
427 Girl Squared
428 Amaranthine Shores
429 The Spice of Life
430 Good Vibrations (unfinished)
431 Woofy (unfinished)
432 Wrong Number
433 Endorsement
434 Optimal Performance
435 Transformations
436 Doomscrolling
437 Frills and Bows
438 Mating Ritual
439 Marry Her (unfinished)
440 Afterglow
441 My Own Daughter
442 Ambassador
443 Real Girl
444 Hate Crime
445 Academy
446 Revenge
447 Powerslave
Unfinished Stories that I still plan to write:
450 Ghost
450 Beauty Treatment
450 Becoming the Story
450 Kitten
450 Noticeable One
450 True Colors
Right now I'm working on Good Vibrations, which is a space adventure story that I should have no problems finishing by tomorrow or the next day. I plan to finish Woofy after that, and then tackle one or two stories for which Marry Her is the current stand-in -- stories that help set up the marriage to Cat better. Then, we'll see.
