Summercamp 2024 Pledge
4th Summercamp this time around! Time for more prompts to work with!
Goals
Camp Chill for me once again! The last 2 years I've gotten bronze due to a varying array of life factors and it will be the same again, most likely. I've got birthdays galore and an anniversary to celebrate! So why stress myself writing 40 prompts when my July should be spent with the people I love most? Also, 8 prompts seems to be the sweet spot for my mental health sans burnout. It makes me a lot happier to write 8 (or 10) prompts I really like to a high standard and word count. So, I'm not pushing for a diamond set. If I get silver, wonderful. Quality over quantity and picking prompts I genuinely want to write about (not just for a prize) is my goal! (I'm proud of the handwritten font!)Focus: the Asfye
New big challenge means a new culture to showcase. Since around Feburary or so I've been plugging away at the Asfye, so called people of the sun, and their homeland, Homeland in the background. It's been very fun fleshing out a very legalistic religion and culture - and there's always weddings!Meet Oskeru Froya
A diary, a dictionary and an old manuscript are not exactly the first packing choices one should makeOskeru Froya has lost everything in his own homeland - his wife, his job and his home. So what does he do? Pitch a boat and travel somewhere new. Finally unearthing an old manuscript he wrote when he was a young man, his "summer with the Asfye" would be good research.
Eight prompts? Easy-peasy. You got this; don't even worry about it, yo~
