Don’t set your tent on fire

Zambonnie: Bye Mum! I’m off to Camp!

Mum: Wait, what? Camp?

Zambonnie: Yeah camp, you know cabins, people, setting things of fire?

Mum: What? Fire? What are you… it’s the end of March!

ZB: Yeah that’s when it starts. Well technically it starts in April but I signed up early so I could fraternize with the hierarchy and meet up with people. Also they wouldn’t let me join without bringing a fire extinguisher this year. I named him Sparky, and I drew a little face on him. See! *holds up Sparky, a fire extinguisher with a Sharpie marker smiley face*

Mum: But isn’t Summer Camp supposed to be in the Summer?!

ZB: Yeah of course, hence the name “Summer Camp”

Mum: B-b-but…

ZB: What?

Mum: IT’S THE END OF MARCH!

ZB: Yeah, and? That’s when Camp Nanowrimo starts Mum.

Mum: Camp Whatawhatnow?

*slams door in his face*

ZB: That’s the third one this week… we’ve gotta seal up the windows or something because I have no idea how they keep getting in here. I swear they’re like roaches, slimy, sleazy, well dressed roaches.

Anyway, I’m doing Camp Nanowrimo. I’m going to edit one of my scripts I wrote a few months ago. I’m kind of a dialogue lover in case you didn’t catch on so I decided to write one. I’ve written little scenes before but never a whole script. Now that I have, I realize it’s kind of all over the place (just as any ol’ first draft would be) so I’m going to try and tighten this puppy and meet other people in a cabin.

I remember I did Camp Nano once upon a time but I was merely a fresh faced fishie in an ocean of ambition. To make a long story short, I never finished but I tried to interact with the people in my cabin so hey it sort of helped my social skills. This year I’m bunking with people within my age range instead of throwing my hands up in the air like I don’t give a care.

So far everything seems groovy, and I’m super hyped for returning back to my script again. It’s one of those confusing, crazy, driven by insanity stories (which is why it’s all over the place). I figured out my theme a couple days ago so now I’m going to tailor the story to said theme. I might do a post about theme, although I’m not an expert on it. Anyway I’m probably not going to post as frequently but I will still post things. Maybe I’ll do a little captains log of my editing journey. Hey… actually that’s not a bad idea. I’ll try it out and we’ll see if it works.

Experimental blogging ho!
