Camp Time Again!!

It is July, and so with hot days, open windows at night, mosquitos, and a longing to dip into a pool comes the obsessive need to get my 1000 to 2000 words written for camp.  This year I started by calling my novel Camp, but changed to The Butterfly Specialist last week.  Speaking of change - its time for the Character Archetype!  I love believe-ability, even with dragons and cyber-punk dystopians, as I reader I want to believe!  This worksheet helps with your arc of change the character goes through.  Helps you set motivation, build tension, break your character at a proper breaking point to move him/her/self to change, and then slide down the arc taking prisoners, resisting and dying, or whatever your character is going to do.  This year, I have typed out all the words in the video so that you don't have to take notes or watch the entire thing for suggestions to create your own character arc worksheet.  Here you go, campers!!  Subscribe to my vlog: http://youtube.com/KaraSkyeVlog New videos every Tuesday and Saturday and every other Wednesday.

Upcoming Summer Solstice and the Tea Leaves

Do you form a circle in just your own skin under the Solstice Moon to get your wish?  Are you about to try it?  Me too!  Goals and hard work have produced longer to-do lists and more honest, hard work.  My own son just finished a term at school with regular full school days, night school, and an on-line class.  Now he tells me he has summer school!!  He's a regular kid with exemplary attendance and he's smart - but not too smart - good common sense head on his shoulders.  My sympathy for him - and apathy for his educators' schematics - has me thinking about alternatives in the 'work hard with honest work' sort of ethics.  What was once work hard/play hard seems to have taken that slash literally.  Work hard/work hard? I don't think so;
