Tapas Writers Camp discussion thread

[Zaboem]

I'm fighting against the crush of workload in real life also. I admire you authors who put out new content on a scheduled basis. Mine will come in spurts as I make time for writing and editing.

[ChristodeBoyet]

When it comes out are you planning to link it here? I admire the guys that have episodes scheduled ahead of time too, i'm trying to do that and it's hard XD.

[Zaboem]

Yeah, I'll post a link here when the time is right.

I finished chapter one.

I'm procrastinating too much. :3

I think it is worth giving it a go. This is a great opportunity to get selected publicity for your story. Already the staff picks are highlighting stories by writers with few subscribers. Even if you don't win, you've taken an opportunity in a small window to get maximum exposure. If this is the first writers camp, any more coming after this are only going to bigger and harder to get noticed. Now is the time to get your stories read.

[raekitano]

Keep going. You can do it.

[raekitano]

@onyefrankie Your story is up in the staff picks. Well done.

[raekitano]

@arushiangelica Thank you for starting this thread and sorry it took me so long to find it. Work, life and family keep me away a lot of the time.

[raekitano]

Can I say - I've been tracking the firstwriterscamp tag since it went up and there are so many great stories being published.

Good luck to every writer participating.

Be it writers block, procrastinating, studying, working - don't give up. Get your 10 chapters written, 500 words per chapter. YOU CAN DO IT.

Arriving a bit late to the party with our alternate entry into Tapas' "FirstWritersCamp". Definitely writing this one by the seat of the pants. No idea how it's going to end.

Here's my entry:

Memory | Tapas

I have a couple chapters scheduled, but I haven't finished writing all 10. I'm sitting at about 8 and a half, but I want to write as much as I can in case I hit a major block.

[Littlemissno]

There are so many replies on here! But I'm too tired. I'll read them tomorrow...

Anyways! I just had to share my entry. I came up with the idea a few days ago and just drew the thumbnail I've only posted one chapter so far. Inspiration hit a few hours ago, and I just had to write it. The blurb is a work in progress, just don't know all the details of the story yet.

Yours is about six college students stumbling through love. To name a few of them, one is in love with her childhood friend, another has never fallen before, and a third has never tried so hard. I've included every type of relationship out there (well, a hetero, BL, and GL anyway), and personalities differ from character to character. Should be fun! Thanks if you give it a try!

Yours | Tapas

For myself, I don't want a contract with Tapas, but I wish everyone entering the best. It's always good when writers can get more exposure for their work and get recognized for their stories =)

[melindemari]

I'm surprisingly scaring myself... I'm already basically a third finished with my novel... Only other time I wrote this fast was with the first book of my "Of the Sea" series that's on hold for re-writing to fit in with the second book where I changed up some concepts and ideas...

So here it is again, "The Lies She Told" At Chapter 8 with another 8 chapters to go but knowing me it's always more! (Why I don't know... Inspiration flows as I get to new chapters!)

The Lies She Told | Tapas

[InZanity]

I'm trying this one out and working more on diversity in my novel. LGBT + Hearing disability. IT can be cliche and such, but hey, it's guilty pleasure :3

Anyway, here it is!

"UIAO? What the hell does that even mean?"

"You can take as long as you want, you read my lips, it's now time for you to guess what I said."

With that, a challenge was made. Eira Rodriguez, the player who could charm men and women, played a game she knew that was harder than those she played with her flings. A game with the woman whom she swore never to play with, Amari Fuentes.

Hello everyone! I thought I would pop in to share my story as well! Bit new here, still learning the ropes.

And All, Merely It's Players

Jack Rivers, a troubled youth going nowhere fast, stumbles upon a mysterious graveyard circus that inexplicably only appears at night. From there, he encounters a cast of peculiar characters, all of whom are led by the eccentric and enigmatic Ringmaster...

Mine is a very odd, quirky little dark fantasy, but I hope it's interesting enough for someone here to take a look!

[DokiraKii]

Hello!
I thought it would be nice to drop my story here as well. I read through as many posts as I could since it's quite late here. It is so nice to see so many stories, I hope to get around to reading each. I wish everyone the best of luck! (T v T )

I made it to 5000 words! 5 more chapters to get to the episode minimum, but that's at least one part of the criteria fulfilled.

[Zaboem]

After a very late start, my participating entry in the Writer's Camp is up, and it starts with two whopping chapters.

Alien Fiction: The Queen in Yellow :: The Colours Out of Space | Tapas

P.S. Shouldn't the apostrophe be after the S in "Writer's Camp"? I mean, there is more than one writer, correct?

[Zaboem]

That's a great accomplishment, AA. It's not even the end of March yet (close though). You managed to post your 5000 words before I actually posted my first word.
