I take my laptop when camping and write novels. I find the process so much more entertaining, fulfilling and engrossing than reading. I self publish for Kindle on Amazon which is a really easy process even though no one buys the books. My plans are to write two books this winter.
Durb -- How do you balance your writing and RVing adventuring? I keep struggling to find the time to do everything -- write, hike, explore, do the usual day-to-day stuff, etc. Do you have a schedule? Use self-imposed deadlines?
I don't full time and camp only about 40 days per year. We will winterize the trailer mid November as we live in the Northwest. Once the rain starts yard work ceases allowing plenty of time. I write only for personal enjoyment so there are no schedules or time lines. I start with a premise and let the books develop as I write which stokes my interest. I find the hardest part is wrapping them up to keep the word count to 80-90 thousand. This takes about two months of part time writing. I find my camping writing is generally on the front end of the books. My greatest time restraint is my hunt and peck typing.
I believe everyone has books lurking inside their heads. The hardest part is sitting down and starting. It flows from there and is very enjoyable.
