Top Five Songs on the Soundtrack of My Camp NaNoWriMo Project

     One of these years I'll finish a NaNoWriMo project. November always manages to get crazy for me, but I love the idea of the April and July camps for a chance to get it done! I'm building off of my NaNoWriMo 2016 idea, but with some major changes I'm excited about! This is a rough summary and needs a lot of work, but you get the gist of it! River and Camryn both have old, artistic souls and music plays a huge part in both of their lives and creativity. I can't tell you guys how much fun I've had building their playlists! There's more, but these are the songs I keep coming back to the most for each of them. 

     River O'Neal closed his successful photography studio in Chicago to set up shop back in his hometown in Indiana after his dad's cancer battle takes a turn for the worst. Facing limited time with the man that's always been his hero, he's trying to reestablish his business and ease back into small town life. He knows he made the right decision to move back and take care of his mom, but wonders if he'll ever be able to adjust from high profile magazine shoots to photographing newborns and weddings. 

     The stress of it all is enough to make his skin feel too tight, but Cedar Creek isn't the same sleepy town he left nearly a decade ago. The downtown square is alive with new shops and faces, but none intrigues him as much as Camryn Parker. The same shy girl from his art classes in high school, the one who would turn red if anyone so much as looked at her, owns the vintage clothing shop next to his studio. That shy girl grew into a vibrant young woman, and River can't ignore the magnetic pull she seems to have on him. Beautiful and unfailingly kind, Camryn almost makes River forget all of the hurt and uncertainty swirling around inside of him. 

     Camryn's shop is her dream and oasis rolled into one. She's determined to keep the darkness of her childhood at bay, even if it means denying herself the only man who ever made her want to take a leap. If River found out how tainted and unlovable she really was, it would break her and ruin everything she's built. Love has a way of breaking down walls and forgiving the past, and River is determined to make his way into Camryn's heart.
