Camp NaNoWriMo Update: Week 4

Wow. I can't believe we are almost at the end of April. Just two more days of Camp NaNoWriMo. Where has the time gone?

I am happy to announce that I officially reached 50,000 words this morning! I am really happy with all the progress I have made on my projects this month and will now aim for a goal of writing 50K every month. Mostly because I love updating my progress meters on my sidebar.

As I have mentioned before, one of the reasons I am writing so well is because of all of the encouragement I am receiving from my peers.

Camp NaNoWriMo Update: Week 3

We are three weeks into CampNaNoWriMo and I am really thrilled with my progress. As I alluded to in a previous post, this camp I am working on two projects. The first project was to finish a WIP i had begun in March. I finished that in about a week and moved on to project number two.

For this project, I had decided to rewrite something I had started and then put aside. I was starting over from the beginning, but reusing a lot of the old words. I didn't feel right counting those recycled words towards my NaNo progress, so I only counted a fraction of them until I reached the original word count of 51,000 words. Well, I reached that point this past weekend and now every word I write counts towards my NaNo goal.

I have passed my original goal of 37,000 words and am hoping to meet my stretch goal of 50,000 in the next week. I am just shy of 42,000 words and am confident I can manage 8K in the seven days.

Camp NaNoWriMo Update: Week 2, Part 2

Just a quick note. The project I'm currently writing is a rewrite. I had started a project, then decided to rewrite it from the beginning. However, I am recycling a lot of words. I scrapped the project at 51000 words, so I am only counting a fraction of my wordcount for NaNo until the manuscript breaks 51000. That is why there is such a drastic change in my progress bar.

Camp NaNoWriMo Update: Week 2

Part of me cannot believe we are already two weeks into Camp NaNoWriMo. The other part of me cannot believe that it is only April 14th? Why? Because I reached my goal! For anyone who has been keeping track on the website or following my daily tweets, I have written more than 37,000 words.
