Camp NaNo- August Session

Yes, I'm crazy. I know I'm insane. That is the only reasonable explanation for why I would do two months of NaNoWriMo back to back. Of course, the fact that I'm doing a sequel to this month's story makes it much easier to accept. The only problem is that I'm going to have to "pants" this time and I've found it much more difficult to win when I do that. I guess I'll just have to see what happens and hope for the best. Even if I lose, at least I tried, right?

Camp NaNo Winner & Stats

So, not only did I get to 50k during the first ever session of Camp NaNoWriMo, I did it by day 14! That means that I wrote 50k in 10 days, that is a record for me! I actually hit 8k three days out of ten, 6k two days and an average of 3k the other five days. I have officially kicked last years NaNo record in the butt!

So, while I did get to 50k, I still didn't quite finish the novel. I think I'm only missing about twelve scenes so I'm not really worried about finishing this one up. I can't believe that I actually did so well this year! Having a much simpler and sillier story definitely helped the process a bit :) I guess now I have the time to start outlining for August! Camp NaNo session 2, here I come!
