Hey, it’s already been a week since Camp NaNoWriMo started. I’ve surprised everyone, including myself, by religiously writing 3000 words a day, no matter what. So far, the main challenge has been getting started. Once I do, it’s been going …
Camp NaNoWriMo, that is. NaNoWriMo is sponsoring a camp to help you write anything your heart desires during the month of July. My goal is to write 90,000 words, 3,000 words a day. I’ve been doing 2,000 most days and having a …
Based on my concept, a lot of stuff has to change. Now, I’m working my way through the characters, one by one, doing a very detailed analysis of each. It’s a bit daunting- thousands of words that won’t make it …

So embarrassing. I started off so well. The first three days were amazing- I had to force myself to stop around 3,000 words. Day four was a struggle. And then I went completely off the rails. My asthma started acting …
I have to admit, I’m feeling rather smug. But it helps to have some support. I logged onto the chat for the Nashville NaNoWriMo group, and that helped a lot. At midnight, we were off, ready or not. And I …
