Post subject:  Camp NaNoWriMo - June
Today is the first day of Camp NaNo! Here is your thread to discuss it, to keep the "Who's Competing in Camp NaNo" thread on topic. :D Who is doing it? How is it going? What are your plans? Did the Camp NaNo site thoroughly confuse you? ;)

For those who don't know, Camp NaNo is like NaNoWriMo - A challenge to write 50,000 words in one month. It runs in June and August.

Chatter away! :D

It's going pretty well. I had nearly 1500 words, then I decided to change POVs. :roll:

Eh...alright, I suppose. I've only got 500 words. But I hope to get at least 2,000 total, for today. 1,500 words to go! I'd better start working, though. Writer's block is not a good way to start Camp NaNo. :P

Nope. :D

So. What are your Camp NaNo novels about? :D

: P Keep at it! And you can always switch to a different novel, since you are doing three.

My novel is not a novel. I'm counting up my world-building, plotting, character developing, everything. :D It's been going well so far.

So today I surprised myself. o.O I guess I've gotten much faster at writing since NaNo... I have 2189 words and it's only past 3 PM! Usually it would be much harder for me to get that much.... o.O

In order to not burn myself out, I'll just relax and take the evening off writing. :D

Hmm...yes, how'd that get in there? o.O ;) I'll try...it might be easier since I'll be editing (therefore I'll be counting words that I'm not even typing if I don't have to change them), on the other hand it might be harder since I'll be editing. :?
Have to wait and see I guess...

Yes, but I'm stuck in all three. :rofl:

I managed to scrape by, and even went a bit over, though. I'm about to get to Alastar in The Girl on the Swing, and after that, things should go much faster. :cool:

As for False Gods, that will hopefully speed up in the next couple of chapters or so...

As for Above the Gray Skies...well, that one's going to be a bit more tricky. :P

Anyhow. My final word count for today is 2065. I wrote about 1000 in TGOTS, 700 in FG. :D And only about 300 in ATGS. (Figures that I'd be struggling more with the one I want to finish the most. :roll:)

I'm much better at multitasking then focusing on one project. Which I suspect can be good, but could also quite possibly be bad. I have a very short attention span.

Yes! Yes! Write, write, write! :D And that would be quite a difficult thing to write, you have my sympathy. o.O

That would be hard. 200 words is a lot better then no words at all. Keep goin'!

Originally, I wasn't going to be in a cabin at all, but I messed with some of the settings and ended up in one anyways. o.O

My cabin is full of people I don't know or know anything about. I would've preferred being in one with HWers, I would've felt more comfortable, but my cabin mates seem pretty nice. ^_^ Should be fun.

I've got 2,599 words. I plan to get to 4,000 today.

Wonderful. ^_^ You're ahead of me now.

I'm trying to not let it take over my life. :P For November NaNo, that was almost impossible for me to write more then 2k a day. Now, I know it's possible for me to be doing days that are over 3k, but I don't do much else that day. :P So things are getting neglected. Aside from the occasional day where I will set grand goals and write like crazy, I think I need to limit myself. :P *Is catching up on forums and blog posts before starting her writing for today*
