Finished!

2,234/51,398/50,000

Oops, forgot to post that I finished the other day.  The challenge, but not the story.  I don't like it at all, so I doubt I'll ever finish it.  I'm looking forward to November's NaNo, just have to figure out which story to write, but at least I have some time to think about it.  In the meantime, I'm trying to get caught up on my reading goal.  I'm at 76 books now, but my goal is 150 by the end of the year.  Not sure I can make that if I'm taking another month and half off for writing.  I can't read and write at the same time.  If I read, I feel guilty for not writing.

But...I'm 3 for 3 wins for NaNo, so far, and I'm happy about that :)

Day 26 - So very close

6,578/49,164/50,000

Less than 1,000 left!  I might actually get more than 50k done this month.  The last two NaNo's, I barely got more than 50k, but I still have 5 days to write.

Day 25 - Break over

22,018/42,586/50,000

Finally!  I've had days of no writing and ended up about 8,800 words behind, but I finally got my act together and pushed through, so now I'm not only caught up, I'm over a day ahead of schedule!  Tired and needing sleep.

Day 12 - Going well

1,483/20,568/50,000

I didn't write much today, but I am on track and hope to write a little extra tomorrow, so I'm ahead.  No stress that way :)

Day 11 - Touching on the dark

3,900/19,085/50,000

It's going well.  I'm starting to barely touch on some dark stuff, but I'm not ready to dive right in yet.  Skirted a couple of issues that I might come back to later, but we'll see.

I think we've lost three cabinmates.  Two never showed up, and one only posted once or twice, but nothing in over a week.  It would be nice to have a full, active cabin like in June, but oh, well.

Haven't decided what to do for November.  I got stalled in Avienne pt 2, but I need to redo a lot for pt 1, and I won't have time until this month is over.  Who knows?  Maybe I'll end up writing something totally different in November, but I'd really like to get something finished, even if I don't plan on submitting it.  The piece I'm working on now will take a lot of editing, not just for technical issues, but for content, as well.

Day 9 - Caught up

6,960/15,185/50,000

I finally got caught up to where I need to be to finish on time.  This writing is flowing pretty easily, as I have tons of information to write about. I'm looking forward to getting back to Avienne pt 2 and to Chrysallis, but one thing at a time.

Day 7 - Unstuck, rerouted

5,257/8,225/50,000

Pop went the cork!  I'm unstuck!  Apparently, getting past whatever it is I need to get past to be able to age my character is going to take some time, which I don't have if I want to win Camp NaNo.  So...since I'm rebelling anyway, I decided to write a series of essays instead, and it's going well, so far.  I finished Day 6 only 1,777 words behind schedule, so I should be able to catch up today.  Feels good.
