July I began in earnest working on When a Pachyderm Comes to Visit. I worked on three short stories as well. I was able to complete all three short stories which gave me a word count of almost seven thousand words. I have the second book almost completed in first draft form at almost eight thousand words. The other fifteen thousand words were on a Christmas story that has not got a confirmed name as well as rewriting on Blip.
With these thirty thousand words came the banner and a certificate as well as a few special offers from sponsors. With it came a great deal of satisfaction that I had stayed on course even with the other tasks at hand. I am excited to be once again finishing a month of on task writing and to say another Camp Nano is in the books.
If you have never tried NanoWriMo or Camp Nanowrimo, I invite you to set out a little of each day in November to try your hand. It is a fun opportunity to flex your staying power muscles and show your writer’s block and insecurity a thing or two. November will have a fifty thousand goal and will be a little tougher to achieve, but it is ever so worth the effort. Write a novel in thirty days! You can do it!
How do I know that?
Because I did!
If I can pen The Path of the Child and Who’s That in the Cat Pajamas? in thirty days, you can write one too.
Congratulations! It feels SO good to complete Camp NaNo 🙂

Sounds like a fun challenge, Vicki. I work full time so can never finish a book in 30 days but I am thrilled that you can.

I understand. My first one was while I was working, But I sleep very little so that allows me to fit more in. LOL Even when I know it is unhealthy.

I have noticed that you don’t sleep much. I am afraid that I need 7 hours a night.
