I'm so happy that day four of camp is on a SATURDAY,
because this means I have time to catch up with my word count and
actually have FIVE whole glorious hours of silence to myself and my computer.
With no distractions, phone calls, or itching reminders to get my work done.

Because it's flipping weekend!

The day is only half over and I've already updated my word count to....2,570 words
Read that number and throw confetti into the air with me!
Honestly yeah, I can get excited about this number because my writing goal for this month is only 10k, while other people are tackling the normal novel sizes of 50k and beyond!
But feeling good about my story is really important to me. And I want to encourage my other cabin mates and writing buddies to keep on writing! Read the little "care packages" of advice in your camp inbox, especially the one today about comparing your story to gardening:

Create some writing compost!
The beginning stages of your first draft will be messy, dirty, and a little stinky. But it's full of things that will make the core of your story better. Sooner or later, you'll see something beautiful bloom from all the compost you laid down!
Woohoo!! I'm throwing confetti in the air with you!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your word count! :)
You're totally ruling this Camp NaNo! Keep on going, writing buddy! I know you can do it! ^_^
As always, your motivation and blog comments mean a lot to me. Thank you! I am proud of myself for continuing to write on my story and build good writing habits, even if my word counts are smaller. Doing Camp Nano is actually making me excited for November to come again, as crazy as that might sound! Writing is fun!
