Camp NaNoWriMo!

[CharleeVale]

I win!!!

Well not yet, because the site is having a glitch and is saying that July has ended. So I haven't officially validated yet, but I do have (Exactly at the moment) 50,000 words. Yay!

Now to finish the manuscript....

Way to go! You still had a fair bit to go as of your last update, so I'm impressed. How long was your final writing binge to get it finished?

Camp NaNoWriMo repeats for August - sign up again and do the second half of your novel.

[CharleeVale]

Indeed. But I need to edit like six chapters of you WIP first, otherwise I am a horrible critique partner.

Hee. Well, NaNo seems like a valid excuse. I am looking forward to hearing more from you on it. Also looking forward to reading more of your WIP, though!

[Claudie]

Congratz, Charlee!

I'm just starting the August version. Let's see how much I can write before bed!

Hey gang, I don't remember if I asked this already...

Any idea what the winner's goodies are for Camp NaNo? More specifically, any Create Space codes? Shameless, I know. But getting that proof copy is SO motivating!

[sierramcconnell]

Just badges and a certificate. And the joy of winning.

[AveryMarsh]

Congrats to those who won! And good luck to those still slogging away!

Is anyone participating in August's? Or planning on doing one in November? I need to add some friends to my list on the main site. My name is AveryMarsh. Super creative, no?

[sierramcconnell]

I'm in August and I'm at 31066~! Woot woot~! I won July about halfway through and I'm on my way there for August. I'll probably also do November. XD

[AveryMarsh]

Me too! And I'm at... 35449! It's crap, though. I've never written anything so rough. I'm completely pantsing it at this point and doing a terrible job, but hey, that's what rewrites are for. I've had a ridiculous time the past couple of days though. I keep going back to my July novel, wanting to fix this and that when I need to just shelve the darn thing for a month or so and focus on the task at hand. But I can't. I've even started planning another one for November.

I have a feeling my husband is going to ban me from it come next year. I'm seriously a NaNo addict.

But who cares? Yay us!

[sierramcconnell]

I have a feeling I'd be farther if I didn't sit there and do this:

"Nope."

"Bad sentence."

"Ack, wrong word choice."

"Doesn't sound right."

"I don't think I like that."

"Already used that word up there."

"Green sqiggly, must fix."

"Why do I hate this paragraph? Delete."

I've gotten into editing as I go again, but somehow I manage to still pop out 2500-3000 a day and as much as 4000-5000 on a weekend day. But then I need a couple weeks rest or I go like this O_O or @_@ for a while. XD

[Claudie]

I am so behind. This is a new situation for me. I've never been behind on NaNoWriMo. I hit 200k two years in a row. Somehow, though, summer + trying not to mess up 4th draft is kicking my ass. You'd think that even being somewhat careful, I could write at quarter speed.

But no.

By the way, trixie, I believe CreateSpace actually has a promotion going on that allows for free proof copy through the summer (to september). I can't remember the details, or if shipping is also paid, but I do think I heard of that. Worth checking, if you're shamelessly trying to get a paper copy of your WIP.

Ohhh! Thanks, Claudie! I'll snoop around and see what I can find out. Thanks for the tip!
