I love Camp NaNoWriMo.

The thing about camp is that you can do pretty much anything related to writing. This will be the third summer I'm using camp to edit one of my WIPs.

Of course, I can edit anytime, but that's just it, it's so easy to get distracted by shiny things. Camp gives me a goal. I'm accountable to my NaNo buddies. I can't let them down!

Now, where was I...

The end, that isn't an ending

Camp NaNo is over and much to my surprise I ended the month with 23,000 words! I'm feeling kind of jazzed to keep on.

I came upon an exciting scene where my MC meets up with her mother, a woman with an ax to grind -- well, who can blame her? M'miri killed two of her other mothers.

If you want to know how it played out you'll have to read my manuscript!

You know how some scenes just sing? This was one of them. It was a fun scene to write, and I'll admit I'm rather proud of it.

Still not 100% sure I have a novel length book, but the odds are feeling a lot better.
