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.

Camp NaNoWriMo - Water, Water, Never There

Well, I've decided to see what I can coerce out of my WordSpring story which I've decided to title: Water, Water, Never There.

I've registered for Camp NaNoWriMo and set myself a very modest, though currently overwhelming, goal of 18,000 words.

That's the advantage of Camp, you get to set your own word count goals--and for the first 2+ weeks you can revise it up or down. Since I've no idea what I'm going to write, this seems like a safe challenge.

I've got that fear of failure lurking over my shoulder, but I'm going to banish my 'inner editor', as NaNo's YWP calls it, and try to remain positive!
