ceruleanmorningsI don't believe this, but I'm doing Camp NaNo again haha. I mean, I try to do it every year, sometimes twice a year, and then somehow I always end up failing (except when that one time I didn't, but that was a fluke). And then I'd be dejected for a while until the next burst. It's almost a tradition at this point. Plus, I think every third of a year I push myself on writing is always a good thing. I just need to not set ridiculous goals. If I simply severely undercount how much I can write in a day, I think I'd be able to get it done. At least that's the thought process.
Anyway, this year I'm not going to make any grand declarations, and I'm going to try to keep this blog somewhat up to date. If I have to update word counts here all the time I'd be hold accountable at least a little, right? Doesn't help that my birthday is first week of April so I always slack off at the start of the April NaNoWriMo, which then derails my entire trajectory. Well, not this year! I can't promise anything about meeting word count but derailing? Won't happen! Procrastination brain will behave; I will make sure of it!
I gave myself a very reasonable word count this month: 10k. That's about 333 word a day. I can do that. The do-this-everyday part might be tricky, because I am taking the day of my birthday off, but I think I can make it up. Whatever. I just said I'm not making super solid promises, but I will sincerely give it a try. I've been sincerely giving my novel a try all year so far, and it's progressing the way I think a novel should progress, so that's something.
But yeah, Camp NaNo 22. New beginnings always make me motivated. It's why I really like the actual NaNoWriMo too.
