Another successful Camp!
YAY! Last day of camp and I made it! 60,000 words! Woo hoo! It was a struggle, this time but I'm here at the end of it! YAY! The story is so jumbled and confused and all over the place. I think the basic idea is good, but I suspect if I work … Continue reading Another successful Camp!
The Unfinished Journals of Elizabeth D – read-a-long #3

Camp Update
I realised that I have not updated you all on my progress in Camp Nano this month! Sadly, progress has slowed. I wrote the final scene of my novel at around 30k, and writing the remaining 60k goal I set for myself has been an uphill battle. So far I'm still on track, and I … Continue reading Camp Update
