Camp NaNoWriMo – April 2013

In March 2013, I found out that Camp NaNoWriMo (10,000+ words in a month) was running in April and July that year rather than the normal June and August. I’d not done it before but had done NaNoWriMo (which is 50,000+ every November) for the past five years so I took up the challenge.

On Monday 11th March I put a shout-out to ask “Anyone doing Camp NaNoWriMo this April?“. Although the target was just 10,000 words in the 30 days (of April), I aimed for the usual 50,000 words (1,667 a day) and this is how I got on…
