Thoughts from Camp NaNoWriMo and the time since we last spoke…
So, this is the first year I have successfully completed Camp NaNoWriMo, and I did so with about a week remaining. Something of a creature of habit, I stuck with the goal of 50,000 words in 30 days, and I finished on 24 April (a personal record even for regular NaNo). I did have some
