Camp NaNoWriMo is Over....Now What??

on Tuesday, May 16, 2017
    This post was supposed to get done two weeks ago, but Cold, Family, Pregnancy, Still waiting to hear back from the guest I was supposed to host last week, etc. Choose an excuse. It didn't get done then, but now it is.
    So Camp NaNoWriMo has ended. Maybe you reached your goal, maybe you surpassed it by leaps and bounds, but maybe you fell short. But without those fun graphs and your cabins to motivate you, now what do you do?


    First things first, celebrate! Whether you hit your goal or not, you survived! Take a pause to party!

I had to end my Camp NaNoWriMo early because of my sister's graduation, and then I got sick. And it led to a 2 week pause on my writing. It's really hard to jump back in after a 2 week break. Really hard. Seriously, the only thing pushing me on in my editing is that I passed 40,000 words. But possibly another step is to take a break. Sometimes you need to get some space from your project and switch to something new. Especially when powering through a whole draft that's really rough, you'll need some time to collect your thoughts before jumping into editing.

I haven't even looked at my writing because I haven't had the energy to. It's really frustrating because I've got so many things to get done!



    Anyway, the point of this post is to go over the last few days of Camp NaNoWriMo! So here we go-
