Day 10!

Posted in Camp NaNo by

So we’re now on Day 10 of Camp, and it’s going really well!  Despite some…adjustment issues I’ve had, it’s still been really fun, and I’m so glad I’m doing Camp NaNo.

So, yesterday.  I managed to finish all of my projects, and honestly, I think it’s totally doable to work on my other stuff during NaNo.  Of course, I will be working on two, so the last 10 days haven’t been completely accurate in terms of writing, but I think it’s doable.  Of course, it also depends on how close I am to being done on my different things, but my NCIS fanfic and the Giant Prehistoric Chicken should be done by then.  And Turning Point might be done as well.  I’ll definitely have a better idea by November, so it looks like most of my decision-making will be in October.

I did end up writing for Camp- I wasn’t sure how much I was going to write, but I did know I would write.  At first, I was going to write 667, but I kept writing and the next thing I knew, I was at 17,157!  I’m pretty happy with the amount I wrote, considering I didn’t have to write at all, much less 2071 words.  I was going to try writing more, but at 17,157, I felt bored so I figured that was a good place to stop.   

I’m also hoping that I can work on my plot bunnies this week, because I’ve been neglecting them, and I don’t want to put them off until October.  The sooner I have them done, the better- I know I’ll be glad once I’m done planning everything, because it’ll be one less thing to focus on.  I’m not sure what I’ll work on, but I definitely need to work on something.  That, combined with my plan of doing Camp NaNo in the mornings, and then other stuff in the afternoon, and I should be busy over the next week!

Just Writing Away

Posted in Camp NaNo by

Yesterday was another day in which I didn’t want to write.  I managed to work on a couple of my HP fanfictions, and I managed to write a lot more than I expected for my NCIS fanfic.  I kept telling myself I was going to stop at a certain point, but everytime I got to that point, I decided to keep going!  I really hope I can stay on track, but I’m not holding my breath.  When in doubt, throw in Agent Fornell because he boosted my word count!

Speaking of word count, I’m at 11687, and wrote 2319 words yesterday!  Working on a couple of my HP fanfics was a nice break, so I might work on them throughout the week, instead of two diferent days.  Since I have so many different things I’m working on, it’ll be really easy to write a couple hundred words each, plus the 1667 for Camp, which is very manageable. 

I can honestly say this whole Camp NaNo thing is really relaxing, and it’s nice to do things at a not-so-frantic pace.  I kinda miss the frantic pace, so I’ll definitely be going back to that in November.  But I can definitely appreciate both.  I still need to work on previous nano’s but that’ll be easy, and I can definitely split those up over the next couple days. 

I still haven’t worked on anything else, although I suppose I should at some point.  I’ve been focusing on Camp, of course, but these ideas aren’t going to magically write themselves.

I think that’s about it, and hopefully I can be productive today!

What A Day!

Yesterday was weird. I finally get caught up, and decided yesterday I wasn’t in the mood to write. I managed to write for one of my HP fanfics, and did write for my NCIS fanfic, but I just didn’t want to. I didn’t want to get too far behind, so at least I wrote something, which is better than nothing.  I wrote a lot more than I thought I would too. 

I saw something where most of the mole plot is going to be wrapped up in the season 9 premiere, and now I’m thinking that 2 of the people I thought it was can be eliminated.  It’s definitely someone we recognize, according to one of the executive producers, and I think that wording is pretty important, because it seems like it’s someone who made a guest appearance or two.  I wish I could find that link now, but i think there’s a few articles where it’s mentioned. 

So I’m at 9368 right now, which means I’m 634 words behind.  Honestly, if I don’t hit my word goal everyday, it’s not the end of the world, because I am writing everyday.  Once I get going, I’m usually fine, but at the same time, ending where I did worked out okay. 

I’m pretty sure I’ll get back on track today, and I’m also going to work on my other stuff too, just to give myself a break from my official Camp project.

Things Are Getting Interesting!

Here’s my Camp NaNo update!  I’m still behind, but slowly catching up. 

It’s certainly getting interesting, and Gibbs is certainly suspicious of DiNozzo and Vance.  He also knows they met with SecNav, and doesn’t believe the answers Vance and DiNozzo gave him.  I’ve narrowed down who I think the mole is to 3 people, so that helps a lot.  Plus, I have a few other things that I’ve written down.  Unfortunately, I keep coming up with more questions, so I’ll try to solve as many of those as I can.  I have come up with a few ideas that are very plausible, so I’ll have to work on those a little more. 

I haven’t mentioned my word count yet, which is 3386, putting me a day behind (according to my handy-dandy spreadsheet), so I definitely have to write as much as I can in order to catch up.  If I can add 53 words, then I should be okay.  But if I so happen to write more than that, I’ll be pretty happy.  In fact, if I can write as much as I can everyday, I should be good. 

I also have plenty of typos to share- we’re on day four, and there are a bunch of them.  They really are entertaining, and they become even more funny when I write when I’m tired. 

I think that’s it for today, so happy July 4th everyone!
