I barely did any work on Obscure Origin yesterday. I wasn’t feeling well and kind of just put all my energy towards completing homework (and so it begins, as it does every April). I’m hoping to get a lot more done today (Day 7) because I have a more open schedule, but we’ll see.
I only wrote a measly 371 words but I did finish the first scene of Chapter 5. In my 4 days of writing for Camp NaNo (I started drafting on Day 3), I have written over 1k, then ~300, then over 2k, and now back to the 300’s. Maybe it’s a pattern. As long as I’m writing every day, I feel okay. My goal of 30k is a bit low for other Camp NaNo goals I’ve set in the past, but I’m setting a lower bar to acknowledge that I’m in final project season and am taking 5, not even my normal 4, classes.

Are you noticing any writing patterns for your own Camp NaNo?
