NaNoWriMo
I know I bang on about NaNoWriMo and its summer offerings in Camp NaNo, but I’m going to do it again. Today is the N day and it seemed an appropriate time to bang this drum again. I’m sure you know all about the National Novel Writing Month. You have to write 50,000 words in […]

Camp NaNo, starting soon
No, I’m not taking part in the A to Z Blogging Challenge AND Camp NaNo in the same month. I’m MAD, but not stupid. No, I’m not stupid. My first experience of NaNoWriMo in any of its forms happened in the August edition of Camp NaNo last year. I was a Happy Camper when I […]

First Draft complete!
I’ve written a book! The first draft of A Scream in the Woods is complete. I only started it on the first of August, so in 52 days I’ve managed to write a 74k first draft. I cannot believe that I’ve actually done it. Thank you Camp NaNo for giving me the incentive to write […]

A Scream In The Woods
Like the Olympics, Camp NaNo seems like a lifetime ago already. I decided against doing an end of month update for August as I’d done so many progress reports during my camping experience. At the end of August I’d written 52k words towards my WIP and I was completely knackered. The end of the month […]

And, the winner is …
I made it through the camping experience and have burst through the 50,000 words barrier. I have a badge to prove it. Yeeeeehah. The truth is it doesn’t feel like I’ve won anything yet. Sure, I’ve written over 50k words in one month, but the novel isn’t finished yet. To be honest, I can’t quite […]

Day 20 at the campsite
Who would have thought that I would still be camping 20 days in? Still having a blast and most importantly for me, still writing every day. This is the first time I have written for 20 consecutive days. I enjoyed writing whilst watching the Olympics and cheering on #TeamGB and Mo Farah, Jess Ennis and […]

Camp NaNo: 10 Days in
We are more than a third of the way through the month already. Time flies when you’re doing this camping lark. The second five days have gone well. A Scream in the Woods is progressing as well as I could have hoped for and I’m on track to hit more than 50k by the end […]

Camp NaNo: 5 Days gone
Five days of Camp NaNoing and I’m having a blast! Before the start my nerves were jangling over whether I could immerse myself into writing another novel. As my other WIP has been at the forefront of my (writing) thinking for so many years, part of me wondered whether I could do this at all. […]

Arrived at the camp site
Firstly, you might have noticed that I’ve picked up my posting over the last few days. I’m on leave during the Olympics so with no work to sap my energy I feel a new lease of life. It will end from 14th August when I return to work But I don’t want to think about […]

July 12 – Update
July has been and gone. 2013 is hurtling towards us faster than an Olympic sprinter. I mentioned in my June Update never to take a holiday if you know we’re off and definitely don’t follow us anywhere. Well we’re off this week and the UK weather turned from glorious sunshine and warm weather back to […]
