    NaNoCamp 2017 has come and gone albeit somewhat quietly in TSC this year. That doesn’t mean to say the camp has been quiet though. We’ve had some impressive numbers from a few of our members but by no means does this belittle everyone else who participated.

     

    Everyone has done their best and written from their hearts and souls pouring everything they had to offer. I will take this opputunity to thank each and every member who took part in writing and to those who offered support for joining in with NaNo 2017.

     

    Thank you all. It’s always an honor and a privilege to write besides you all. Thank you each and every one of you, the members of TSC.

     

    As some of you already know I have set out during this NaNo Camp to break a word limit. Two members dedicated themselves to this goal and pulled in an impressive word count.

     

    Harrow: 81,620 Words   Our top ranking wordsmith of NaNoCamp 2017

    Lissette: 65,020 Words  A close second to Harrow

     

    In no way do I want this to belittle anyone else; every word... EVERY SINGLE WORD contributed to our word count total so even to those who only managed to contribute a little, know your words helped and know that NaNo would be a far duller place without you.

     

    Once again I thank each and every member who participated during this event.

     

    The Word Count I wanted to achieve was to clear 250,000 Words.

     

    Total Word count of NaNo Camp 2017  

     

    Although we never broke the 250,000 word goal we came exceptionaly close to it. What I can say is that we have broken the previous total of a single camp by an excess of 50,000 words.

    Read it people........  An excess of 50,000 words. We smashed it!!!!!!

    Each and every one of you deserves a paw on the back. Thank you once again for taking part.

     

    As for me; I only managed to complete 56% of my word total...

    Am I disapointed? No, we can only do what we can do. I can ask no more of myself or of anyone else here.

     

    Well done everyone. Thanks to you all we have a new record. Lets try and beat it during NaNoWriMo  2017. I know I’ll see you all in November. And this time we’ll reach 300,000.

    By Hircine’s claw and fang, you see if we don’t.........

    Wow, that's a lot of words! Well done Harrow for your 81k :) and I'm not surprised the Long Chapper did a bit of typing too :D

    I am always blown away when I read these figures Sotek collects and see the dedication the writers here have to their projects. Two hundred and forty-seven thousand, four hundred and four words is staggering, congratulations to everyone, and thank you :)

    Nice number, shame it misses so little to achieve the goal. Wait...

    While I haven´t participated in NaNo I´ve written 15438 words in last two weeks. You can add that to your number you´re above the goal by a little bit something. :)

    Anyway, good job everyone at kicking ass in this Camp. :)

    Well done, everybody! I have to say, the communal spirit of the cabin really helped with getting people to stay on track. I'll be busy with editing for at least two months.

    NaNo certainly helped with my editing. I managed to get a good few chapters out of the way. I've been posting chapters almost daily and yet I still have 8 of them waiting to go up. If any of you never took part in NaNo camp and you write, make sure you join in next year. it's a fantastic atmosphere and we all support one another.

    Impressive Sotek, as well as others in TSC and the Camp. I might even join in on the next one in November and pump out some words, I don't consider myself the best writer - and yet I have a certain way with words i believe... 

     

    I'll see what I can do if i have the time!

    Great job once again everyone :)

    I'm a bit sad that I couldn't take part in this, I had a lot to do and a lot of distractions with real life and such things. Congrats to everyone on a new record! And count me in next time. We'll get to that 300.000 word count.
