    A pitiful first day for me, only 650 words, but I had Easter service and this was straight up writing rather than editing. Once I start editing, the pace will move faster.

    I may not do too much until next weekend. My daughter and husband are both home for spring break, and wow. So many activities. So much noise. Not good for writing. But he’s taking her to visit his parents next weekend. So yeah. I’ll make up for lost time then.

    around 800 or so words, better than i thought. 

     

    do we get badges for completing this event? having a badge would be pretty cool...

    I think I'm revising my goal of 10K words to something like 20K or 30K, since I've gotten more than half of it down already. Edited 4K words through the night and wrote another 1400.

     

    Yes, Ilanis-ko, we do get badges! Wheeee!

    BTW do rough drafts with repeated paragraphs count towards your word count?

    Cuz I'm pretty sure I wrote two or three similar paragraphs but with minor alterations.

    Alright! Fine! Change of plans... 

    Apparently, since I'm probably the last person figuring it out, Pillars of Eternity 2's launch was delayed and moved to 8th of May, so...

    I could jump as well on the Camp Nano hype train and 'choo choo' a little with y'all. Time to explore the Sands of Inkseeds then!

    Yeah, Camp NaNo awards badges and things when you achieve the word count

    Welcome to the club, Lorc. As soon as you remember your username and create your project, I'll invite you to the camp of pain. 

     

    I had a decent day today. Battling a wee cold, so have gotten in 2800 some odd words of writing. I feel way better about today than I did about yesterday though. Best thing to do is to just write every day and update, even if it's one word. I also lowered my word count by a bit. I did the math and it wasn't 100k words I needed to edit to be caught up, but more like around 80k, give or take.

    And because of this bad cold, I had a shit day today. Less that two hundred words and that was editing not writing, fixed a few paragraphs here and there. Tomorrow will be better.
