Today is the last day of April's session of Camp NaNoWriMo. For Camp you set your own goal, and since I thought I could maintain the same pace as during November, I set my goal at 50,000 words.
I am dismally behind.
This image cracks me up. It's the daily tracker part of the stats page on the NaNoWriMo site. It does the math and tracks how much you need to write every day to achieve your goal, and shows you how much of that you've written.
And... well, yeah. There's very little chance I could write that much in one day. Even if I tried, I'd probably burn myself out and not touch my novel again for months, if ever. Which is exactly the opposite of what I want to do.
So I'm not too sorry. I've been writing every day and making good progress, and I like my story and intend to keep writing it. I'll keep writing during May and June, and hopefully finish up the novel during July's session of Camp.
I'll update later with my final word count for the month of April. It won't be 50,000, but maybe I can at least get close to 40,000.
