Camp NaNoWriMo Day 9: 9 July 2014,

Today, I reached another milestone, the 20,000 word mark. To be exact, I am now at 23,000 words!  I am amazed how much progress I have made in just nine days . Although there is no way I could do it without using Dragon dictation. I am really into my novel , and the ideas will not stop coming . I hope to do at least another 2 thousand words, if not more, tomorrow . I am now on the 51st page of my novel . 

Camp NaNoWriMo Days 7 and 8 : 7 & 8 July 2014

For the last two days, I have been very busy with my novel, and am now half way through it. I reached that point today . That is 18,000 words (41 pages) . I did some interesting scenes today , where 2 of the characters go on a date. I am not sure which part is my favourite part of the novel:  I like it all so far. Going at this pace , I will reach my word count around the middle of this month, maybe a few days after. I am not rushing this, this is the pace  I can get a  first draft of a novel done in if I work every day . I have a feeling I will go over my word count again, but that is all good in my mind. I am very pleased at my ability to think up story lines for my novel, and follow a challenge like this through when many people would not contemplate doing it, or if they did, they'd give up.

Camp NanoWriMo Day 6: 6 July 2014 14,000 Words!

Today I reached 14,000  words  in total for my novel, and also found time to continue reading a book that I'm reading at the moment and it's one that I really like so far. It is called A Stroke of Luck,by Juli  K. Dickson,  and I will blog about it soon. 

More tomorrow! 

Camp NaNoWriMo Day 5: 5th July 2014

Since Camp NaNoWriMo   started, I have dictated over 10,000 words. Today I reached the 10,000 word milestone, and went over it.I introduced another character into my novel and have ideas for the next scenes. I am still enjoying it, and look forward to doing some more a bit later on and definitely tomorrow, and every day until I finish this novel. I am now taking some time out to relax while I think up the next parts of my novel and how they will fit together with the rest of it.

Camp NaNoWriMo Day 4: 4 July 2014

I reached over 7,000 words today. I have now dictated 16 pages. Happy 4th of July to everyone I know  who celebrates it. I hope I reach 10,000 words soon. 

Camp NaNoWriMo Days 2 and 3 : 2nd and 3rd July 2014

The last two days have been busy , I am at 6,000 words at this point,  it has already gone quite quickly, and I am enjoying it. I completed more character profiles today, and hope to do at least another thousand words tomorrow if not more. I am using the pacing example from No Plot, No Problem! By Chris Baty, the founder of NaNoWriMo. I am still waiting for a proof copy of my first novel , (Spellbrooke)  and hope it is not too long before I can publish it . 

More tomorrow! 

Camp NaNoWriMo July 2014, Day 1 : 1 July 2014

Today was the first day of  July  NaNoWriMo , and I have started off well, and met my word count for the day, and I have gone over it a little. I am pleased, and I feel happy I know what this event is like. I also feel grateful I did it in April too. Last night, I went on www.nnowrimo.org and saw a very interesting thread about character profile sheets so I saved the details and have started working on them. I am colour - coding them  so they look different for each character and to improve ths contrast visually. So far today I have dictated 1,300 words. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings. for now, I am off to bed .  As I did in April, I will update every day during Camp . I look forward to telling you all my news ! Good luck to my readers who are also participating! 

Here is my  profile and novel information. My book is a YA/ chick lit novel about a 16-year old called Tiffany . Read this link to find out more ! http://campnanowrimo.org/campers/bookqueen
