I finished the first draft of my fifth novel at CampNaNoWriMo today.  It is both exciting and bittersweet.  I’ll miss CampNaNoWriMo!  But November and NaNoWriMo will be here soon, and honestly, I couldn’t keep up the pace of writing nearly 4000 words a day for much longer.  I have enjoyed both camp sessions, though and I think three times a year is do-able, at least this year.  My word count ended up at 78,881 words, and I’ve printed it all out, punched holes in the 206 pages, and put it all in a binder.  I shall let it sit for a bit before I begin revisions.  I did some chores and started a new review book.  I got a few more pieces into my puzzle, which isn’t progressing very fast, but then, I’m not in a race.
