April was a crazy month for me. I participated in the A-Z Challenge and Camp NaNoWriMo. At one point I was considering reducing my word count, as is permissible at Camp. My daughter encouraged me to not give up and strive for the 50K. I ended with a little over the 50K. I also got encouragement from an impromptu cabin mate, Shayla, that I met during the A-Z Challenge.
The month was such a whirlwind adventure trying to visit blogs, comment on comments and write 50K that there was little time left for anything else. I am ready for life to slow down and get back to a more normal pace.
Congrats on hitting 50K and finishing the challenge. I'm ready for the blogging to slow back down as well. There were a few days it was tiring.
ReplyDeleteAt the first of April we were crazy busy at work and it felt like my life was 24/7 of wacko. Work eventually slowed down. Have to have quiet some times. ;)
DeleteI'm amazed you did A to Z and 50K new words at the same time! Congratulations and well-done!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was a struggle.
DeleteWell done! And how great that your daughter was so encouraging! :)
ReplyDeleteI have wonderful, supportive kids.
DeleteCongrats on the 50K that's great. Take a break to recharge your writing batteries.
ReplyDeletePlugged in and recharging as we speak.
DeleteYou amaze me. I barely survived the A to Z, and you not only survived; you wrote a novel. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI actually wrote back story. A little less intensive. More like several short stories. But thank you. It was hard

Thank you! It was not the easiest thing(s) I've ever done.
DeleteWow, you really did do a LOT in April. I can't imagine doing Nanowrimo AND A-Z in one month. You deserve a break for sure.
ReplyDeleteChair is tilted back. Feet are kicked up. Awe, bliss.
DeleteTHANKS for the shoutout! And THANKS for all the support during April, I am glad to have you as a friend!
ReplyDeleteIt is great having you as a friend too. We are awesome!!
DeleteI felt about a week behind constantly during April and I still kind of feel that way! But your post is actually relaxing to read. :)
