If you’re an indie author involved with other indie writers (or NaNoWriMo in November), you’ve probably heard of Camp Nano taking place in April and July. In honor of that, I wrote about what my process was for deciding to participate last year. And that was to make myself be okay with the possibility of failing. Here’s my story of learning to be OK with not finishing NaNo.

Can you believe we’re already a week into NaNoWriMo? It’s passing in a bit of a blur so far. This time around I get my best writing in after my daughter goes to bed too. It never ceases to amaze me how much my NaNo experience changes every year.
For those unfamiliar with NaNoWriMo is, it’s a challenge to write a novel in the month of November.

Month
If you participate, you are pledging to attempt to write 50,000 words throughout the month. If you break that into all 30 days, it comes out to 1,667 words/day. At its heart, NaNoWriMo is our kick in the pants to get off our behinds and buckle down on writing.
It’s that time of year for authors. November 1st. The first day of National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as NaNoWriMo.
The biggest decision is whether or not to participate. It’s no small ask; 50,000 words is a lot. At the same time if you complete it you have a very solid foundation of a full-length novel. This will be my third year participating, but I’ll be honest, I didn’t make the final decision until today. The last two years have been pretty difficult for me between a concussion year one and severe bronchitis last year. As it is, I’m recovering from another round of severe bronchitis this time, but there’s something I love about NaNoWriMo, and decided I didn’t want to miss it.
