Camp NaNo 2017 conquered

 Camp NaNoWriMo was the best stretch of writing I've done in a long time. There were more "ugh" passages than those that made me think, "I like what I've written." But the point here is that I've written more of this story, I have a much better idea of how to edit it, and I feel a lot better about the future paths my characters will take.

I'll print it out (130+, double-sided) and store it in a binder. I could edit it on the laptop, but I catch errors better when I see words on actual paper.

When I was younger, I used to dread editing my own work. I was so afraid of seeing what I'd gotten wrong the first time around. But now I'm really looking forward to making this story better.
