So I got out of the habit of updating this thread as I went, but I kept writing although very inconsistently. I've written less than I intended but also managed to do a chunk of planning which means the framework for this story is basically complete. There's definitely some kinks to work out that I'll have to go back to, but my aim is to finish the more detailed outline and get a little further with the writing in the hope I can finish the story in July's NaNo! More reflections to come below:

1. Did you meet your month's goal?
I missed out on the goal by about 5000 words
2. Did you manage to write every day?
Not even close! I started off the month writing every day, but once I'd missed a day it was easier and easier to skip another. I went over my wordcount pretty much every day I did write, but the gaps in between writing were just too long.
3. Which was your favourite scene to write?
Anything with Ray. He's such a wholesome softie with some absolute chaos energy and I'm totally obsessed with his character arc, despite the fact he's not meant to be a major character.
4. Who was the most difficult character to write?
Joel. I'm trying to find the balance between making him too nice, but also making him generally a good guy. I've yet to find his voice so he's still pretty tricky for me. I think he might be the one that I make the most edits to. He probably needs fleshing out more - I need to get inside his head!
5. What would you do differently next NaNo?
I need more accountability. I already know that I'm motivated by daily streaks and not wanting to miss a goal (duolingo gets me this way) but not having anyone check up on how I'm doing/missing a day means the whole thing goes to chaos. Write ins and being harassed by @Carlito are two things I need!

Great job this Camp NaNo, Icy!! 20,000 words is super impressive! =D

I felt this, haha xD
And I know you say you need more accountability, but you genuinely wrote a ton this month, lol! C: Awesome job!! <3

Wait Icy I just saw this:

I'M COMING IN STRONG FOR JULY DON'T YOU WORRY <333
I'm doing Every Reason Why (L+Z reboot) for July. Maybe I'll post little snippets in a WFP for you if you hit your word goal every day 😉

Here's a little reward for 20k!!! Cause even though it wasn't your goal it's still amazing!
