That comes to just under 1k words per day, which is actually a leisurely pace compared to a typical nanowrimo. But we&#8217;ve also got a lot going on this month, including new renters moving in, a family vacation with my in-laws, family from my side moving into the state (and needing help moving in), etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first story I&#8217;m working on is actually an old trunk project of mine, that I feel I need to either buckle down and finish or else trunk forever. Part of that is because it&#8217;s about the breakup of the United States of America, which means that it&#8217;s going to feel extremely dated in another decade or so, no matter how current events play out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After revising through about 1.5k words which I already wrote in the story (and which I&#8217;m not counting toward my camp nanowrimo goal), I put in about another 1k words and called it a day. I don&#8217;t think this story is going to be much longer than 4k words (maybe as many as 5k), so with luck I&#8217;ll be able to finish it on Friday. But the plumbers are also coming, and that has the potential to wreak havoc on the baby&#8217;s napping schedule, so\u2026 we&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At least things are off to a good start!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Words written: 997 Stories written: 0 Total words written: 997 Total words remaining: 29,003 Total words ahead: 29 So after moving into my in-laws&#8217; house to house-sit for them while they&#8217;re gone for the next 18 months, and hosting a ton of family in June when they came through for summer vacation, I&#8217;ve decided to&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/camp-nanowrimo-day-one\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Camp NaNoWriMo: Day One<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[1395,133,46,1396],"class_list":["post-13697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-camp-nanowrimo-july-2021","tag-family","tag-goals-and-plans","tag-princess-hiccup","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7iXK-3yV","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13697","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13697"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13697\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13698,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13697\/revisions\/13698"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
