So after my first completed two days of Camp I’m feeling incredibly good and very motivated. My word count after 48 hours has now risen to 6,713. Given that I technically cheated a bit and started the month already on 2,439 words, that means my actual word count from this weekend alone is 4,274. That’s still 274 above target at this point, which is awesome 🙂 Weekdays are set to be much more of a challenge so routine will be key.
Here are my stats as of today:
