Note well: I've crossed my word count goal, but not my "Got something-down-for-all-the-parts draft-- hooray!" goal. For that, I'm going to keep working through the month, and I, in sync with the overall NaNoWriMo spirit, want to get that completed before I go to bed on the 30th.
Last July, for Camp NaNo, I wrote a collection of poems on the Disability Experience, and Ableism. This time, for camp, I'm writing commentary and "Further information" notes on each of the poems. I have (roughly) 8 1/2 pieces of commentary left to write, and (roughly) 6 1/2 days to write them in. So it's still going to be a mad push to the (personal) finish line.
(There are either 20 or 25 poems in the collection, depending on how you count, and two songs, total).
And yes, this is just the roughest of drafts, after that will be rewrites of the commentary and probably some of the poems, too. ...But it would be nice to have all the parts ready for polishing at the end of this month. This July 26 will be the 25th anniversary of the signing of the ADA into law (such a bittersweet victory). So I'd like to have this book ready to print-on-demand by then, to commemorate that.
