Day 27
Hopefully not done for the day yet, but I just wanted to share that, with a bit of help, I made up the name of one of the remaining boys on Angel’s team. His name is Henry Frassel, but everyone calls him “Frazzle” or “Fraz” and I’m sure you can guess why.

I’ve got something going on right now that may make it difficult for me to finish out the last days of Camp. It’s not like I could very easily finish my goal anyways, but it so happens to be this way. I’m going to try to do some more but we’ll have to see.

@Liminality thank you so much! This definitely isn’t the last of this story. ;) I’m planning to keep working at it from now on even without a challenge

Reflections
1. Did you meet your month's goal? - I did not come close, due to my life and other circumstances. I probably was also overestimating myself.
2. Did you manage to write every day? - No for the same reasons.
3. Which was your favourite scene to write? - I think it was probably the Genevieve and the exam ranks reveal scene
4. Who was the most difficult character to write? - I am between Angel and Jhémes. Jhémes because I’m still trying to balance his two sides (plus it feels so clunky to write him at times) and Angel because I feel that she gets a little swallowed up when she’s in the same scene with Jhémes if I’m not careful. I could make a play on that since it’s bad writing for the protagonist to just be pushed around by others like an observer, but I’m not sure yet.
5. What would you do differently next NaNo? - Keep a better schedule and be more disciplined. Next time, hopefully I won’t have all sorts of things getting in the way as well.
