Camp NanoWrimo

 Camp Nano is awesome because it's challenge by choice: you set your own goals/word count, instead of the November's prescribed 50,000 words in 30 days. 

My novel synopsis:

Anne has never told a secret. But others around her, and in the most unexpected circumstances, confide in her their most revealing and privileged details. Unfortunately for Anne, a college freshman attempting to find her passion and purpose among the seemingly suffocating masses of a large campus, these strangers' secrets become a physical weight, a literal burden that she must store on or within her small body. What will happen as Anne begins to collapse under this weight?

I started writing last July, and I've made a storyboard (that's almost bigger than my bed) to map the chapters. I plan to finish a full, semi-edited rough draft by May 1. Right now I'm perplexed about "writing the hard parts." Do all novels have parts to write that are less enjoyable to pen, or is this a sign to me that if it's "boring to write, it's boring to read"?

I'll keep you posted!
