Yes, I quit Camp NaNoWriMo about halfway through. I didn’t do it because of writer’s block, though. I quit because I was traveling. But that’s a bad excuse. Don’t worry, I’ve got a better one. I quit because I didn’t like how I was rushing through my story. For this Camp NaNoWriMo, I was rewriting…
