In April this blog participates in two corresponding challenges – the Blogging from A to Z Challenge and CampNaNo.

This sticky post will act as an index and progress meter for the challenges.

CampNaNo and A to Z Blogging Progress Meter

This blog participated in CampNaNo for April. For Camp in April, I had a goal of writing 26,000 words in blog posts – an average of 1000 words per post. By the end of the month I had exceeded that goal, and won CampNaNo.
