Camp NaNo single-day challenges

[Siana Blackwood]

I had a list of 30 challenges (1 per day) that I made up for NaNo last year, but 9 of them seem to have disappeared somewhere. The remaining 21 are here for your wrimo-ing entertainment. You can ignore them, choose a few you like or even pick one at random every day.

(Bonus points to anyone who can come up with some extra challenges to make the list up to 30 .)

The Challenges

1. Midnight madness: start at midnight (really works best on day 1)

2. Random wordcount day: use the random number generator in the sidebar to find today's wordcount goal

3. Write or Die day: write everything in WoD

4. Written? Kitten! day: same as WoD but cuter

5. Written? Puppy! day: same as WoD but cuter

6. Double wordcount day: twice your daily wordcount goal

7. Double wordcount day v2: double yesterday's total

8. 1.5x wordcount day: 1.5*1667 words

9. 1.5x wordcount day v2: 1.5* yesterday's total

10. Do-over day: try to beat the total on your worst day

11. Sprinter day: write the day's goal in 15 minute blocks

12. Day 1 redux: try to write as many words as you wrote on day 1

13. Own goal day: Choose how many words you want to write.

14. Double your average day: calculate your average words per day, then try to double it

15. 1.5x your average day: same as double, but multiplied by 1.5

16. Beat the brown line day: try to get your wordcount total over the line on the nano progress graph

17. Album day: Choose 1 album and listen to that until you've met your wordcount goal for the day.

18. Heroes day: write the number of words from your favourite author's year of birth

19. Song day: randomly pick a song from your playlist and write either that many words or for that many minutes

20. Vanilla day: write your daily wordcount goal... exactly.

22. Time Is Of the Essence Day: Look at the clock. Now write that many words.

23. Dislocation Day: Write your entire daily goal in a spot where you don't normally write.

24. Opposite Day: Write your daily goal opposite to the way you usually write. Planners pants! Pantsers outline! Usually dialogue heavy? Try some setting and exposition! Do you usually hand write? Try typing! Etc.

25. Mind Games Day: Don't think of a purple hippo. Every time you think of a purple hippo, you have to write 100 words.

26. Write it 4ward Day: Write 4,444 words in 4h44m. BP: Do it on 4/4. DBP: Do it by 4:44 PM.

27. Flash Prompt Day: Kick off every writing session for the day with a writing prompt.

28. Speed Racer Day: Set a word count goal. Write it as fast as you can. Then try at least three more times during the day to keep beating that time.

29. Writin' Nerdy Day: Pick a nerdy number, either as a daily goal, or one to be reached, amd write it. (Pi, a fibonacci number, a palindromic goal, etc.)

30. Beat that! Wriday: try and beat your wordcount from your best day.

I was wondering if an extra challenge can be a blog challenge like what happened last year for Camp.
