Writing badge

Writing badges are badges awarded for reaching certain milestones in the writing progress, typically upon updating your word count on consecutive days or reaching certain word count milestones. They appeared on the NaNoWriMo website in 2013, with a refresh in 2014. They were redesigned in 2019.

These writing badges also apply for Camp NaNoWriMo projects as of Camp 2020, since both events now take place on the NaNoWriMo website. Depending on your project's goal, it may not be possible to earn all the badges; if your goal is below 50,000 words (or whatever you're tracking), you won't earn the word count badges higher than your goal even if you win Camp.
