Camp NaNoWriMo kicks off July 1st! I'm thinking of participating-- I have varying success with NaNoWriMo, but I figure anything that pushes me toward extra words can't hurt! Anyone else thinking about being a "camper?"

Yes my debut novel was written at NaNoWriMo 2013 and if I finish off the book half-written at Camp NaNoWriMo April 2014 I will take part in July 2014.

I did it in April with a 30k goal and won, and I'm thinking of doing it again, but with a 20k goal this time because my work schedule gets wonky in the summer and I can't always keep to my writing schedule the way I'd like.

You should definitely give it a go. It's fun, and the excitement of being involved in something with a whole bunch of like-minded folks can be a really strong motivator. And you can pick any word goal as long as it's over 10k, so it's not as hard as November NaNo.

How do I sign up!

[R M Nicholls]

Yep, I've already signed up.  Can't wait - I love Nano so much. 

 

[ShayneRutherford]

Can we request cabin mates?

It looks like we can this time around. I just saw something about private cabins that I'm going to check out right now.

 

[RachelMeyers]

Yep, I'm in! Could really do with the extra motivation...

 

[JenEllision]

I think I am going to give it a go-- possibly with one of my contemporary MSs. My head's swimming in high fantasy right now and I think I need a break.

 

[MissyM]

I find these incredibly helpful and plan on signing up. If there's a kboards group, I'd love to join!

 

[ShayneRutherford]

Hey y'all. I just created a private cabin. It looks like I can invite up to eleven people to it, and then I'm assuming that they have to accept the invitation on their end.

If you'd like an invite to bunk with me, put your Camp NaNo name here in the thread, and I'll send it along. And if it matters to you at all, my genres of choice are supernatural, horror, mystery, suspense, and thriller.

Sorry! I created my project now. Thanks

 

[75845]

I go by the highly original name of Mercia.

 

[Incognita]

I'm christinex.

I'll be finishing up something I've already started, but I do like the kick in the pants NaNo gives me.

 

[ShayneRutherford]

Okay, so far I've sent invites to Missy, Mercia, and Christine. Dwallock, I tried to send one to you, but it says your user name doesn't exist. Did you leave something out of it?

 

[ShayneRutherford]

Awesome! my username is http://campnanowrimo.org/campers/dwall

Now you just need to create a project. Even if you don't know what you're going to write, just slap a title in and save it. You can change it later. Then I'll be able to send the invite.

 

[ShayneRutherford]

Just did.

Invite sent.

I just joined if you still have room! AnyaKellyWrites

Still have room, but you need to create a project before I can send the invite. You can edit your project, so you can just put anything in and save it, and then change it when you figure things out. Let me know when you're done, and I'll resend the invite.
