Camp NaNoWriMo 2014
Posted: Mar 02, 2014 5:19 pm
It's that time again! In less than a month, writers everywhere will get out their typewriters, pens, and computer keyboards and embark on a journey via the written word. Camp NaNoWriMo, just like it's November equivalent, is a competition in which writers attempt to write 50,000 words in just one month. Everyone who reaches this goal is a winner! Prizes include coupons from sponsors; but the biggest prize of all, of course, is the novel you write during the competition. Camp NaNo is held twice per year - once in April and again in July.
April approaches quickly, so you planners better get to work. In the meantime, you pantsers out there (for those of you who don't know, a "pantser" is someone who doesn't plan, but writes "by the seat of their pants") are welcome to take a seat, grab a drink, and hang out here as we all wait in anticipation for April 1st to arrive.
Let's start the discussion with a few questions:
1. Are you a planner or a pantser?
2. Have you attempted NaNo or Camp NaNo before? If so, how did that go?
3. Do you have a story idea yet? If so, what is it?
4. What do you look forward to most this coming Camp NaNo?
5. Are you a NaNo Rebel (i.e. someone competing in NaNo, but writing less than 50K, writing something other than a fictional novel, someone continuing a story they've already started, or anything else that breaks the technical rules of the competition) this year? If so, what are your goals for the competition?
