camp nanowrimo

I nearly decided not to bother this time. For anyone unaware of my lamentations in the weather thread in OT, this region of Canada has been experiencing a killer heat wave, aka a "heat dome." As in temperatures in the high 30s - mid 40s (Celsius). It's been very difficult to handle without AC -...

It's that time of year again... 30 days of writing to reach a specified word-count goal. Camp NaNoWriMo is a more laid-back version of the main November NaNoWriMo event. Participants can choose their own goal in the Camp events, so they can make it as relaxing or challenging as they want. I've...

Summer is upon us, or so the calendar says (it's a matter of opinion in some regions that don't have much summer-like weather at present). Be that as it may, on July 1, veterans of NaNoWriMo and newcomers seeking a different kind of challenge commit to a writing project for the month of July...

I keep getting cheerful, encouraging emails advising that Camp starts in April... and I still can't move forward on the project that got stalled last year. I honestly don't know if I'm doing anything this year. I'd need a LOT of prep time in the next 3 weeks, and given RL domestic issues, I...

The countdown is on! I just received this email from NaNoWriMo: Hmm. It looks like they're being much more flexible about setting goals. And I have absolutely no idea what a "Storysquatch" is. But I'm in. Who else is? Shall we have our own virtual cabin this time?
