am I in the right place?


NaNoWriMo is typically held in November, and is a competition to write 50,000 words within a month. I noticed a new link this year, after thinking about competing again, to Camp NaNoWriMo - a more flexible version of the original starting on July 1.

This time around, you can set your own target. Be that 10,000, 50,000 or 100,000 words - whatever you want! There are also categories other than 'novel' to pick from, such as story story or non-fiction.

Is anyone interested in taking part? :) I have signed up, for now, and set my target for 25,000 words over the month. I'm SwiftSign on there if anyone wants to find me! :D

Where's the link? Maybe it could motivate me. I highly doubt it will
It's on the heading XD should have made that clearer.

I'm in the planning process~

I've always wanted to try! It sounds fun but I'm not sure yet since I'll be busy in July as well.
I'm in a similar boat, since work will be very busy for the first half of July. Why not set yourself a smaller target? I'm going for 20,000 - you could shoot lower or around the same!

I think I'm going to do this, but I'm having trouble on figuring out what to write. I think I'm going to go back and try the first novel idea I ever tried to write. It never got past the second chapter, but this seems like a perfect time to take it out of storage, blow the dust off of it, and try again.

Edit: And yes, it has to do with aliens.

I am joining in, after being inpromptu and convincing a friend to join me as well!

Going with 10,000 words because I lose a week-and-half from the month anyway due to uni stuff. (Also, judging the SWC this year again will also take some time out I bet). Something not too daunting to use as an excuse to make some progress with my fic I'm working on at the moment.

I think I'll be participating too. November is usually filled with Uni work, so I have much more free time this month. I might aim for 25-30,000.

Hurrah! Well best of luck to all taking part :) I've been planning all weekend. Bit nervous at doing such structured writing. Also a bit worried that I'll go either too fast or two slow xD what I'm planning shouldn't fit into the word target I've set but I don't know how much more it'll take. ><.

I'm still not sure what to write about. I know I said I would go with my first novel, but that requires more planning, just like every other book idea I have. Darn it.

I'll shoot for 20,000 words anyway.

Do you mean "short story"? Because if we can do that, then I can start writing out the three short story ideas I have no problem!

I didn't know you could write scripts for Camp NaNoWriMo. That is tempting. But I'm already working on a collab drama project. So I might stick with prose. I want to brush up my prose writing anyhow, and this seems as good a time as any.

Also, lol at "story story".

Not sure which topic to do, but I'll aim for 10,000 words. Might change to 20,000 words but it depends.

How are people doing? :) I wasn't planning on writing at all this week, but I did manage 700 words across the weekend.

19300 to go~

I've been writing during my lunch breaks at work, and I've made some good progress! I don't know how many words it is, as I've been writing in a notebook, but when I complete it and write it out on my laptop, I'll let you know.

Too late to jump into this now. =/ As such, I don't enter these. I can't write more than 10k unless motivated.

And free wordcount is meh.

Unless I managed to pull off a miracle I have failed xD it was probably a bad move of mine to plan my novel before a two week hiatus that I knew would happen >< I've managed a few thousand words but lost the will.

I am at 9252 of my 10,000 goal, so I think I will make it! I had a good deal of inactivity as expected the last week and half (and SWC judging! And now SPPF comp judging! AAAAA), but still managed a bit more to push into 9000. Not going to bother writing this weekend, will just aim to hit my target during the week on the train. Which has been the only time I've worked pushing the wordcount up actually, so I might as well keep to it.

Yay getting decent progress done as well! Including a host of extra scenes I never planned to write. Whoops why is my story now 60+ pages and still a way from ending =(

I'm late for this though I think I could have had a shot at writing something because I recently dawned upon an idea I've been developing. It's a first for me given that I usually just start writing no preemptive design! However I doubt I could pump out 10k+ words in five days now, but I could save my idea for this year's actual NaNoWriMo and see where it takes me. :)
