In case you haven't noticed, I am a NaNoWriMo nut.
Just in case you've forgotten, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month - the coolest thing to ever come into my life. It's pretty much a self-imposed deadline to write 50,000 words of a novel in 30 days. Traditionally, it takes place in November but fans of the lunacy have discussed doing it year round. And some actually do.
Now, though, there's talk from the Big Guys in the Office of Letters and Light (they run the show... or at least the website!) of adding a second NaNo to the year. In the summer. And calling it Camp NaNoWriMo.
There's not a whole lot of information about it yet, as everything seems to be hush-hush at the moment, but we're told this is supposed to kick off next month.
Less than two weeks away!
I'm thrilled about it. I love the idea of pitching a tent in my backyard, making s'mores and typing away to the sound of crickets chirping nearby. It'll be such a change from the usual bunker-down-by-the-fireplace-with-a-blanket-cup-of-hot-drink-and-plate-of-Thanksgiving-leftovers-for-a-snack I usually do in the cold month. Don't get me wrong, I love that, in fact I've been loving it since November 2003 and will continue to do it...well, forever. But a change of temp and scenery can do wonders for the imagination. :-)
I'm definitely doing Camp NaNoWriMo. I need to be extra motivated more than one month out of the year.
ReplyDeleteYou can do it, Dan! I always find it easier when hoards of people are working toward the same goal. Fingers crossed it catches on!
