Camp is About Here!

As July 1st approaches many of us writers are getting ready for CampNaNoWriMo. 

Finishing up...
research and organizing the last of the many notes we have laying around, not to mention all those thoughts that just jump into our heads when we least expect it. I just a few days we will begin the hard part, putting it all together and making sense of it.

I know I have touched on many of the things I will this post but it is always good to know everything you can, especial before a month of stress and intense writing.

This week you should...
not only be preparing for a month of wonderful writing but also meals, handy snacks and quick drinks. Click Writer's Food tab at the top for tons of great ideas.

If you are looking for a new program to write with...
 check out Scrivener's free 30 day uses (not 30 days but 30 days you open the program). Grab it at Literature & Latte. Need help with keeping the time line in order check out Aeon Timeline at Scribble Code. This free trial is 20 days of use (as with Scrivener it's the days you use it.).

Keeping your blog readers up to date...
on your word counts are made easy by Sarra Cannon with her counters. Sarra's Word Meter is great to update multiple blogs with a click or two. She also has many other Indie Writer's Resources. Language is a Virus has a great NaNo word counter widget.  Writing for Your Supper has many word counter links for you as well.

As for the writing process there are many resources on Twitter. 
Get Wordies for example. We run 30 minute wordsprints Mon-Thurs and and during July we will be having more than our normal schedule and tossing in some 1k1hr to help you along. July 26th is out 10kWritathon (10,000 wordies in 1 day(12 hours- 10 hours of writing). Check out our Sprint Schedules for our times among many others that have sprints.
