July CampNaNo

July is CampNaNoWriMo

You never heard of CampNaNo or NaNoWriMo? 

Well, it's like National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo).November is NaNoWriMo. It is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to creative writing. Participants work toward the goal of writing a 50,000-word draft during the month of November. Valuing enthusiasm, determination, and a deadline, NaNoWriMo is for anyone who has ever thought fleetingly about writing a novel.

Camp is different in many ways. 

Camp NaNoWriMo is a more open-ended version of our original November event. Camp sessions are in both April and July, word-count goals can be between 10,000 and 1,000,000. In addition, writers may attempt non-novel projects. Camp is a creative retreat for whatever you’re working on! It starts July 1st and runs the whole month.

It's a fun way to meet others like you. Whether you are just starting out or have been published. You are assigned to a cabin, if you choose. A cabin is comprised of up to 11 fellow Campers to communicate and share encouragement with during a Camp NaNoWriMo session. This is not a requirement though.

You have plenty of time to register for CAMP. First cabin assignments ate done in 4 days. But CAMP doesn't start until July 1st.

To help you achieve your goal Get Wordies will be running a 10k writathon over at Twitter on July 26th. 
We will do it for our normal 12 hours. Here's the new thing. Participate for the times in YOUR time zone. That means if Get Wordies is starting at 8am you start when your clock says 8am. Follow the themes and have fun. With us doing it this way I will be using Tweet Deck. That means I won't be commenting or favoring your tweets until the next day unless I am online. I can't be up for 24 hours straight.
This Writathon is for those who need the push to make their goal for CampNaNo. Though you don't have to be CAMPING to participate.


**National Novel Writing Month is also a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that believes your story matters.
