In seven days CampNaNoWriMo starts. Many of you are participating in it. Here are a few tips to get you ready.
Research like crazy
Outline if you are a planner
Character sketches should be about complete (at least for MC)
For pantsers: get your ideas in your head. Maybe character sketches
Plan meals ahead of time. (More writing time)
Meet you cabin mates (good for support)
Get to know who hosts word sprints on twitter
For meals and sprints look over our blog. We have tons of ideas for food & snacks. There are tons of sprints that run at different times, you should try them. Schedules are under our Sprint Schedule.
Yes this is a short post! I'm busy getting ready for camp!
Hope to see you sprinting with us.
10k Writathons are April 11th & 25th!

Saturday FunDay of Writing
In preparation of CampNaNoWriMo....
This Saturday, March 7th, we will be doing 1k1hr wordie grabs from 1:00pm CST to 5:30pm CST.What is a 1k1hr?
It is and hour of writing for a goal of 1000 wordies with 10 minutes breaks in between.Use hashtag #1k1hr & #wordgrab for reporting wordie counts
You do NOT have to participate the whole hour or the whole time. Just tell us how long you wrote for with wordie counts.
Schedule:
All times are CST (GMT/UTC-6 hours)1:00pm-2:00pm
2:10pm-3:10pm
3:20pm-4:20pm
4:30pm-5:30pm
If you want to use these wordie grabs for editing that's great! Wordie counts can be wordies deleted, pages edited, wordies added or scenes changed.
If you will be researching, wordie counts can be anything; descriptions, character traits, plots, plot twists or even photos.

After being ill for almost 2 months, I have reset our word grabbing times. These will NOT interfere with any other sprints that I know of. Check out other sprint times, Sprint Schedule.
I appreciate your understanding with the lack of sprints while I was ill. Thanks my Wordlings.
Many of the sprinting times run longer if there is a need or want for more encouragement. If times do NOT work for you Direct Message them on Twitter. Possibility they can add or move/add sprints to accommodate your schedule.
