What is Camp Nano?

 

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) 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 NaNoWriMo is a more open-ended version of our original November event. We have Camp sessions in both April and July, and we welcome word-count goals 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!

 

Just wondering if anyone else is going to participate this July. I plan to, but will probably have to go for the low end goal of 10,000 words or so. However, if I get on a roll, I might dedicate more time to it. I'm either going to try to write a completely new story, or I might pick up my failed attempt at the last Nano, and start over changing elements here and there. My biggest difficulty last attempt was writing normal conversations, I just seem to be lacking in that area.

I might do this, I have a thing for writing novels despite the fact I don't care for reading them. I have a really long story I want to get out of my head, but I unsure if it's suited for a contest. I'll probably share it on this site anyways.

It's a nice idea, but I can never get over my own insecurities. Maybe if I'm in a good mood at the time I'll give it a go.
