"The time has come, the walrus said, to talk of..." writingandnovelingandcampingandcabiningandCBeringwhichisnotaverbbutbequietinnergrammarian.
Firstly, to preempt any questions: NaNoWriMo is a project where you write a novel (50,000 words) in a month in November. YWP is a project for anyone under 13 where you write a novel (you chose the word count) in a month in November. Camp NaNoWriMo is a project where you write a novel in a month in April or July with twelve friends in a cabin. This way you get to see your friends' projects and celebrate with them when they reach their goals! Sadly, Camp is only for those 13 and up, though you can unofficially join in and write, of course, anytime!
Anyway, I've decided to make a cabin for CBers! If you're 13 and over and want to write, whether you've done it before or not, it's campnanowrimo.org to sign up.
I've done this last April and July and this most recent November. I've never led a cabin before, but I really want to get to know a lot of CBers better! I know a lot of you might not be 13 yet, but I'm sure everyone on this site loves reading and by extension, writing! I'm overusing exclamation points!
In order to join the cabin, you need to 1. make an account or update your previous years' account 2. make a project and 3. give me your username (don't worry, the admins allow NaNo usernames on CB) on this thread.
It's more about the social aspect and being able to write together in a cabin, so don't worry if you aren't confident in your writing ability. We're all in this together (no, I promise, I wasn't singing).
I'm linhcinder_solarpunk, by the way, if anyone wants to NaNoMail me.

I'm only 11 so I can't do NaNo, but I might try YWP. Is Camp NaNo online or is it a real camp?
(March 3, 2016 - 8:33 pm)
It's online.
(March 3, 2016 - 11:54 pm)
I will invite you to the cabin! Please no one lie about your age, though. It's not worth it!

I would like to join the cabin! I almost created a thread asking about this but I'm glad you did! Thanks! My username is The queen 7
Thanks again!!

Oh okay. Sorry I didn't think it probably mattered. Anyway, it'd be awesome if it was real camp!!!
(MURDER, MAYHEM, MEETING PEOPLE YOU DONT EVEN KNOW!)
But sadly, it isn't.

Btw I signed up; now I just need someone to explain what I'm supposed to put under my projects info. Is it like your camp project?
Which doesn't make sense because I though we were supposed to work on the novel together . . .
(March 3, 2016 - 11:23 pm)
Novel projects are personal projects. I never see your novel unless you mail it to me; you never see mine. Instead, we both work on writing as much as we can on our own projects! You don't have to figure it out yet what you're working on, just put a placeholder title that you can change later. Please check the site FAQs, I'm not as good at explaining this.

I'd love to join your cabin! I literally just signed up yesterday. My username is Leafmist, just like my CB name.
(March 4, 2016 - 12:45 pm)
You are required to create a project.

For everyone who is too young to do Camp: They have cabins on YWP, it's basiclly the same as Camp, just more relaxed.
My username on YWP is Starry Flyet, l might make a cabin on YWP, so do come over and join me!
(March 4, 2016 - 1:32 pm)
Shadow, will you PM me if you make one?
(March 4, 2016 - 4:08 pm)
Most certainly, my friend.
(March 4, 2016 - 10:54 pm)
So, do I need to do anything special to my cabin preferences to be able to join a cabin? I have no idea how anything works =P

Please people check the NaNo faqs, everything's there. But you're good! I just invited you. Whatever you did must be right.
