Camp NaNoWriMo!

Camp NaNoWriMo!

It's that time of year again! Who else is excited for Camp NaNo April 2018? I know I am!

The past couple of years we've had a CB cabin (a virtual writing group) for any CBers who are participating and want to be invited. I just created the cabin for this year on the Camp NaNo site, and I'll invite anyone who wants to be in it. Just give me your username (mine is Leeli on there, too, by the way. I wanted to change it once, but couldn't figure out how), and I'll send you an invitation! Feel free to give me the usernames of other CBers you know would like to be added, too, and I'll add everyone as soon as possible.

Oh, I’m just on the YWP. That’s why I don’t have a project. I’ll figure that whole thing out this weekend if that’s okay, and then I’ll start a project in that account.

Hey, I've never heard of NaNoWriMo, but it sounds cool. Can someone explain it to me?

Of course! So, NaNoWriMo is short for National Novel Writing Month, which is in November. During NaNoWriMo, people from all over set word goals and try to reach them. NaNo has a site for adults, and a site for kids and teens under 18 called NaNoWriMo YWP (Young Writer's Program). There is also Camp NaNo, which is like regular NaNo, except that it's held in April and July. On the Camp NaNo site (separate from the other sites) they have virtual 'cabins' or small online writers' groups. For a couple years, we've made a CB cabin, for anyone on the CB to be in. 

If you want to participate, first go and create an account on the Camp NaNo site. Then, once you've created a project, give me your username, and I'll add you to the cabin. If you don't want to do it this time, that's totally fine too.

I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Sounds fun! What exactly are the cabins? Are they like forums? Folders?

They're sorta like mini forums. There's a little message board where you can chat with other people in the cabin.
