NaNo Prep 2019!

NaNo Prep 2019!

NaNo Prep 2019!

*

It's here again! Year after year, CBers have participated in NaNoWriMo. Some of us are in the YWP Classroom, some aren't. Some of us don't exactly know what it is (kudos to the CB for introducing me to NaNo my first year).

NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), to put it simply, is a challenge where one can write an entire novel in a month. You have a word count goal each day, and it's up to you to challenge yourself and push through. Win or lose, it's still an amazing experience and I'd definitely reccommend it. If you participate in NaNoWriMo YWP (Young Writer's Program), you can set your own word goal for the month--so that you can do things at an easier or harder pace. Make the experience your own, and do what works for you.

While there is a Chatterbox Classroom with its own code, it can get a little dead and I wanted to bring a general thread onto the CB for anyone who is interested in NaNo or hasn't heard of it yet. This is your place to get information, the classroom code, and help for anyone who needs it. If anyone has a particularly quirky story idea or prompt, share it here! This is also the place for small story exerpts, and critique.

Want to share what you got from the Dare Machine(YWP) or one of the Plot Generators(basic NaNo)? Do it here! I'm sure my talking elephant that ran away from home with a flying kitchen appliance in an underground passageway to *squints* is that the white house--*Ahem.* I'm sure that guy would love to hear it. He's from the writing prompt generators on both YwP and basic NaNoWriMo.

But basically, please feel free to share anything that wouldn't format well in the YWP Classroom here. Or just share whatever here! 

Happy Preptober!

Woops, shoutout to me for getting my age box wrong. Looks like I didn't have 15 saved on the chromebook.

Yay! So, I haven't done much *cough any cough* planning yet, but in my head I've got this dystopian science-fantasy paranormal thing going on.

Yeah, I dunno what the heck I'm doing this year.

I've heard of NaNoWriMo, and I'd like to participate, but I don't know if it's a website, or if it's like Inktober and you can just do it where/whenever........?

Yes, you can do it whenever, but there's an actual website that makes things a lot easier. It's ywp.nanowrimo.org and the CB has a classroom on there. c:

Cool. I'll ask my mom about it. I'll ask her tonight, actually.

Hey Icy, I just joined the NaNoWriMo account thing. I had to call myself RoosterNyx, tho, bc Nyx is apparently already taken by someone else, which is a bummer.
