Camp NaNoWriMo Is Coming!
Are you prepared? Camp NaNo isn’t as intense as National Novel Writing Month, way off in November. During Camp, you can set your own goals–customize everything. So if you want to edit, and keep track in hours, that’s okay! Or if you maybe only want to attempt 25,000 words instead of 50,000, awesome!! Either way, get writing. Because nothing good will happen if you just sit around waiting for inspiration. It’s time to dig into the trenches, and Camp is the perfect opportunity!

Camp NaNo
My last post was about National Novel Writing Month, but that’s months away, and really, who can wait? That’s why they host summer events, cleverly called Camp NaNoWriMo. And guess what? There’s a Camp NaNo starting on April 1st! (And that’s no joke!)

My NaNoWriMo History
So, I’ve mentioned National Novel Writing Month before. Basically, if you weren’t around for that post, it’s the most amazingly awesome writing event ALL YEAR. I’m not rabid. It’s just that epic. The idea of writing 50,000 words in a month is super intimidating to some people, for good reason. That’s a lot of words! But hey, 2016 will be my 9th year as a participant, not including all the Camp NaNos I’ve attempted. And so far, I’ve lost more than I’ve won.

Here’s why you should do it.
