Camp Nanowrimo

[Angelskates]

Is anyone in?

I'm not sure yet, I like the flexibility though, but want to look more at the details, and then think of options I can do before I decide.

[MacMadame]

My writing group is planning to do it. (We started with Nanowrimo and never stopped)

I think we've decided an average 1,000 words a day in April.

[Bunny Hop]

Yes, I'm in. November no longer works for me, as I have other commitments, so the chance to do something in April instead is welcome. I've set a very low word count though (15,000 words), as work is so busy these days I can never guarantee my free ime.

Not exactly sure what I'll be writing yet. I've put in a tentative idea, but it may change.

[CynicElle]

I'm in the middle of revising my first NaNo novel, so I'll probably wait 'til November to write a whole new story. Good luck to anyone who joins up for April!

[MacMadame]

I'm in the middle of revising my Nanowrimo book too and I'm not sure I want to stop. I was going to write a play this time.

[Bunny Hop]

I've decided I will be a Camp NaNo rebel and instead of writing something new, will be trying to add to the word count of my 2011 NaNo Novel. I only wrote 15,000 words of that, so I'm aiming to write another 15,000 in April.

There are other people doing similar - either adding to, editing or re-writing previous material. I haven't been able to work out yet whether this is tacitly approved or not, but it's what I would actually prefer, rather than starting something new. I did Script Frenzy last year and really enjoyed it, so writing another script was another option.

[CynicElle]

Yeah, there's a whole section of NaNo rebels doing editing instead of rewriting. I might join along with that, although I'm going to be doing a LOT of rewriting as part of my editing process.

[MacMadame]

I'm going to be writing the last part of my memoirs. It's all new writing but it's not a totally new work. Either that I will work on my play: The Santa Wars.

[TygerLily]

Ooh, this is interesting! November and April are just terrible for me in my field, but there's one in July. Which would be perfect. Hmmmmm....

[MacMadame]

There's one in July too.

[misskarne]

I'd forgotten about Camp NaNo. I might give it a crack, but nothing huge or ridiculous like 50k. *muses*

[Bunny Hop]

I really need to start writing (I know, get off the internet and do something!). I should have time to make inroads this week.

[misskarne]

I went for 15k as my word goal. Just to get things moving again. Maybe I'll tackle something bigger in July.

[MacMadame]

I won't write anything until tonight after work so I have until then to decide but I'm having trouble deciding what to write. I can finish my memoirs. I can start my play, The Santa Wars, or I can start the novel, Surgically Altered Freak. I think I'll save that for Nov and Nanowrimo though. So it's just the play or the memoirs.

Usually I'd do which one scares me but they both scare me.

[misskarne]

I'm presently at a tick under 6000 words but had to stop for a couple of days while I did some real world stuff. 15k is looking like a rather conservative goal now. I wonder if you can change the goalposts halfway through...

[MacMadame]

Just smash it. I did 70000 for Nanowrimo.

I have done 200 words. Wooo!

Yeah, not going well. It's part of an ongoing problem that I need to work out this weekend.

[Bunny Hop]

650 words. Didn't get as much time to work on it while I was at my parent's place as I would have liked. But I'm still optimistic.

[MacMadame]

I still haven't done anything. Too many outside influences sucking me dry. I hate people sometimes.

[misskarne]

8186. I'm being a bit stop-start - I didn't write for a few days, and then put on a few thousand words...
