Camp Nanowrimo is starting on April 1. I am writing this piece now because this gives you plenty of time to get yourself prepared to join. To organize yourself to be ready to start on April 1st. Camp is different from Nanowriomo in November. You are put into cabins to help support one another. You also are not required to write 50,000 words, you set your own limit.
This is a great opportunity to put a little kick in the butt to your writing. I say this only because sometimes you need to give yourself a deadline to be able to push out that book you have been trying to get out. So I think that every writer should be signed up for this. It is a place that is great for other writers to be able to meet online or in groups to support each other.
I always try to participate in the camp as well as Nanowrimo. I personally find it to be a great help. Deadlines help to push me. The community is also helpful in pushing you. I’ve also had some great cabins to work with too.
You should check out the event and yes it is an online event. But a lot of cities have groups that actually get together to do write-ins. Below is the link to the webpage to sign up. Hope you do.
