I might take advantage of the summer camp to finish my novel. I've had to tack on another 15 chapters and getting the motivation has been daunting. I don't know, we'll see. Maybe us who live in the California 94XXX area should get together and pester each other on our progress.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718986689854784255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771393570564645054.post-69680441569295266052012-05-09T08:41:19.643-07:002012-05-09T08:41:19.643-07:00I'd be doing great if I even manage to do the ...I'd be doing great if I even manage to do the regular NaNo contest coming up in November -- summers are actually more busy musically than the rest of the year for me, so I won't have time/energy for Camp NaNo, alas.<br /><br />But have a great time! You're an excellent writer.<br /><br />I will be playing the Midsummer Mozart festival in the bay area, staying at my friend's house in Lafayette (July 16 -29). Perhaps I can persuade you to take a break from Camp NaNo for another type-in?Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11633967390492270136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771393570564645054.post-12930116817064798452012-05-09T05:40:03.259-07:002012-05-09T05:40:03.259-07:00Hmmm...

I think closing the circle would be great. Maybe I will try that with you.notagainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915679111849352765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771393570564645054.post-50050950563715985442012-05-08T20:06:55.727-07:002012-05-08T20:06:55.727-07:00NaNoWriMo is a worldwide project (contest?) to try...NaNoWriMo is a worldwide project (contest?) to try to draft a 50,000 word novel in one month. Typically it's done in November, but the folks behind NaNo have branched out with the idea of a summer camp, and hold two other events in the summer.<br /><br />A number of us are overtaken by madness every November and try it, many typing the drafts on our trusty machines. We're the self-styled "Typewriter Brigade" and we're generally a bit more crazed than the rest, since we are basically setting ourselves up for twice the work: typing the draft, and then getting it into a computer somehow afterwards (usually after the month ends.) <a href="http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/faq/how-nanowrimo-works" rel="nofollow">Here's a good primer on NaNoWriMo in general.</a>mpclemenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12807147515549175803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771393570564645054.post-60089028505442555752012-05-08T19:56:04.935-07:002012-05-08T19:56:04.935-07:00Pardon my ignorance (I'm a fairly recent and &...Pardon my ignorance (I'm a fairly recent and "green" member of the typosphere); but, what's this NaNoWriMo thing about?
