How can you say no to that face? Belle wants you to participate! Hehe 🙂

For anyone that doesn’t know Camp NaNo is different from regular November NaNo in a couple of crucial ways:

1. You can set your own word count goal (I don’t think there’s a minimum value so set it as high or as low as you like)
2. They allow you to track time and pages, in addition to words. So you could write a screenplay, edit a story, plan a story, write poetry, whatever you want really.
3. They have these things called cabins

It is because of these cabins that I am making this post. We currently have getting on for a dozen Rumbelle writers and we can have up to 20 – so still plenty of room! The cabins have like a messageboard thing allowing communication on the NaNo site. I’ve always found it’s easier to write knowing I’m among friends, rather than sitting alone banging my head against the keyboard. I’ve been doing Camp NaNo for years and it always sucks if the cabin is a ghost town so in my cabin:

1. I post daily facts everyday for inspiration purposes
2. I post a daily word count challenge
3. Time zones permitting I run word sprints

Generally I’ve found that so long as somebody’s talking, then the cabin picks up in activity anyway. So got a fanfic you want to finish? Doing Mayday Menagerie? Just wanting a boost in the writing stakes?

Camp NaNo is a lot more relaxed than regular NaNo, as I said above you can work on different kinds of writing, or different parts of the writing process, or even on lots of projects at once. Camp is really about just making progress on things, and getting stuff done in a supportive and friendly environment. So there’s no real barrier to joining in the fun 🙂

If you would like to join then sign up and/or create a project on the Camp NaNo site. Then reply/reblog/message me with your NaNo username and I will send you a cabin invite. You must create your project first or the invite won’t work. Any questions or anything let me know 🙂

Yes it is that time again and just like last year I will be running a cabin!
