Camp NaNoWriMo Shared Blog Topics? http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/writing-groups-and-clubs/threads/49541 MarthaBechtel I participate in Blog Azeroth which is a World of Warcraft group of bloggers where folks do blog posts in response to a weekly shared topic (and then run around commenting on other folks' blogs to keep the conversation going). I was thinking that this might be a good way to spread the Camping Fever come May (and maybe July)… would anyone else be interested in playing too? :) The forums are shiny-- but there are lots of folks outside the forums who don't know the joy of Camping and I'm hoping to reach a few of those this time 'round... *grin* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <a href="http://www.Martha.net" rel="nofollow">Martha.net</a> -- <a href="http://www.martha.net/category/unquiet-bones/" rel="nofollow">Unquiet Bones</a> (Writing) -- <a href="http://www.martha.net/category/custom-models-com/" rel="nofollow">Custom-Models.com</a> (Model Horses) -- <a href="http://www.martha.net/category/perish-twice/" rel="nofollow">Perish Twice</a> (Warcraft) ... because you can never have enough hobbies.

It needs to be something Camp and NaNo related, so that it lures folks back to the NaNo site, but I'm not sure if they should be writing related or more personal (ie 'why do you do NaNo/what are you planning for NaNo') ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <a href="http://www.Martha.net" rel="nofollow">Martha.net</a> -- <a href="http://www.martha.net/category/unquiet-bones/" rel="nofollow">Unquiet Bones</a> (Writing) -- <a href="http://www.martha.net/category/custom-models-com/" rel="nofollow">Custom-Models.com</a> (Model Horses) -- <a href="http://www.martha.net/category/perish-twice/" rel="nofollow">Perish Twice</a> (Warcraft) ... because you can never have enough hobbies.

Help brainstorm! *grin* What kind of post topics would you like to write about? What day is a good 'cutoff' day to have the topics end? Did you want to do one topic a week in May and then in July, or just May? So many possibilities! *grin* Plus it's a great way to get started on planning out June and August while we still have time. ^_~ heh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <a href="http://www.Martha.net" rel="nofollow">Martha.net</a> -- <a href="http://www.martha.net/category/unquiet-bones/" rel="nofollow">Unquiet Bones</a> (Writing) -- <a href="http://www.martha.net/category/custom-models-com/" rel="nofollow">Custom-Models.com</a> (Model Horses) -- <a href="http://www.martha.net/category/perish-twice/" rel="nofollow">Perish Twice</a> (Warcraft) ... because you can never have enough hobbies.

Any thoughts? :) June 30 – May 6 : Why are you doing Camp NaNo this year? What inspires you, or sparked your interest, or brought you back for another round of insanity? May 7 – 13 : What's your planning process? Do you outline or are you a pantser? Do you just dive in on day one or do you have your story in mind from the get go? May 14 – 20 : Where do you write? On the train, on the plane, in a box, on Firefox? *grin* Do you write at home or at work or whenever you get a chance? Is there one setting that screams 'this is Writing Time™' or not? May 21 – 27 : Alone or in crowds? Building off last week, do you prefer to write alone or is writing in the company of friends (online or off) part of your process? (addendum: are you getting your friends to come to Camp too?) May 28 – June 3 : The Final Countdown Camper rollcall! Are you ready for Camp? What's changed since the first post? Have you chosen a different story idea, or a different place to write, or have you decided that August sounds better than June? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <a href="http://www.martha.net/category/unquiet-bones/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.martha.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Unquiet-Bones-Small.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="Unquiet Bones"></a> <a href="http://www.martha.net/category/custom-models-com/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.martha.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Custom-Models-Small.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="Custom Models"></a> <a href="http://www.martha.net/category/perish-twice/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.martha.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Perish-Twice-Small.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="Perish Twice"></a> <a href="http://www.martha.net/category/everyday-dragons/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.martha.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Everyday-Dragons-Small.jpg" width="50" height="50 alt="></a> <a href="http://www.martha.net/category/view-from-the-molehill/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.martha.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/View-From-The-Molehill-Small.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="View From the Molehill"></a> <a href="http://www.martha.net/category/martha-net/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.martha.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/MarthaNet-Small.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="Martha.net"></a> Writing | Horses | Warcraft | Business | Random | WordPress Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:02:33 +0100 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/writing-groups-and-clubs/threads/49541?page=1#forum_thread_comment_1102364 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/writing-groups-and-clubs/threads/49541?page=1#forum_thread_comment_1102364 Traci-jo All this sounds good to me!
