Notes
Camp Nanowrimo opens next Friday, are you in? Pack your bag, remember bug spray and writing implements, and head on over to http://www.campnanowrimo.org/ and log in with the same details you use on the main site. Then just name your opus, set cabin mates choices and start planning your story arc (or not) while you wait for the camp fire to be lit and the fun to begin!
Are you in? Tell us about it here, the forum is open all summer!
Now Nanowrimo is over, and ChesterWriMo as well, you might well be wondering how you are going to keep your word count up whilst being gently peer pressured into achieving your goal of writing a novel. But how about writing a script instead? Screen, stage, graphic novel - if it needs a formatted script, it's just the thing for ScriptFrenzy, which is conveniently situated in April. Hop on over to scriptfrenzy.org, where you can log in with the same details as for this site, find our brand new Chester region and say hi to or equally brand new ScriptFrenzy ML, Steve the Fan, who will be guiding you through a month of scriptwriting madness. See you there!
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday Write-In this last week of February! Come join us and pull yourself kicking and screaming over the 10K, 20K, 30K mark! Remember, you can't edit a blank page, nor can you publish a half written first draft (never mind Dickens).
Welcome to Chester Writing Month! Have you got your goal? Your word count widget? Your story? A plot? Caffeine?
Right, then. Let's write!
Need stuff to put in your calendar? Here's some:
FEBRUARY: Chester Writing Month - our own Nano, a K a day;
APRIL: ScriptFrenzy, Nano for scriptwriters - 100 pages in a month;
JUNE: Camp Nanowrimo, a Nano light, where we'll write 50K again;
AUGUST: ... and again, another camp, another 50K.
Then take September and October off, or use them to edit, before
NOVEMBER: The original and best: Nanowrimo 2012!
Thank you to everyone who came to the TGIO party and made the evening so much fun! But it doesn't have to stop there - there are other wordy adventures to be had through the year, and we'll start the Write-ins again in January, so you don't have to write alone if you want to finish your NaNovel - or start a new one. We are on a roll now, don't stop writing!
Have a good Christmas and New Year, and I hope to see you again in January!
That's it. It's over. But we managed to write over 4 million words together, words that weren't there in October, and I think we should all give ourselves a round of applause and a nice treat!
After you have rested and caught up on your sleep and essential nutrients, re-established contact with friends and family and start getting used to reality again (boo!) you should come to the Thank God It's Over party in our usual haunt, The Forest House in Love Street, Chester - in the down stairs part - tomorrow, Dec 2nd, at six to celebrate and discuss our Nanowrimo novels, efforts and experiences. There'll be stickers and goodie bags!
Welcome to the brand new and shiny site for Nanowrimo 2011! Make yourself at home and use the forum to introduce yourself, post questions or comments and get to know everybody. We'd also love to see you at our Write-Ins, where you can meet your fellow Wrimos and still boost the all important word count - check the calendar for dates!
Contact me by Nanomail if you need help with anything, or on twitter @ChesterWrimo.
