Anyone doing Camp NaNo for April?

[kate]

I did it last July and made my goal, but my cabin was stupid and there was no excitement, chatter, or anything else. Anybody got a cool cabin that needs another person, or want to try building a cabin of our own?

I know what you mean about November - it's never really a good time for me to be tackling this kind of thing either. I've tried a time or two, but never actually got there.

This looks interesting! I'm not sure if I should try, or if I'd just frustrate myself more by failing ...

[kate]

Maybe set yourself a realllllly low goal so you can't help but make it? I'm usually pretty good at cheerleading if I have a person or two who are in it with me.

[trobadora]

Can you actually go as low as you like? That might be fun, actually! And I could use feeling like I succeeded at something for a change.

Let me think if I can come up with a project of appropriate length I might want to tackle for this ...

[kate]

Or just do a general wordcount one? That's what I normally do, and my wife and I are both working on projects we've already started for this.

COME PLAY WITH US! I will cheerlead you so hard, bb! <333

[trobadora]

Nah, if I do this I want to use it to actually finish something, so no interminable WIPs need apply. *g*

I totally want to play, though! And I'll cheerlead you right back. ♥ ♥ ♥

YAYYYYYY! I'm getting excited about this! Here's to finding and awesome project to work on!

[trobadora]

Sooo ... okay. I'm doing this. *deep breaths* Getting excited, too!

Aiming for the lowest-possible word count - I know I can write and edit 10,000 words in a long weekend if I have to. So I should be able to get there in a month, right? *g* And I'm not entirely settled on a project yet, but I think I've got one that could be finished with 10,000 more words. *ponders some more*

I suppose I need to sign up now ... how does that cabin thing work again? (Excuse the clueless newb questions!)

[kate]

YAYAYAYAYAYAYYYYYYYY! OMG THIS IS THE BEST!

Okay, so if you have a NaNo login, you just go to the Camp NaNo site, log in, and edit your novel info. Once you've done that, we can start building our cabin. Your username is the same as here?

[trobadora]

Logged in, novel info placeholdered in! (I made a new account under this username - my old one is connected to my RL name.)

[kate]

And now you should be invited! :D :D :D :D

We need to come up with an awesome cabin name!

[trobadora]

And here I am! *g*

[kate]

*flails* I AM SO EXCITED! This is the most excited I've been for writing in a really long time. Now to come up with a cool cabin name!

[trobadora]

Woohoo! \o/

I'm not good with names ... *flails*

[kate]

I'm hit or miss. Seems like something to do with flailing might be fairly accurate, though!

[trobadora]

Heh. Can't really argue with that!

[kate]

Maybe Cabin Flailsalot? HRM. I like Cabin Flailhard, too. DECISIONS DECISIONS.

[trobadora]

Hahaha, I like Flailhard better than Flailsalot. The way it rolls off the tongue. *g*

[kate]

Yeah, I like it too. Plus, it's like DIE HARD. WHICH. YES. :D

Did someone say naming was needed?

[jjhunter]

Cabin Wordhoard? Cabin Flail To Finish? Cabin Flailhard? Cabin Generative Fun?

;oD

Re: Did someone say naming was needed?

[kate]

AHAHAHAH LOVE! I like Cabin Flailhard!

Re: Did someone say naming was needed?

[jjhunter]

Yours if you want it! Good luck with the writing.

*waves pom-poms of encouragement*

Woooooo! Thank you!
