Raincloak Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Oh why not... I'm Raksab over there, wasn't really serious about doing Camp NaNo but I might as well add it to my to-do list.p.s. I just requested y'all, so you probably don't need to worry about it. Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Hylian Assassin 5'5", 143 lbs. Half-marathon: 3:02It is pitch dark.

Oogiem Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Well we got assigned, not all of us in my cabin but a few. See you on the flip side campers ;-) Oogie McGuire Black Sheep Shepherdess STR 4.25 | DEX 4.5 | STA 3.75 | CON 3 | WIS 4.75 | CHA 1 Link to comment

Raincloak Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hmm, seems they put most of us together but tossed in a few strangers just to mess with us. Should be interesting.

Oogiem Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Yeah looks like the didn't give everyone who they wanted, sort of like a real camp ;-)ANd yes we'll keep in touch here as well Oogie McGuire Black Sheep Shepherdess STR 4.25 | DEX 4.5 | STA 3.75 | CON 3 | WIS 4.75 | CHA 1 Link to comment
tonic Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 This is going to be interesting. I am going to have to figure out a hourly schedule. I really want to actually finish the 50,000 words, but at the same time I don't want my fitness minutes to decrease or to slack on the cooking. So how, is everyone else going to fit this in? I could totally use some tips. tonic Shapeshifting Rebel It is the job that is never started that takes longest to finish. - J.R.R. Tolkien tonic's taking it back Link to comment
keyboardwench Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Wait, is it too late to get in on this? NaNo in August would be perfect for me, no school. November is too busy with finals and papers and gross stuff like that. If it's not too late I'm keyboardwench. New to Camp NaNoWriMo but not NaNo itself, but still trying to figure out this new site haha. Link to comment
Jcannon98188 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I don't know about this camp thingy-ma-bob but National Novel Writing Month sounds like a fantastic idea. Totally going to do a novel Link to comment
Oogiem Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 You can join in at anytime, not sure how the Cabin assignments go though, this is my first Camp NaNo. I'm going to work on my novel in the mornings when I would normally be here and on other forums. I tend to do bursty writing, I'll skip a few days them pump out 4000 words in one go. I am also setting up my mac laptop with Scrivener and will be taking it to the brewery to write (in the grand tradition started by Paolo Bacigalupi and Craig Childs) instead of knitting. Although that won't start until the Ravellenic Games are over, I have a knitting project in them as well.

Librarian of Doom Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I'm interested to find out how you like Scrivener...I'm very tempted now that it's available for PC, but I'm afraid I'd spend too much time arranging things on my cork board and not enough time actually writing. Maybe I'll make a present of it to myself if I finish my 50,000 this month. Hobbit Ranger seeking balance (and cookies) Current Challenge Link to comment
Raincloak Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 It looks like the first cabin of us NerdFits is full, but those who didn't get in can request each other maybe? You can also quit your cabin and submit a fresh request, I think.Actually, the whole cabin thing does not look like a really big deal. There doesn't appear to be a forum or anything for cabin-mates. I see a little twitterboard in the "My Cabin" area, and that's about it. I am going to make a resolution right now to NOT check that page obsessively, because my time is limited and I have a big list of things to do in August already.I suggest if we are going to novel next month (perhaps as part of the upcoming 6-week challenge?) we keep discussions here instead. But that's just a suggestion, of course. We should be nice and reach out to the non-NFers in our cabins too, perhaps.There was some website with a novel contest closing in September, and they offered a cash prize ... I was thinking of writing the novel in August and submitting it for that contest. I'll put up a link if I can remember where the site was.Next problem is deciding what to write about... I need to go for a nice long walk and audition some plots and characters. Say, would any of you like to be in my novel? Or perhaps loan me your superhero alter-egos? I can't make any promises, but I'll try and move them to the front of the casting list Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Hylian Assassin 5'5", 143 lbs.

tonic Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I have a general idea of the plot and started writing. I hope to get a good chunk done this weekend. I have always wanted to be a writer so maybe this is the start of that dream coming true. tonic Shapeshifting Rebel It is the job that is never started that takes longest to finish. - J.R.R.

Thrillho Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I'm registered, and forgot Camp NaNoWriMo even existed. Wow. The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well. There was aggression on both sides. Link to comment
