Go ahead, call me crazy

49 Comments

2014-Participant-Vertical-BannerIn my infinite wisdom borne of never having enough of a challenge in my life, I’ve decided to join Camp NaNoWriMo, which starts July 1st. My goal is to write 25,000 words of the sequel to the novel I started and failed as a NanoWriMo project in November of 2011. That one took me 18 months to finish. I’m not under any delusion that I can get the sequel done in a month, so I won’t even try.

But wait, Linda, I hear you saying. You can’t even reply to the comments on your blog, what makes you think you can take on another project?

To answer that question, I have no idea other than that I need to start being creative again or I will go completely around the bend. I’m halfway there now, and let me tell you, the scenery ’round there is scary-dark and smells ominously like a fart.

Is it worse than getting lost in the woods while at Camp Nano? There’s only one way to find out. I figure I should be okay as long as I don’t come across any bears — ‘coz you know what THEY do in the woods.

    I understand! When your hands become restless you just have to write!

    No – I do NOT know what bears do in the woods! Spill it! I know what lions and elephants do – but bears I am unfamiliar with.
    Good luck dear 😉

    Good luck to you! I attempted NaNoWriMo in 2012 and didn’t get very far… I hope you’re able to succeed! 🙂

    Crazy? You? Doing another camp to write a sequel? I don’t know sounds perfectly sane to me.

    Good luck! I’d thought about doing something for NaNoWriMo last year, but all I managed to do was get a YA mystery novel pretty much planned out. I never did get anything actually written for it. Don’t know if I’ll do anything for NaNoWriMo this year. I may try.

      I wrote a novel for the real NaNo in November last year – I haven’t read it yet. My best friend read it though and said it was pretty good. 😛

      So yeah, I’ve got four unfinished novels on the go now and I’m starting another one.
      Let me know if you decide to do it this November – I’ll probably be ready to start another one by then. We can be writing buddies. 🙂
