The maker of a sentence launches out into the infinite
and builds a road into Chaos and old Night,
and is followed by those who hear him with something
of wild, creative delight.


- Ralph Waldo Emerson


And so Nano Writer, a most remarkable month draws to a close - the first ever Camp NaNoWriMo! We've had word from several writers about crossing the 50K finish line and it must be said: Well Done! But I also want to congratulate everyone who signed up for the July camp, took a chance on the beta site and participated in the challenge despite the odd bug or two!

Writing during July was a great experience for me, something I found to be very different than November. I really appreciated the additional hours of sunlight (being north of the equator). The extra day was a nice bonus as well :-)

And three cheers for all the Nano Writers signing on for August! It should be great fun as well, especially with all the bells and whistles in place. Wishing all Nano Writers Good Luck and a wonderful journey! And as always, keep writing!

Forget all the rules. Forget about being published.
Write for yourself and celebrate writing.

Welcome to all Nano Writers taking part in the August version of Camp NaNoWriMo! It should be an exciting month and the road lies before us, the freshly painted 50K finish line waiting for our triumphant arrival...

But to arrive, we must take those first scary steps. Ignore the blank page (literally or figuratively) and let's just talk about the math. Today's word goal is 1,613 words which is an easy 538 words if you divide the day's writing over three sessions: first thing in the morning, a couple of pages during lunch and again sometime in the evening. That's not so bad, right? Just 538 words, three times a day. And I bet, once you sit down and start writing, you'll do better than that. Just give the lead to your main character and see where he or she takes you!

So to your notebooks, my dear Nano Writers, or to your laptops (or other electronic device of choice) and let the story begin!
