Camp NaNoWriMo August 2011 - Day 1

Day 1 - 30 days remaining



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


- Melinda Haynes

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!

A few, but it may also be my ISP. The server farm my connection routes through is having problems too. I think it's the imp of perverse out to get me.
