It’s a official! Camp NaNoWriMo has started and I am a camper, ready to put words to the page! For those of you that don’t know, Camp Nanowrimo is an extention of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). NaNoWriMo takes place each November and each participant tries to write a novel during the month (50,000 words). During Camp Nanowrimo, each person sets their own word count goal.
My goal is still 50,000 words, and I will be working on both writing a new novel and revising the novel I wrote last November. This means I’m hoping for at least 25,000 new words and 25,000 revised words. Secretly I’m sort of challenging myself to double that goal but we will see how this month goes! I’m also working on the first draft of a serial story that I hope to publish on Wattpad.
Falling back in love with writing has been one of the greatest things I have experienced this year, and it makes story telling that much more enjoyable!
Soooo what is Wattpad? I could look it up sure but I’d rather hear what it is to you. I am also returning to writing and hoping to learn from others.
Wattpad is a site where indie authors, or really anyone, can publish their story and have access to the built in audience the site has (they also have a reader app for most devices). It’s free to read/post as far as I know, but I’ve also heard of people self publishing their book on Amazon once they have the whole thing completed/posted, for like 99 cents.
