Press Release: NaNoWriMo Writers' Camp And Daily Dash


Welcome to the Virtual NaNoWriMo Camp in Milk Wood.
NaNoWriMo Writers' Camp & Daily Dash, Milk Wood (75, 49, 22) - General

We have hot chocolate and muffins, laptops, notebooks, pencils and some of the most supportive writers in Second Life®.

First things first, be sure to check out the main NaNoWriMo site. You can create your account, post information about yourself and your novel, meet other Wrimos and verify your word count once the party gets started on November 1st.

Next, join our special Wrimo group - Milk Wood Wrimos (found in SL search).

Next, grab our 2014 NaNoWriMo gift bag which you'll find next to Nate our friendly NaNoWriMo Officer (will be released on October 25th).

Next, wear our NaNoWriMo Participant Badge (found in the gift bag), activate the group so you are also wearing the group tag, then stand next to Nate (don't worry, he won't bite) and touch his badge (won't work until November 1st, so no cheating), then type in your new word count. Repeat the last step daily.

Please Note: Be sure to remove your 500 Word Snatch titler before you wear your NaNoWriMo badge as the word meter will interfere with it.

Please note we also have a twice-daily Writers' Dash running every Monday-Friday (6am & 6pm Pacific Time) and a 500 Word Snatch on Saturday at 12 noon Pacific time. These are often used by Wrimos to work on their novels.NaNoWriMo Writers' Camp & Daily Dash, Milk Wood (75, 49, 22) - General

A prompt is given and you have fifteen minutes to dash out a paragraph or two using the word (or picture) as inspiration. As well as being useful for sketching out notes and scenes before November, and for kick-starting your writing sessions during the month, they are another fun way to increase your word count. We also offer brief critiques for those attending.

If you want to talk shop with other participants you won't want to miss our Virtual Writers Water Cooler on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group_folder/142415?group_id=77447

You can use the buzz and excitement of November to work on other writing endeavours, such as poetry, plays, short stories or essays. Write whatever takes your fancy - but try to write something every day. 

Happy writing!
