Actually, Camp NaNoWriMo has fascinated me for a while now, since it seems a pretty good challenge. Sadly, I don't have as much time as I would like, so it looks like I'll have to skip it this year.

On another note, is there an age limit or something to join?

Oh, and Nessy, can the piece I write based on the prompt be as short as 500 words or something along those lines?

Nope, there isn't an age limit for Camp (tho' I'm pretty sure they recommend 13+). Speaking of age, they also host the Young Writers Program, which is geared more toward younger audiences, it seems. ^^

(edit): this page concerning age may or may not be helpful since the extra NaNo months aren't mentioned.

Cool. Sadly I'm not going to this really cool sounding camp. But I did design a new character that I'm going to use in my next writing... Yay! (honestly I like this character so much I might make him an OC)

Curtis-
Show hidden content

He may be a villain, but he’s no idiot, when he was younger he may of been an outcast but he got straight A’s. One smart Cookie, if you ask me. He enjoys, Chess, Reading, and living a simple yet exotic lifestyle. He wears a lime green Kimono type robe with long sleeves the are longer than his arms, Pinkish-red swirl designs, and a dark hot pink velvet belt. He has a small tan-colored bag that is wrapped around his wait with vines from North Carolina's Green Swamp. Inside that bag is Plant food that will summon his Venus Flytrap army. His nose and mouth are always covered like a ninja, in a green cloth. However his deep black eyes and milk chocolate colored short hair are visible. In the Spring, a White flower pattern will appear on his Kimono-like robe, over the swirls. He is good at Camouflaging, tricking, planning, and tracking down prey. He is always one step ahead of his prey. He also has a huge Green sword, and the tip is poisonous.

Curtis Is not the worst villain ever, and he will come around sometimes. However, you should never give him your complete trust.

Oh my- so much is going on and I didn't notice!
I never heard of this 'NaNoWriMo' until now, sounds fascinating.

I'm also writing a sci-fi short story, and I've got it almost done, but the problem is, it's just too short- it feels like it needs something more at the end. Yet, if I make it longer, it's more than just a 'short story'. What should I do?

Hmm, add a bit more? It'd be a bit longer than a short story but it might flow better

NaNo starts July 1, so I'll probably be less active on PH starting then. But if you think I won't check in on you writers, you've got another thought coming. >: 3

Dakar, good luck with your short story! I love sci-fi, haha. May I ask how many words long it is so far? The definition of "short story" is pretty lax these days.... I'm more partial to writing shorter pieces than multi-chaptered things myself, so I might be able to help. ^^

Show hidden content
The cold winter air rushed past Angelica as she ran through the forest, a glance behind her showing that Volturi castle had been swallowed by the darkness. Leaping over a fallen tree trunk, the young woman paused in the middle of a small clearing, lungs burning from her desperate flight. A low hiss, barely audible over the wind, sounded to Angelica's left, making her swivel in that direction, her blood running cold in her veins. Two crimson eyes stared at her within the thicket of trees, their owner revealed to be that of Aro, one of the Volturi's leaders.

For Camp NaNoWriMo I'm writing two short stories in one book, is that allowed? For a total of 20000 words

Any kind of writing's allowed, it's just a matter of whether it makes you a NaNo Rebel or not.

But to answer your question further, yeah! that's allowed, and it also makes you -not- a Rebel, since it's one book. If it were several separate works, yes, still allowed, just doesn't make you a traditional member.

I'm gonna go for an easy 25k this time around, because I don't think I can 50k my way throughout the whole year, lol.

Thanks, I was freaking out. I don't think I could write 20000 words for one work, as much as I love these characters I burn out fast so 10000 per story is something I can do. Just gotta get my partner in on Camp NaNoWriMo now. Xx

Oh, and as a side note, I know some people who are always/currently Rebels. I was one myself this past April. |D;

Nothing wrong with it! Rebels are definitely welcome in the community (even encouraged if that's what it takes to get them into NaNo, hehehe). And they get their own sub-forum, the lucky ducks!

[chants] Pull them in, pull them in! get them writing if you can! 8'D

Hehehe. I've told her and sent her the link. I should probably broadcast this lovely little Corner in case people on my friends list enjoy writing. Finally the 2 year Writing Block has ended!!!!!

My last feed:
Hey guys I'm really ticked off right now. Let's just say I'm really bummed out and mad right now, so if you don't wanna take the risk of being snapped or yelled at, I wouldn't chat with me right now. Not trying to be an attention hog or anything, just wanted to warn you. Thanks.

(related to that)
I wrote a short poem based how I feel. :C

Show hidden content

It took me by surprise
I should've know, I should of been wise
But it is too late
I’ve missed the deadline date.
I am mad
I am sad
But there is nothing I can do
Expect wait here, and wait for you.

It's a long story I don't really wanna talk about but lets just say, I play this online game, that my best friend irl plays too. My bestie irl is coming over for a sleepover today and we were gonna play it. However... I just got suspended for a day FOR DOING NOTHING WRONG. Apparently "youtube" is personal info :L

How is youtube personal info? That's like Tumblr being personal info. The poem is really good, it has a nice flow ^-^

Grrr. Camp's killing me over here. Hope you guys are doing better with your writing projects in general. :'>

Twofold Hourglass Plots are such a real pain, I'm considering picking up the NaNo Rebel flag and planting it outside my metaphorical tent. I'm a week in, and I guess I just can't wrap up the second one right now. I might count what words I have and then change gears. Throw in the raggedy towel and give up the ghost for adoption.

Wish me luck with writing a fanwork instead. 8'D

Ender, I hope you're feeling better~
