#camp nano

Can't believe NaNoWriMo just did this, but literally.

Okay so… we are literally the 24th of March, which means Camp NaNo in April is basically around the corner 👀👀👀 What do you mEAN MARCH IS NEARLY OVER-

If you’re planning to write (or even just attempt to write), I made a little Tumblr community called The Pinewood Scholars’ Lodge!🌲🕯️📜

It’s very cozy, slightly chaotic, dark academia camp energy!!

I made this community after the poll I made a while back since you peeps seemed to want it, and also this will help do writing sprints, share snippets, complain about word counts (lovingly) & encourage each other through the horrors (affectionate) of drafting! Whether you’re aiming for 50k or just trying to write a few words consistently, you’re very welcome here!!

And yes… the name is Pinewood because we are all collectively pining over our manuscripts. I will not apologize for my bad jokes-

Here it is!!!!

Join The Pinewood Scholars’ Lodge • Community on Tumblr

A cozy retreat for writers surviving Camp NaNo!

Also!! If you prefer something more active, I do have a Discord with:

Writing sprints bot (including VC/music channels if you like that)

Music, mythology, and dark academia vibes

General writer chaos and support

I just send Discord invites through DMs to avoid bots and scammers, so feel free to ask!

That being said… quick warning: if I see bots or scam accounts in this community, I will report and expose them. Screenshots. Accounts. Dms. Threats. No hesitation. No mercy.

I am, in fact, the same person (that bitch) who made that 44+ page guide on Tumblr scams (beta readers, fake editors, all of it), and I am not afraid to become deeply, personally annoying about it again.

This is a cozy lodge for writers, not a playground for scammers. Enter at your own risk.

Anyway!! If you want a cozy little corner to survive Camp NaNo together, come join the lodge!!

This was in my head and I had to make it.

Goal Complete

It is done!!!! Barely!!!

And yes, some more chapters with Makoto finally! I am not sure how I pulled that off writing over 30,000 words in less than two weeks. 😮‍💨😮‍💨 Sleep deprivation. So exhausted and about to lose my mind. Not going to look at Chaos Theory until Sunday to edit 115. I need a break!!!

Acts 114 to 117 are written and I've made a small dent in 118 for October. Such a relief!

I am kind of scared to see how many written pages Chaos Theory is at... I mean the word count is kind of scary as it is. Posted it is currently at 1,072,471 on A03. Not counting Rebirth. OMG it is going to hit 1.1 million before the end of the year! What is wrong will me??

Anyhow, the part I know everyone looks forward to, the posting schedule:

Act 114: August 8th.

Act 115: August 22nd.

Act 116: September 5h.

Act 117: September 19th.

Act 118: October 3rd.

Act 119: October 17th.

There will not be a new act on October 31st to prepare for the next writing month in November.

See you tomorrow for the teaser for Act 114!

is anyone doing camp nano or are we all just side-eyeing the shit that's going on w nanowrimo at the moment

I have tentatively put a project on the site but maybe I'll just do a sort of "unofficial" camp nano during april and not use the site at all

I don't really understand 80% of what's going on but it seems ummmm Bad

How many times can I use the word “wound” in this chapter before my readers spontaneously manifest in my house to beat me up

NaNo Alternative

Just thought I'd say that I swapped over to TrackBear for Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). It has a very old school NaNo feel and one of the major pros, for those of you who were invested in your old projects and accounts, is that you can transfer the data from your NaNo account into TrackBear (if you haven't already deleted it).

(I'll probably do a post on all the alternatives I've seen when we are closer to November, though I've swapped my writing month to May, for "May We Write"... which I did make up.)

who wants to do a private NouveuNaNoWriMo group for April?
