April Plans

So, as many of you well know, I will be participating in Camp NaNoWriMo this April (I hope you will be joining me?), which, naturally, means I will be writing my face off in order to reach 50k in the course of one Month, which, again naturally, means I will not have as much time for Blogging as I would like.

I planned out this April on my Calender, trying to see if I couldn't fit a normal schedule in there on some days, but there's simply no way to write really great, quality posts that you need while my brain is drowning in so many words and late night and Coffee and Chocolate.

So, I WILL be posting--I am pre-writing some Reviews I've gotten behind on, and will post those throughout the Month, along with some Updates and Top Three Thursdays so, all in all, a pretty full Month ahead, but I just wanted to give you guys a little insight on what to expect.

To be honest, I'm a bit panicked at the moment--I have one day left until April 1st and I haven't even decided which Novel I will be working on!

I currently have three--YES, THREE--ideas that could be potential Novels, but I can't pick between them! I'm sure most of it has to do with this little problem I mentioned here, so I'm just all over the place.

One Novel I've over-thought way too much to the point that I've rather boxed myself in (I've tried re-planning this idea at least four times now.), the second Novel I haven't thought out enough (And this is fine with me, but usually I like to had at least a Point A to Point B.), and the Third Novel is just merely a flicker of an idea.

So each one I could probably salvage, but each is COMPLETELY different from the last, and I'm not sure what I'm in the mood to write next.

So, all dramatics aside, I'll decide and I will overcome and I will write this April, whether I hit 50k or not!

Also, I'm sure I'll be posting regularly over on all the places Defying Impossible is TAKING OVER THE INTERNETZ, so make sure to hit Like, Follow, Subscribe, ect, at THESE places!

Camp NaNoWriMo?

So, as most of you very well know:

Camp NaNoWrimo begins in April!

*Celebrations! Excitement! Buy Lots of Caffeine!*

What is NaNoWriMo, you may ask?:

"National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to creative writing. On November 1, participants begin working towards the goal of writing a 50,000-word novel by 11:59 p.m. on November 30. Valuing enthusiasm, determination, and a deadline, NaNoWriMo is for anyone who has ever thought fleetingly about writing a novel."

So CAMP NaNoWriMo is just exactly the same as that, except it starts April 1st rather than in November!

Want to know more? Of course!:

"Welcome to the fourth year of Camp NaNoWriMo!

We first imagined Camp simply as an off-season alternative to National Novel Writing Month, but it’s evolved into much more than that: writers choose their own projects—from novel sequels to scripts to pop-up books—and find cabin communities (and often new friends) to support them.

We call it a retreat because you can write anything here, plus see what you’re capable of when you have the time and space to create.

Last year, we introduced flexible word-count goals (10,000 to 999,999) and the ability to add your own project genre. Our 2014 features are designed to make Camp even more open-ended:

Remodeled, ultra-hyphy cabins. Share your triumphs with more fellow writers: cabins now accommodate 12 campers. Worried that’ll be too much conversation to keep track of? We’ve also added @replies to the cabin message board. Set your preferences before March 25 to claim your bunk.

Full project-defining power. Now, you can select your genre and category. Working on a collection of swashbuckling tales? “Adventure Short Stories” will be shown on your profile. Writing presidential haikus? You can proudly display your choice of “Historical Poetry.” Create and edit your project here.

One-click access to the big world of Camp. Hanging with cabin mates is great, but there are about 20,000 other campers to meet, too. Find quick links to our blog, Facebook, and Twitter in your cabin and on the homepage.

A new T-shirt, a full stock of merchandise, and updated donation levels. The shirt is gorgeously candlelit, plus there’s a twig pen! And as always, we have an array of web and social media graphics to show your Camp spirit.

The writing starts on April 1, and we’ll have plenty more to share before then. For now, start thinking about what you’d like to work on. Remember: this is your creative retreat. Make it count!

Sounds epic, right? Trust me, it is.

I did Camp NaNoWriMo in July last year, and I had the most fun ever! I also did the original NaNoWriMo in November, and had such a good time.

I look forward to NaNoWriMo anytime I'm not doing it--it's the perfect motivator to get those words on the page, plus you get to meet and interact with so many awesome people while you're writing a book? Now, WHAT is better than that?

So hurry! Go sign up and get to celebrating!

Stock up on the caffeine--you're going to need it!

(Feel free to add me as a Writing-Buddy if you already have your account set up! You can find my page HERE.)

Are you thinking about participating this April? Have you ever done NaNoWriMo before?

Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll be joining me this Month!
