Camp NaNoWriMo

You get nothing but the satisfaction of knowing you completed the challenge of writing 50,000 words in one month (there are a few offers from the site you can take advantage of, though).

You keep your novel to do whatever you want with it. No one at NaNo reads it.

No comments and ratings.

It's a fun challenge.

Oh....okay. That was enlightening :)

It's like a congregation of cheerleaders and motivators to help you finish your novel. Sounds good and maybe I should try it the next time it is hosted.
 
Since I can't PM, I'll ask it here.

Okay, so my question is:

Where does my 50k or so novel go after I complete it?

What do I get out of it? I mean to ask if I'd get the comments and ratings and votings like Lit or not.

Lynn said it. Although there has been some limited reading of each other's efforts and feedback, but not a lot. It's not even expected that you'll have a polished product at the end of the month. But you do have whatever number of words your goal was, more or less.
The camaraderie is really fun.
 
My goal was 50 k. On July 4 my headache started. I finally cut myself some slack and reduced my goal to 30 k last week. Right now I have 25014 and a pretty good story for summer lovin.

Today I woke up pain free for the first time since the 4th of july. I wonder if I can do 4986 words today? It feels good to feel good. :)

Looks like I've missed all the fun...but I'll keep this in mind next time it's organized.
 
Despite the cool concept, it's one of the worst names ever though. Sounds like the lyrics from a Cherokee rain dance or something... :rolleyes:

Being the brain child of a bunch of writers one would think they could have come up with something more imaginative.

You should hear my six year old (who has recently developed a stutter) try to remember what it's called. :rolleyes:
 
It's been fun folks! Huge thanks to pl for encouraging me to join the cabin, and especially to Aynmair for reading and offering her wonderful suggestions and editing ideas. You all rock, but those two ladies get a little extra kudos.

It's hard for me to believe I actually wrote a novel, even though it's a short one. I certainly still have work to do on it, but the hard part is done now!
 
Even though I didn't get a lot of writing done, I still had a marvelous time in the Cabin! Thanks to everyone who participated! :rose:
