I can't join now since I ended up very busy with my job and other things. Wanna join again next year tho.
I'm not. Can't push myself to do so with 3 on-going comics and some other freelance work to do.
I've been slowly jabbing at my novella though!
I'm not doing writers camp this time around. I got a lot of attention in the previous camp, and I want to take time to work on my two stories that are out, as well as a special project I'm working on ^^ In the future I'd like to join again, but this time I'm sitting it out!
@amberberry same here! Studies and research thingies have been dragging me busy, I hope you good luck! 
@Penni That's very considerate of you 
and yeah people seems to get busier near the end of the year.
@spicy_sweets That's a great motivation, not sure if it work for me 
And @ar-ninetysix @Raven_C @silverraven0 @joannekwan @Pan good look in your project/ job/convention 
I keep hearing about it in the forums too and I'm not participating mostly because I can't write that good, aaand I am also quite busy working on the second chapter for my comic.
unfortunately my novel started just before the camp was announced so i couldnt submit it, but ive been working on keeping sundowns backlog big. atm i have episodes scheduled up to next year!
Well I'm mostly doing it to garner some views and attention for my work, aside from that I know I'm going to lose but at least I get a few eyes my way.
Is it true that in these times Writers Camp entry will receive more attention than say... A regular novel updated?
(So that these time is worse time to post a novel that is not NaNoWriMo/Writers Camp)
@Sketchylinez seconded this! I'm suck and my novel is getting nowhere... So I don't have confidence joining one Good luck on your project!
@stnmaren I see, good luck for next year! That's nice stategy
Yeeeaaah, I've done NaNoWriMo before and it can be a lot of fun, but I decided I'd be better off focusing on other projects this year lol. Good luck to everyone participating though!
As for me, I was really looking forward to participating in Camp because it makes me work on my writing skills, but also because I can get more readers that way than when camp isn't ongoing. Last camp I got a quite a few who always left me great comments on my entry, and that never happens for me, even if I've heard that my story is good. People just don't like to comment which I understand. I don't really comment as much either, but because fellow writers know what that feels like, they are all very encouraging. Camp is also fun (if you plan your story ahead of time lmao). I've never done Nanowrimo before and I don't really know if I would enter if I was free, but my creative writing class is already keeping me stressed out this semester, not to mention I'm preparing to fill out college applications to hopefully transfer schools next fall. I'm writing, just not anything longer than scattered short 4-10 page stories.
Good luck to anyone who is entering! And if you aren't, let's all look forward to the next one
I'm not as confident in my writing as my drawing skills, so I'll pass any writing contests.
Maybe I'll feel better about it in the future.
For now - nah.
I plan on writing 50k this month, but not on a novel. No I want to scattered the words throughout a few works, that bridge some plot things from other stories. Connecting other works to much larger arcs of the universe and so on.
right now, I'm aiming for another 3k words on A Continuum of Night. it's about a primordial night deity and this god of the hunt from another universe that destroy's the primordial's love child for the sake of a weapon to destroy pantheons of their universe.
I just want to be creative is all. I don't have any ideas for any novel length works, even my novella is on the back burner for now while I work on more short stories. I would love to find some more authors to share my work with and get feedback, but for now, I just enjoy writing. I have tried hosting stories on this site before, and get like 5 views on them, so it doesn't seem like the site for me with my writings. but I host my comics here and they do well.
Well yes and no. I just feel like I don't have the time. I work/study 60 hour weeks and this is my most difficult year. I have done it before and it's amazing . . . but my fanbase I know will not accept lower quality work. I have been curating my content a bit more and it is paying off. nanowrimo/writerscamp is not something i have time to sit and edit . . . it's a glorified first draft . . . for me anyways.
Higher quality is more time. I think the bigger creators on here are such production powerhouses that I would like with the little hobby time I have just to focus on highest production value I can deliver. I'm never going to be biggest on here, but I want to create the best that I can for the people who support me.
I am only indirectly involved, so I would not call that participating. I decided that this month, I will be proofreading for novelists who are actually competing in the camp (or just writing their books or comics during November).
I have a little side project in which I will be writing some parodies of the books that I edit. It's very Mystery Science Theater 3000, and I only do it by request of the original author. Because I am using text by other writers, I would not be eligible to compete in either NaNoWriMo nor the 3rd Writers Camp anyway.
I am thinking about publishing my side-project as a Tapas novel-series and using the hashtag. I haven't decided yet. Opinions?
I don't see why not. I think you should do it. There's no harm in posting a side project as your entry. Especially if you can get feedback on it early on.
I'm not participating in NaNo this year. I've come to the decision/realization that NaNo isn't really a good fit for me. I struggle with the quantity over quality part and it just falls in an awkward part of the year for me.
The month of November isn't really the best of times to shut off the world and become a hermit writer. Too much going on. Especially if you're in school or work in a school.
Also, that was another thing I really couldn't get on board with. The whole "ignore the rest of the world to write a novel" mentality that a lot of people have during NaNo. Again, not something I could really do since I have and always will have outside obligations.
