It’s almost that time of year again … that’s right ladies and gentlemen Camp NaNoWriMo July 2016 is just around the corner (Yes, I know it’s two weeks away)! For those who don’t know me well, I’m a huge believer in the work that NaNoWriMo does to promote creativity and writing throughout the year to people of all ages. This will be my third NaNo event in the last year, and I’m going for the triple crown in wins.

Last time I wrote 75,000 words of Golden Opportunity and this time I’m hoping to write 75,000 words of book two in the Custodian of the Golden Assembly series, Golden Seas. Also like last time, I am including the link for donations to the parent organization of NaNoWriMo, this is the only time I will post the link because I hate when people jam feeds with requests for money. My goal is $300 to match the money I have already donated. I have posted a few rewards and if you’re interested that would be awesome. If you’re not interested, I’m okay with that too. I truly believe that everyone should try to complete NaNo at least one time in their life to have a better understanding of how difficult writing can be.

On a completely unrelated note, I’ve been considering starting a forum or Facebook group to connect writers with beta readers or swap partners and to help new betas and authors understand how the process works. I’d love some input from you guys to see if you think it’s worth it or a total waste of time. Send me a comment and let me know what you think.

I look forward to seeing you all there, be sure to drop me a line and say hi. I love meeting new people and would really enjoy knowing that I have a little cheering section of my own. My name on the Camp NaNoWriMo forums is beansidhe1968 and I really hope to see you all there.

Just like Siobhan Flannery, she is addicted to watching television shows like "Supernatural" and blames the show for invading her brain to the point that she had to put it in her book.

  1. I am writing poetry at 10,000 words for Camp NaNoWriMo and celebrating my birthday July 11. I have a cabin called Cabin Enigma. Do you have a cabin yet? I would like to be NaNo writing buddies with you.

    1. I already have a full cabin this camp, but if you’re planning on doing NaNoWriMo in November I’ll be there as well. Feel free to add me as a buddy my name is Beansidhe1968.

            1. Thanks, I really appreciate it. I’ll be doing a cover reveal for golden opportunity on the blog and all my social media during the second week of August.
