TaliaDelune I've never tried script writing before, but I'm starting to think I ought to. It seems like it could be a fresh change of perspective. I already know, like you, I'd prefer good old prose though. You know writing a script for a novel already being worked on could really help someone with writer's block... Sorry for the late reply. Yes doing that can be incredibly helpful. And I know that at least with the April Camp NaNo there was the option to set the genre to Script. I do not know if they will retain the option for July, but they have had the option to choose your own for all the events recently, so you can always type it in. Quote: It probably would, just because the handicap nanowrimo has with the word count. Still it'd be a fun think to advertise for poet users in the guild who have never done it. Is it strictly for one month? If so we could make or own camp version ^_^ 2pound idk all i know is i write a poem per day for 1 month and that's it. nano has word limit so i can see how that's a huge handicap. I would like to pipe in here. There is no word limit for NaNoWriMo, there is only what a person can write within the span of 720 hours. The 50k (or for Camp the choose-your-own-goal-min-10k) is a goal to be reached and always allowed to be exceeded. Also how would the word limit (if there was one) be a handicap? I have been trying and failing to come up with one, but you both see one.

TaliaDelune We only meant in comparison to napowrimo. In some cases a poem a day for 30 days would be easier to achieve. Ah I see it now. Yes I can see how that could be easier to do.

TaliaDelune I think it'd be really fun to host our own napowrimo in July to go along with camp nanowrimo. We could do a team vs team thing, a friendly competition doesn't hurt, in fact it helps with motivation it most cases. You'd obviously be able to churn out 50k no problem though^_^ That would be fun. And I would be excited to see if doing so would increase the percentage of winners. And probably, although there is always the possibility that I do not.

I am one of those people that do set other goals beyond the 50k, because for me, 50k is not a challenge. I have yet to not reach it. Yes there is never a limit to NaNo, although I think there is one built into the system. But that is just the site's ability to record the data, it does not stop you from going higher. That seems almost like NaPoMo would have a severe handicap if you have to write one poem a day. You miss one day and you have not met the goal. NaNo if you miss one day, or only get a bit done, you just write more the next (or the one after that, or you know three days before it ends if you want crunch time).
