July 2016
Well, the zombies have taken over.
They have? I didn't even notice...
Which means we can talk a bit about...
I suppose NaNoWriMo and more recently their "camp" events are something of a tradition of mine- generally failing them. But I faithfully sign up and write at least a few thousand words, all through college. I've done probably four or five years, at this point, most of those as a "rebel" working on a story I had already started or writing with buddies.
Traditions
Zombies are a July tradition here at Wriye. Do you have a writing tradition of your own?I suppose NaNoWriMo and more recently their "camp" events are something of a tradition of mine- generally failing them. But I faithfully sign up and write at least a few thousand words, all through college. I've done probably four or five years, at this point, most of those as a "rebel" working on a story I had already started or writing with buddies.
Hurrah for rebelling!How did it come about?
A friend of my sister's mentioned it to us my junior year of high school. We told her that she was crazy, and we did not have time. Then we started writing anyway, but did not actually sign up as neither of us had reliable computer access. That first year, we wrote by hand, usually on the bus on our way to sports practice or in the car on our way to other classes. I think I only made about 5k that year, but NaNo had caught me. I did several events during both undergrad and graduate school, even if I only won once and had to count all of my college papers in my rebelling- at least I had motivation for actually doing my homework!
