NaNoWriMo Stuff
Still trying to get my brain organized, so this might be earlier than last year, but this in a nutshell is what we'll be doing for November. It'll be great, fantastic, and fun!
How it works
How the teams work is we have three teams: Team Calliope, Team Clio and Team Erato. The teams compete with each other during NaNoWriMo. The winning team is the team with the highest percentage of people who reach 50,000 words (since that is the goal of NaNoWriMo). The teams will also compete in word wars for prizes and goodies. A lot of people have found that being on a team helps motivate them to reach that 50,000 word goal.
Do you have to be on a team? Well, no. There are some people who prefer not to be on a team and that's okay as well. I plan to have some individual contests as well.
Sponsors
I am also looking for sponsors! If you have a prize to donate, or have a service to offer, then email me at dobbin477@aol.com. Prizes can include gift certificates, icons, clothing, a critique of a novel. We've had some great prizes in the past like free paid livejournal for one year, jewelry, and books as well.
Final Words
The sign-up page will be up near the end of the month or the beginning of October. It should be a great run this year!
Also if you were on a team last year, you will be on the same team (that's if you want to), but you still have to sign-up when the page comes up.
