Howdy Everyone! Long time, no chat. Hope the past half a year has been absolutely fabulous for you! And if not, well, I think Camp should cheer you up! That’s Camp NaNoWriMo, of course.

You can sign up for Camp NaNoWriMo at http://campnanowrimo.org using your regular … Continue reading

Hi there wrimos! It’s Hype again, back with another update about more of our fabulous fall festivities! Namely, our kickoffs! This time with more alliteration and less typos hopefully. As we’ve mentioned in a few of our blog posts and emails, NaNoLanta is partnering with the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company (ARTC) for the 2011-2012 season.

We’ve just confirmed that this year we’re going to war yet again during November. -We’re battling Seattle in a rematch from last year. Highest average wordcount and highest average donations. -And for the first time, we’re going after Toronto. We’re battling for highest total wordcount and highest total donations.

You can enter in your word … Continue reading
