This year for Hallowe'en I decided to dress up as a camper at Camp NaNoWriMo.
November is almost upon us, and that can only mean one thing: It's time for Camp
NaNoWriMo! Come join
Princess Kendal (wonder dog) and me on this idyllic writers' retreat, right in the middle of your life.
Make sure you come prepared with all of the supplies you will need for camp:
Note the emergency survival kit I am displaying with my right thumb. This handy tool serves as both security blanket and emergency communications device. No camper should be without one! (Click on the photograph above to be transported to Flickr where you can view the image with notes explaining other important camp gear.)
There is little time for quiet contemplation during Camp. That is why I am taking this moment around my Hallowe'en bonfire to consult my camp handbook while I slowly cook plot ideas over the fire. Note the camp beverages perched on the edge of the fire pit.
The favourite sport of Camp NaNoWriMo campers is, of course, writing!
The other Camp sport:
Drinking horrible, teeth-rotting syrup laced with copious quantities of taurine, ginseng and caffeine.
Camp battle cry:
When the going gets tough, the tough drink two-fisted.
For those less attuned to the great outdoors, there's always our luxury cabins:
Luxury cabins come equipped with heat and electricity.
Here's to another great NaNo.
Best of luck to everyone!
