Calling all Cadets! The NaNoWriMo Bootcamp is now LIVE!

, , , , , 3

With some elbow grease and a few online tutorials, I managed to make a forum for the NaNoWriMo Bootcamp. Hooray! Better yet, the forum is now LIVE, and you can get to it by clicking here or by hovering your mouse over the Extras tab on my main menu (assuming you’re on my website right now and not reading this in an email or RSS feed).

First off: I want to thank the beautiful Sorcha M., who DESIGNED and CRAFTED our official NaNoWriMo Bootcamp BADGE.

It looks awesome, doesn’t it? And there is also a special badge for the CADETS in the forum. Check it out; all the logos are baller.

Second off: Below, I have listed the current broad topics/forums that have been established so far. Feel free to email me if you have suggestions for other topics/forums. Of course, there are  more specific breakdowns within some of the forums listed below, so please check that a topic doesn’t already exist before you email me.

  • Inspiration and Advice

Thirdly (and probably the most important information): how do you participate? Well, it’s easy. First, you’ll have to register for the forum. On the right side of the forums (in the narrow sidebar), you’ll see something that says “Log In / Register” (it looks like the graphic to the right here). Simply click on the link that says “Register.” Or you can click here to get to the same registration page.

(Sorry about the math captcha, but I want to keep the spambots out of our bootcamp!)

Now before you register, be sure to take a look at these Forum Guidelines–just to make sure you’re okay with them before you sign on. I have a ton of wonderful moderators who can and WILL delete any threads that go against the current guidelines.

Forum Guidelines

• Be respectful and professional. Any offensive posts, links, images, etc. will be deleted.
• No flaming, trolling, and overall spamming (this includes but is not limited to cross-posting and too much self promotion).
• Please stay on topic in the designated threads.

Finally, just as an FYI, I’ll be sharing ~2 posts per week between now until the end of NaNoWriMo 2013. The posts will cover topics such as outlining, finding a writing routine, my favorite writing books, and more. So stay tuned!

Now go! Register! Start chatting in the forums!

And thank you SO MUCH to all 100+ of you who showed an interested in this. I AM SO EXCITED, GUYS. NaNoWriMo 2013 won’t know what hit it.
