July Writing Goals

June has come and gone so fast. Now it’s time for Camp NaNo July 2018. We are super excited to begin and are both hoping to reach our individual writing goals by the end of the month.

During Camp NaNo, we are both working on projects we started during NaNoWriMo 2017, which is where we met. Camp NaNo is the perfect time to work on an already existing project. That's what we'll be doing this month and we encourage you to also work on a WIP (Work in Progress) this month.

A Realistic (Lazy) Guide to Plotto

If you're asking yourself what kind of foreign cuisine plotto might be, you're on the wrong blog, buddy. Plotto is a book written by William Wallace Cook, of deforesting-Canada fame. He concocted a formula for plot, wrote a book about it, and now it's super confusing to read. Don't get me wrong. You could totally read the in the front of the book instructions very thoroughly and understand what's going on. But who has that kind of time? Also, since when is following instructions any fun? Let's Mix It up a Little But before we do any mixing up, you'll need a copy of Plotto . My paperback copy was a whopping $18.95 USD I didn't have to pay because it was a birthday present. If you want a tangible book , you can definitely find it on Amazon. If you're cool with a digital copy, however, you can get it for absolutely free . Bonus: it's searchable. I definitely recommend having access to both. The first thing you'll notice once you...

What is Readercoin?

Haven’t so many of us wished to get paid to read? Readercoin seems to be the answer to those prayers. Readercoin is a new app that lets you earn its eponymous cryptocurrency by listening to and reading books. I'm so enamored with this app that I just had to share it with you all. It's perfect for someone like me, who has a demanding schedule and little time to read for pleasure. Cryptocurrency? You know, like Bitcoin, except this isn't Bitcoin. It's a currency that's generated by the time you spend reading and listening. I am not, nor do I pretend to be, an expert on how it works. I refer you to the FAQs for that. What I can tell you cryptocurrency can be exchanged for rewards like Amazon gift cards or PayPal at a usual exchange rate of 1,000 Readercoins for one US dollar. For most people, that's probably just as good as cash (and it's almost definitely the closest as you're ever going to get). You also have the option of donating your R...

What to Do When You Don't Know What to Write Next

If you're reading this because you've got a bad case of writer's block mid-project, stop reading. That post will come, but this is not that post. This is for the people who are at a total loss as to which project to begin. Or to find a project-worthy idea in the first place. Maybe you're still stuck on finding a NaNoWriMo project, or maybe you've decided to abandon your original project. Whatever the reason, it's time for a new direction. Believe it or not, you've already got the road map in front of you! If You Have a List of Ideas to Pick From This seems pretty obvious, but maybe try diving into your massive, ongoing list of ideas to pick your next project. What, you already thought of that? Your problem is selecting one? My bad. First, narrow down your ideas by the length the story idea demands. That's right, not desire, but length . You can be as head-over-heels in love with your fantasy character sketch as you want, but if they...
