After a 50,000-word push in November, Steamboat's writers said give us s'more!

Welcome to Camp NaNoWriMo, Steamboat's idyllic July writer's retreat, smack-dab in the middle of your crazy life.

• Set a goal, then complete a month-long writing project.
• Track your progress with Camp NaNoWriMo’s cool online tools.
• Rally with the support of your fellow Steamboat campers.
• Free, and 100% fun!

In November, the Library sponsors National Novel Writer’s Month (a.k.a. NaNoWriMo), which focuses in on churning out a 50,000-word novel. Camp NaNoWriMo is a more casual virtual writer’s retreat designed for summer, giving you maximum flexibility and creativity. Set your own word-count goals between 30 and 1,000,000 words, then tackle any project you’d like to camp out and pursue. Start a new novel or tackle a revision. Write poetry, essays, personal genealogy tales, memoir, scripts or short stories. Let your creative writing juices run wild at Camp NaNoWriMo!

Come to our Camp Orientation on the Library’s second floor Reading Deck for more info about all our cool Campouts for Creation (known in the cold November NaNoWriMo months as Write-ins), getting signed up, picking your project, joining a Writing Cabin for extra virtual support, and more.
