It's camp time :D

So apparently I signed up for Camp Nanowrimo literally at the last minute, meaning yesterday :) I'm kinda excited, I've never done anything like this and even though I only set myself a goal of 20k, that's still twice as much as I've ever written in a month! Does one of my lovely flisters have any experience with Nanowrimo and some tips for me?

I'm writing this awesome Brothers'verse fic idea that my friend soncnica prompted me with when I visited her last month after we watched both Bourne and Avengers :)
Here's the synopsis: Clint thought his younger brother was a figment of his imagination,when luck and the secret government agency he works for reunites them. Their first field mission together proves to be a test of faith - in each other and the people they work for. Can they make it out alive?

Oh, and if anyone knows anything about blood diamonds or West Africa and would love to share their knowledge with me... I'm all ears :D

Follow whatever rules you find but remember the most important one... HAVE FUN! Revel in the fact that you have to write EVERY DAY and that there's incredible stress to keep up the word count AND to beat anyone else's word count just because you can. Take chances with your story that you might not any other month of the year. Be open to writing a few thousand words only to find out that they don't work. Don't throw them away because all words work and you never know when you may be able to use that particular scene.

And I said have fun, remember? If you aren't having fun, you aren't at the right camp! *grins*

Thanks for the tips, I'll be sure to heed them :) It's really hard for me to turn off my inner editor, as that's just the way I'm wired at the moment, but I'm having fun with this :D

And I think I'm at the right camp! Chocolate and marshmallows be damned, I'm writing and having fun :D

(And I love your icon *g*)
