Camp NovMo July 2025


Image

Hey everyone! Thank you for joining us in another Camp NovMo 2025. We hope you’re all ready to get writing again XD Alongside the one true NovMo which happens every year in November, we also run a few mini-NovMos called Camp NovMos. (NovMo is a short form for "Novel Month"). While the goal in November is to write 50,000 words, the aim of Camp NovMo is up to youː you set your own prose writing goal, and you work to achieve it.

Stepsː

1. Set your goalː do you want to write 20,000 words? Or 50,000? Do you want to revise something, or maybe plan a new novel? It's up to youǃ

2. Make your threadː make a thread to keep track of your progress in the Camp NovMo forums. Just like in NovMo, you report your daily/weekly progress in this thread and maybe share snippets if you like.

3. Visit other people's threads and spread encouragementː unless someone says "no comments please," do pop in to like people's updates, say "Great goingǃ" or "I love that snippet you sharedǃ", because it really does help motivate people.

4. When Camp NovMo starts on July 1st, start updating your threadː you can give your daily wordcount, or just mention some parts of your planning that you completed - this depends on your goal. It's up to you what you share and when!

5. Have funǃ (This part is mandatory I'm afraid)

“Best Line Written Today” coming to you on July 1st! You know the drill: drop your best line from each day you write in the thread, no context needed. (Unless you really want to spill the tea, or if context makes it even better O.o)

Yes, that's right, folks! We've got an All-Day Writing Sprint this month. This contest is a sprint that runs all day long so you can get as much writing done as possible on the given day. Get ready, details are coming soon!
