Moody Monday I

🌹Hello Campers! Here are the responses we got for our first activity for camp NaNoWriMo. Thank you everyone who participated, if you still wanted to submit a response please do so- it's never too late to join in one of our activities. If you're not part of the club and still want to answer these questions, then reblog this post with your answers.

🌹Also huge thank you to @caveatscriptor for creating the graphic

🌹 Member responses below the cut:

🌹 @jay-avian

1. Honestly, a little bit of both. I do a general outline of the main plot, as well as any worldbuilding needed. And once I start writing, I let the pacing flow naturally and the characters flesh themselves out 2. Current WIP - "The Court Magician": Forest man on house arrest must save the world from the fae 3. (not sure, will come back) 4. Fantasy, Adventure 5. Reluctant Chosen One

🌹 @mayonayys

1. I'm definitely a planner! I enjoy a bit of chaos, but need structure for most things, and that includes writing. An example of my most extreme planner moment: I was writing up fake advertisements for my in world D&D newspaper, had to give the businesses addresses... So I stopped halfway through and had to plan out most of a market district map, which will probably never be used again 2. Aura Sighted: Gifted-kid burnout syndrome mage has to figure out how to save her sister from a psychotic King, while staying out of the way of the Prince with daddy issues. 3. Keywords: (I'll come back to this one) 4. Genres: Fantasy, Action/Adventure, Eventual Romance 5. Favorite Tropes: Found Family, Eventual Idiots to Lovers, with a hint of Enemies to Lovers Bonus: My Camp goal this year is just to get some writing done; shooting for 15k words!

🌹 @becausethecat

1. Planning: Generally it depends. I don’t outline Fic usually, or random ideas that just jump out, but I do like having vague-to-solid roadmap on other ideas 2. WIP that i think I’m gonna try to do: A pirate loses his ship and crew to his creditors and makes a drastic attempt to pay them off by promising to produce a rare magical artifact—a weather violin that specifically calls moody weather when played—and he isn’t prepared for his quest to dump him on a small island, inhabited by one other person; the violinist who found his treasure first. 3. Key Words: Broody Boi, Dislike to Love (think animated Anastasia/Dimitri), reformed pickpocket, identity, violin + The sound of rain on a tin roof while a sad viloin plays, deserted island, survival, persons of debatable charm, BLORBOS 4. Genre is uhhhh.... Pirate Captain on a deserted island with a Moody Violinist ..... idk if it will be humor or romance or survival but it’s def Fantasy with Magic and whatnot 5. Tropes: Pirate on Deserted Island, Survival, is Learning to Communicate Effectively a trope? And uhhhh I’m not sure how the Only One Bed will turn out that’s the one I pulled out of a hat (what quantifies Idiots to Lovers bc they might be that too)

🌹 @fanged-writer

1. former pantser, trying to plan now. don't think my previous method was working for me, so I'll see how this goes! 2. sentence: an average human is suddenly gifted 'divine' knowledge, transporting them from one dismal situation to another. 3. will need to figure these key words out, i think. 'wasps, red, gods, superstition, summer'. 4. not too sure, but got some fantasy in there... 5. rivals and rivals and more rivals. also deceit.

🌹 @inkspellangel

1. A little of both. I plan a bit and then hope I don't pants my way too far away from that vague outline :'D 2. SSP: Grumpy punk with wolf companion has to arrest his childhood friend because of reasons he can't believe. 3. Keywords: Mad scientist, childhood friends to lovers, grumpy/sunshine friend dynamic, cave system, more vibes than plot at this point 4. Subterranean sci-fi, I think 5. 100% sunshine/grumpy friends

🌹 @fleurtygurl

1. I think I lean more towards a pantser. Ideas come to me as I write that I would never have thought of in the planning stages of my wip. But I'm doing my best to find a way to give myself more structure. 2. Filipina in San Francisco meets cyborg private investigator, and they solve some murders. 3. Keywords: tomboy, trauma, sapphic, straight people being friends, siblings-centered 4. Sci-fi and mystery? ( i know there are technical differences between mystery and thriller, but i dont want to try and think about it.) 5. my favorite dynamic? Close sisters who can depend on one another

Hello Campers!

It's July, which means camp Camp NaNoWriMo has officially started. If you're looking for fun and relaxing activities to boost your creativity than come join us in our writing adventure.

We have activities planned for every day this month excluding Tuesdays and Thursdays. Some will be writing prompts/sprints, and others will be more artistic like moodboards. If that sounds interesting then please join our server and follow our tumblr posts to see what activities we are doing each day!

If you're not part of the club already and are interested in writing with us, then check out our info post about our discord server here.

What is Camp NaNoWriMo?

Camp NaNoWriMo is the more laidback version of the November challenge: NaNoWriMo. So instead of shooting for 50k words, you can set whatever word count you want. If you're not into a word count goal that's okay too. You can set any kind of writing goal e.g. writing for ten minutes each day, edit a certain number of pages by the end of the month and so on. The main thing is to get you in the mood to work on your stories.

Club Update on the Past Few Months

Hello everyone! I wanted to explain why the club has been inactive for the past couple of months. It all comes down to me (Fleurty), @caveatscriptor, and @biron-ore going through some very heavy personal things, which has taken a toll on our capacity for club activities.

With this in mind I'm reaching out to see if anyone is interested in applying to be a mod, or wants to join our club to help boost activities. I can only speak for myself, but everyone has been so kind, supportitive, and insightful when it comes to our reading and writing adventures. You can find the links below with information about our club, and our mod application.

Post about our club can be found here. Post about our mod application can be found here.

In the meantime, the three of us will be regaining our strength, and hopefully create future activities soon!

A reblog is appreciated, but not required. Thank you everyone who has been part of this adventure!

Little Red Writing Hoods Book / Writing Club!! 🌹

For anyone coming across this post and wanting to learn more about the club's discord server read below!! 🌹

Here is a list of what our server does / offers:

Book of the Month (BoM) 🌹

We choose a book to read as a community, the books come from our book list, so if you have a book recommendation please let us know! After two weeks of announcing the BoM, we open up a forum page for everyone to share their thoughts. Disclaimer: BoM is not always monthly based since if everyone wanted to read for example Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, everyone would need more time to read (since it's so long!)

Prompt of the Month (PoM) 🌹

Every month, a writing prompt is chosen for members to practice their writing skills. The PoM is usually done in the first weekly video call meetings. BUT members who don't want to / don't have the time to join these weekly meetings are more than welcome to do the PoM on their own time!

Weekly Meetings 🌹

Every Sunday (18:30 GMT or 10:30PT) we have a video call on our server to do a writing challenge! Writing challenges are meant to be fast. After the prompt is picked, we give ten minutes for everyone to brainstorm their individual stories, and then give everyone thirty minutes to write their stories. Then we post it! If you want to see our members' posts, check out @littleredwritinghoodsclub where we reblog those willing to post their hard work. (We also use the tag #little red writing hoods)

WIP Forums 🌹

If you want feedback on your personal WIP, you can post it on our WIP forum page and other members can read your work. You can also use this place to brainstorm a future story idea. Members are not allowed to repost, plagiarise, and/or steal other members' work.

Fandom Chats 🌹

Misc. topics outside of reading and writing.

To keep the server manageable, our server will cap at 50 members!!

This club is here for YOU! To make YOU a better writer! To make YOU have a safe place to talk about books! Do what feels best and be sure to keep your mental health limits in mind.

Important Announcement!!

Hello everyone, I (Fleurty) have a very big announcement! We have decided to ask if anyone is interested in becoming a moderator for the server.

Why now?

The past two months I have been struggling to make announcements, ping people for events, create polls, host events, and so on. I realized that I can't do it all on my own, and would appreciate some extra help. My lovely support team @caveatscriptor and @biron-ore have been amazing! But they too live very busy lives and I don't expect them to run this club 24/7. So it's only fair for them to have some support as well.

Main Responsibilities will include...

Making announcements for events.

Pinging the "Sunday goals" role if no one has done so for the day.

Hosting and creating events (could either be writing/reading related or something relaxing such as movie nights).

Additional thoughts

I'm very open to new ideas in making the server better and more active. I think it has been very chill behind the scenes, and am open to any member who wants to suggest an idea for the community. Lastly, I wanted to say I know this is a huge request, so please don't feel obligated to help out if you can't. I love this club, and I love the community we have built. And wanted to give a big thank you to everyone who has been part of this amazing journey.

Interested in applying? Read below the cut.

🌹March's book has been officially decided!

We will be reading: I'm Glad my Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

Synopsis taken by Goodreads 🌹

In I’m Glad My Mom Died , Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail—just as she chronicles what happens when the dream finally comes true. Cast in a new Nickelodeon series called iCarly , she is thrust into fame. Though Mom is ecstatic, emailing fan club moderators and getting on a first-name basis with the paparazzi (“Hi Gale!”), Jennette is riddled with anxiety, shame, and self-loathing, which manifest into eating disorders, addiction, and a series of unhealthy relationships. These issues only get worse when, soon after taking the lead in the iCarly spinoff Sam & Cat alongside Ariana Grande, her mother dies of cancer. Finally, after discovering therapy and quitting acting, Jennette embarks on recovery and decides for the first time in her life what she really wants.

Happy Reading Everyone!!
