@PaigeEtheridge1 @NaNoWriMo And I know someone who builds characters and their houses out in SIMS. Seems to really work for that!

[Jen Breach @jenbreach]

@PaigeEtheridge1 @NaNoWriMo I am all about open world rn, since my novel is a fantasy road trip. Witcher III is my best and greatest influence. (It's also a complete joy, and that helps!) #CampNaNoAdvice

@robinmsf I love it! I want to meet Maricela. And her groove.

[Jen Breach @jenbreach]

@NaNoWriMo @nicoleglower @KristinaForest @MichelleRKeil I salute every single one of you for engaging with this event and community and your project and your own writing process. Keep it up. It’s worth it and so are you. #CampNaNoAdvice

[Jen Breach @jenbreach]

@KristinaForest This is the truth.

[Jen Breach @jenbreach]

@books_n_peace @NaNoWriMo @nicoleglower @KristinaForest @MichelleRKeil And you too!

[Jen Breach @jenbreach]

@vanawillemiel @sushimustwrite @NaNoWriMo @TheJamesWhitman I want a world in which you are safe, happy and writing the things that only you can. And reading those romances day and night.

[Jen Breach @jenbreach]

@NaNoWriMo @nicoleglower @KristinaForest @MichelleRKeil A genuine pleasure, you awesome writers you all.

[Jen Breach @jenbreach]

@sushimustwrite @vanawillemiel @NaNoWriMo @TheJamesWhitman haha! It's a perfect trap.

[Jen Breach @jenbreach]

@MichelleRKeil I basically watch any youtube made for cats.

[Jen Breach @jenbreach]

@NaNoWriMo @TheJamesWhitman @vanawillemiel This is perfection. I am so behind it. I also love turning the show off at night one episode before I'm ready too and reading for 20/45 minutes instead. #CampNaNoAdvice

[Jen Breach @jenbreach]

@NaNoWriMo Now and always. I hope this is an enduring realization from this awful, difficult time. You ARE the writing you do, and that writing is YOU, take care of both.

[NaNoWriMo @NaNoWriMo]

One thing that's striking about our (wonderful!) conversation today is how little of it has been about our stories, and how much of it has been about our emotional wellbeing. You can't detach writing from the writer, and it's okay to focus on the writer right now. #CampNaNoAdvice

[Jen Breach @jenbreach]

@CrescentSays @KristinaForest @NaNoWriMo You should be. You're doing it. I salute you.

[Jen Breach @jenbreach]

@robinmsf Be frivolous. Be playful. If it's only a placeholder name, what's the silliest name that you could give it, to make you giggle at least a little?

[Jen Breach @jenbreach]

@PaigeEtheridge1 @NaNoWriMo I also subscribe to the idea that videogames help with my writing. There's something about the immersion, the plot twists, the side and main quests. The world building! This is legit research.

[Jen Breach @jenbreach]

@MichelleRKeil Agreeeeed! I have a playlist for five minute dance parties to get me out of my head, and a play list for when my butt is in the chair (Either intense beats or bird song/thunderstorms). What about you?

[Jen Breach @jenbreach]

@sushimustwrite @NaNoWriMo I mostly love it for reflection -- I love setting a goal, but I am not super attached to necessarily completing them (never won an NaNoWriMo here!) I just like checking in on what I thought I could do and what I ACTUALLY could do. #CampNaNoAdvice

[Jen Breach @jenbreach]

@NaNoWriMo Greeeeeat question. Complicated answer: my day-job industry pretty much tanked in the pandemic and I've been out of work for a year. I have loved the freedom to write every day in the pandemic, but I am so uncertain about what will happen after...

[Jen Breach @jenbreach]

@NaNoWriMo @books_n_peace I'm in an MFA program and one of my classmates is writing a critical thesis on the value of procrastination. This article nails it. #CampNaNoAdvice
