Word Crawl?

So, if you’ve been hanging around the NaNoWriMo world recently, you have more than likely discovered mention of a “Word Crawl”.

What is a word crawl, you ask?

A word crawl is a very neat thing. It takes something you either need to do, or are a fan of, and gives you writing challenges in that theme. The most popular ones are Harry Potter ones this year, though I myself wrote a star trek one.

Word crawls tend to net an average of 2k to 3k words for the participant, and they seem to be great fun for the participants.

I am currently working my way through the Harry Potter Year One crawl, and I’m having a lot of fun doing it. {LINK for those interested, only valid until the 2016 forum wipe} I’ve already added 2.2k to my word count while doing it, and I’m not even to the school yet in the challenge.

I’ll probably do my own crawl, the Star Trek one, later. I’ve got lots of trekkie friends, and they seem to like it.

 

Enjoy your NaNoWriMo, I know I am.

So… Hi March, bye March, Hullo April…

Why am I not all the surprised that I fell off the planet for the month of march?

Long slightly ramble-y post will be long and ramble-y.

For one, Spock passed away the day after my last post. It took me a week to process that. And, at the same time, a friend gave me something new to fangirl over, and I pretty much spent the month of march being a dorky fangirl, while managing to score a couple of weeks worth of decent hours.

So I’ve tagged a few things on this post and I’ll make sure if you just want to read about one thing, you’ll be able to find it with ease. (Look for it in orange. You’ll find it.)
