ToOWiNoWriTer Sign-Ups
Posted: Mon Nov 24, 2014 10:34 am
Hello, everybody!
Today I'm proud to announce the first event of Team Moosewood 2.0's term. This is a term-long event, called ToO-Wide Novel Writing Term(better known as ToOWiNoWriTer)
The goal of this event is to encourage creativity in the community, as well as to provide an easier alternative to NaNoWriMo. I myself know how imposing writing a 50,000 word novel can be, especially in a month(My best is currently 30,000 in 6 months
)
Participants of this event will set a word count goal for themselves to complete by the end of Moosewood 2.0's term(approximately two months). This goal can be anything 5,000 words and up. If you complete your goal within the allotted time, you will win a ToO cash prize!
Now, here's a quick breakdown of the rules:
1. Plagiarism: Quite obviously, no copying of any work will be tolerated.
2. Weekly Updates: You must send weekly updates on your writing to Knight Fisher and myself, by either private message or email([email protected]). Tell us your progress, if any, and include a copy of your work for that week.
3. Have Fun! And finally, remember to enjoy yourself. Don't get too caught up in making your goal that you get stressed, because your story will likely suffer from it. Pace yourself, and produce a good story. Because in the end, that's what counts, not the number of words in it.
Now, due to some concerns raised in our Campaign HQ, we've made some changes to the prize system. Instead of judging contestants' work, prizes will be distributed based on goals met.
So join us for the very first ToO-Wide Novel Writing Term!
