NaNo HQ’s Creative Half-Day
NaNoWriMo is all about unleashing your creative potential. Here at NaNo HQ, we always try to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. We understand that sometimes replenishing your writer fuel is necessary to continue working on creative projects–and that being held accountable for what you want to accomplish is never a bad thing.
To that end, the staff took a Creative Half-Day last month to create some intentional time around pursuing our interests outside the office, so we could harness some of that creative energy and bring it back to NaNoWriMo.
The rules?
1. We held each other accountable.
We stated our intentions in the morning, and had to bring something in for show-and-tell the next day. It’s hard to back out on your projects when you know others are expecting to see what you’ve accomplished.
2. No computers.
On Donation Day 2012, the NaNoWriMo staff promised to recreate a classic music video if we reached our fundraising goal. We asked all of our donors to vote on which video we should tackle.
You chose wisely.
A gigantic thank you to all of you: participants, winners, writers, donors and supporters. Noveling in desperate ways wouldn’t be the same without you.
Tell us about your most desperate writing moments of November 2012!
