Thanks plague.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I know, not everything is reopened,<\/strong> and we aren\u2019t completely back to normal, but we\u2019re moving in that direction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can socialize, at least a little, and sometimes even leave the mask behind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hang in there!

We hung out in the woods; okay, it was a woody area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I lived in the city, and we took a bus to the suburbs for day camp.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>We sat on the grass,<\/strong> got stung by mosquitos and sometimes bees, ate crappy food, hung out with friends, and played great games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I say it that way the only parts I <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">really<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> miss are the friends and games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if I said you could have the best parts of camp again AND get some serious writing done?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Admit it,<\/strong> the best fun we authors have is getting words on paper and screen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time to Ramp Up Your Word Count at Camp Nano<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve probably heard of <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nanowrimo.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NaNoWriMo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s the month just before the holidays where writers addicted to word count and getting sh** done, write like the wind and finish a novel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>If you can\u2019t wait for November and you long for summer camp<\/strong>, come join us in July for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nanowrimo.org\/what-is-camp-nanowrimo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Camp NaNoWriMo<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/school.bethbarany.com\/p\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barany School of Fiction<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0will be hosting a writer\u2019s group (previously the cabins, Nano calls them groups now) called <\/span><b>Fellowship of the Pen<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on the Nano site.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will also be supporting our campers in the weekly sprints we host on Wednesday\u2019s (11amPT\/2pmET) and Sundays (10amPT\/1pmET).
