The Mystic Storyteller BackerKit campaign just launched yesterday! Every week during the month of August, I’m giving away FREE writing materials for writers who want to participate in National Novel Writing Month (November) but need a safe alternative to NaNoWriMo.
As a Substack subscriber, you will receive a sneak peek at what’s happening each week inside this exclusive writer’s camp: Camp Mystic Storyteller (Camp MST).
Don’t care about writing a novel?
I get it! Who has the time, anyway?! However… I’m willing to bet a thousand Schrute Bucks you know a writer who endeavors to pen the first draft of a story that’s been haunting them. And if I’m right, please share this post with them!
Want to participate? Here’s how...
After you make your pledge to back the Mystic Storyteller campaign, head to the Community tab and check-in to Camp MST!
In the discussion post titled Camp MST Check-In: Meet ‘n Greet & Download Your Schedule, you can download your schedule of activities happening throughout the Mystic Storyteller campaign and share a little about yourself. Who are you as a storyteller? Would you like to write the first draft of a novel by November 30?
