Join Our #InstaWrimo Instagram Challenge This March!

The month of March is almost upon us, which means that Camp NaNoWriMo will be here soon!

If you’ve never participated in Camp before, it’s an online writing retreat that we run every April and July. It’s kind of like November’s rebellious little sister: you can set your own goal, work on any kind of writing project (it doesn’t have to be a novel), and join a cabin to chat and write with other Wrimos.

This March, we’d like to get the awesome NaNoWriMo community excited about Camp by taking part in a month-long Instagram challenge hosted by us. All you need to join in is an Instagram account.

Follow @NaNoWriMo on Instagram.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words (and you know we’re always keeping an eye on that word count), so we’ve come up with 31 photo prompts listed in the graphic above to get you thinking about your writing habits and the tools in your creative backpack for the month of March. We’ll post the full challenge prompt on Instagram, but it will also be available in this post if you need to refer back to it.
Much like Camp NaNoWriMo itself, there aren’t any strict rules. These prompts are just suggestions—you don’t have to be literal, though if you want to take these prompts very literally, that can result in some fun pictures, too. You can post a photo for each of the prompts, or choose just a few. You can post one every day, or all at once. Again, much like Camp, the most important part is having fun.
Make sure to tag any posts with the #InstaWrimo hashtag so we can find them! We’ll pick photos from the challenge to feature on our own Instagram account throughout the month. This will be a fun way to think about your writing projects and get back into the swing of things: Where do you like to write? Who do you like to write with? What makes you happy about your writing?
Use your imagination, get creative, and get ready to write! (Image text detailed below)
