Have You Joined Our Regional Year Round Sockmonkey Writer Discord Server?

 (The above image is the YouTube Thumbnail for a video on our regional YouTube Channel. It has a light blue green background with a white stripe across the middle that reads: NaNoPierceCo SockmonkeyWriters Discord Server Introduction. The NaNoWriMo logo and our Regional Mascots Polly Esther Socks and Pierson are in opposite corners on the bottom.)

Hello again, Sockmonkeys!

I introduced this video in a few of my NaNoMail messages and forum posts, as well as in a few of our social media groups, last November, but I realized it might be easier for everyone to access if I put it in a post of its own here on our blog. It will help you make your way through the initial rules and channel verification questions that are set up to help keep spammers and troublemakers out. You will only need to go through these steps once in order to have access and be able to take part in various chats and write-ins that are held on our Discord server. If you have questions or problems as you're going through the process, there is a hey-mods channel you can post in at any point to get help or you can send an email to pcsockmonkeywriters @ gmail.com (without the spaces) and I'll do what I can to help you past whatever might have happened.

Every Tuesday this April, I will be hosting a 2 hour Pomodoro style write in on our Discord server, which you will be able to participate in if you join the server.

Also, tonight, April 5th, is a special event:

We have been invited to a cross-region write-in hosted by one of the Municipal Liaisons in the Los Angeles region. They will hold it on their Discord server, which you can get an invitation to from the event on our Google Calendar, our NaNo Regional Events calendar, or inside our Discord server. There is a similar verification process to access their server, so you'll want to sign up before the event, although you are not required to join their server and can take part in the bot run word wars from our server as well (you just won't be able to chat with them between writing sessions).

Discord will run on both your computer and on mobile devices.

I hope the video helps you access our server and that you'll decide to join us there for chat and write-ins when your schedule allows.

Happy writing!
