Barrett Laurie | 1st Week Camp NaNo SUCCESS! | Also why school board elections/book banning is an AuthorTube issue. @BarrettLaurie | Uploaded April 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
This week I'm taking you behind the scenes of my first week of Camp NaNoWriMo 2022! April Camp NaNo is always a fun time of year for me. I find the spring great for creativity.
Also this week I am going to be talking a bit about voting in municipal elections. Book banning is becoming a thing and therefore as a gay author I feel I need to sound the alarm. Mostly to remind everyone here that this is an AuthorTube community issue. Book banning of marginalized communities is a tried and true path to fascism, so we must have the courage of conviction to speak up for ourselves. And at a bare minimum ask friends to support us at the ballot box to send a message.
