I'm toying with the idea of doing Camp NaNoWriMo this year. It starts in July. For those unfamiliar, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month which is in November. The delightful and crazy people who sign up for this try to write a novel or 50,000 words in a month. I've tried it a few times, but, as a teacher, it's very hard to find that kind of free time during the school year, especially now that I'm a Mom as well. So, I've never finished.
Camp NaNoWriMo is a more laid back version that runs during the Summer. The guidelines and goals are more flexible. Some people run it just like the standard November type, some write short stories, some revise previous work. It's really all up for grabs. The trick, as always, is starting out on day 1 with an idea of what your doing. Right now, I have no idea. But I have two weeks to figure that out.
I think I'll give it a try. July will be a busy month, but what month isn't busy?
