Anyone else doing Camp NaNoWriMo/JulNoWriMo?

[ljwrites]

I was originally going to write my first draft in August as discussed with sarillia, but I had a change of plans when I learned my best friend whom I plan to vacation with can only get vacation time in the last week of August. Besides, July makes a lot of sense for me. It's when everyone else (including my boss) is on vacation, meaning things will be slow at work, and it will leave me August to recover and prepare for next semester. It's not ideal, but no month is going to be ideal.

Is anyone else doing this in July, or thinking of doing so? It would be great to have someone to commiserate/compete with. :)

Update: I've created a private comm, go_nano, for off-site chatter between participants. Ask by comment or PM, and ye shall be invited.

I'm doing Camp NaNo in July. 50K goal, even though I am working full-time and very nearly studying full-time, because I want this damn novel out of my head.

Ouch, that's like three full loads you've got on your back. I get what you're saying about needing to get it out of your head, though, if only to get on with the rest of your life. I am reminded of this Churchill quote.

I've sent you an invite to a private comm for chatter between Camp participants, feel free to join if you'd like a separate place to vent. :)
