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 am! :) November is always one of the busiest months for me, so since the chances are high I won't be able to do the regular NaNo this year, I want to at least get Camp in.

(Edit: Btw, there's NaNo in August this year? Or did you mean just writing in general and not necessarily NaNo.)

Like graychalk, I'm also doing Camp NaNo this July. I'm in the same cabin as her. :) I have a very modest word count goal, though.

I'm definitely in if we decide to create something off the Camp site!

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.
