I just got this great news from NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). I participated in it last November, and many of you did as well.
Here is an e-mail I got this morning (I'm so excited!)
"Greetings, Wrimos!
If you're holding hot coffee, I'd recommend you put it down. If you're standing, please sit.
I have potentially explosive news: we're launching Camp NaNoWriMo this summer! As in, mere months from this very moment!
Some of you may be wondering, "What is this camp you speak of? Will there be mosquitoes?"
This camp-themed version of National Novel Writing Month enables participants to write a novel in a month other than November. You bring the words and we'll meet you there with the encouragement, tracking tools, and a tent!
For everyone who has ever wanted to do NaNo multiple times a year—or for those who simply can't make a November novel work—welcome to Camp NaNoWriMo! The plot bunnies will frolic, the sun will warm your half-baked plot, and yes... there will probably be mosquitoes.
To pay for all these building materials, we're holding a summer fundraising drive starting May 25. More awesome goodies at more levels than ever before! (Two words: bumper sticker. For the first time in NaNo history!)
Stay tuned for more camp news and details about the upcoming fundraiser. In the meantime, I've still got some canoes to hollow out.
Chop chop!"
Not sure what it will be like November's, but it looks like a lot of fun!

So you're doing it? I've done the November nanowrimo twice. Now everytime I start a new book I approach the first draft that way. There's nothing like volume to push a person to better writing. Even if I have the sloppiest first copies on the planet. Let me know if you decide to do it.
