Camp NaNoWriMo? It’s like writer’s x-mas in July!

Anyone joining up for Camp NaNoWriMo?  C’mon!  Who’s with me?

Apparently the starting pistol goes off July 1st!

My wonderful wife caught wind of this and punted it my way today and we’re planning on doing it!  November comes early this year!  50K in July!

I figure I’ll take one of my ideas on deck for now, and the other in November (I’m a glutton for punishment).  The timing is perfect.  I’ve been itching to get into high gear with something fresh.  It works for my wife as well.   She does NaNo with me every year (and last year put me to shame) and this summer is the perfect time for her, no courses to work on!

So, the assignment is to get an outline ready for July 1st.

I have a 4 day weekend coming up, with Monday all to myself.   I intend to spend half of the day revising Revenant (and progressing in my online course from Holly Lisle) and spend the other half brainstorming ideas, plots and maybe outlining.

I made the mistake of gearing up late last November and when the 1st came around I was completely unprepared and I failed utterly.

This time, I’ll have a plan.

Oh yes, a PLAN!  *insert evil laugh here*
