I'm already really late on this post and my brain is fried, but I'm going to try and write something, even if it is a little short. I also realize this doesn't mesh with the "going back to 2000" thing I wrote last time, but it's really not working out anytime I try to start it. So we're doin' this instead.
I was talking to someone who wants to start writing this morning, and after recommending NaNoWriMo, remembered the existence of Camp NaNo. The August Camp has been moved to April since last year.
I'm thinking about participating. It's a horrible idea, I can tell already - the third week of April is finals week, the week after I start a full-time internship position, and all through the month I'll theoretically be squeezing in weekly posts here. In November I'm only battling minor things like midterms, and there's even a three-day-weekend for Thanksgiving. This…should be interesting.
However, I'm thinking that I'll cheat a bit and continue on with Third Life - getting another fifty-thousand words done of that would be amazing; heck, if I could get a couple thousand added, it would probably be better than what I can manage on my own initiative.
There's something about that competitive spirit, the race, and the wordcount meter that makes NaNo seem…not easy, but certainly possible.
I mean, I probably won't be saying that next month, but it's a nice sentiment.
