So I got an email in my inbox today about CampNaNoWriMo and the date is approaching in April. I hadn’t actually planned on doing CampNaNoWriMo this year because I didn’t do so well in actually producing anything last year when they did the mid year program. This year they have one in April and in July and at first glance I want to just say no and wait until the normal time in November.
Throughout the course of the day I have thought about the fact that I never use not doing something well the first time as an excuse to not try again and I don’t want to start now. Perhaps the CampNaNoWriMo is just what I need to finish up the other novel and get working on outlining the ideas for the other one.
It will not only allow me to finish up a project but also to prepare for the NaNoWriMo in November and if I should choose to do the one in July as well (which knowing me I probably will), it will be a good warm-up for that one as well. So since April is approaching (quicker than I would like it to) I suppose I had better get my time management skills in check.
Hopefully some of you will join me in the month of April and participate in the CampNaNoWriMo and get warmed up for the November round. If you do decide to participate please let me know and maybe we can help hold each other accountable. Let’s go camping!

I received the email today too. I am strongly considering it. It would be good motivation for me to wrap up my current rough draft and short story projects in the next three weeks. Can’t write new stuff if you are still puttering around with the old stories.
Well if you decide to do it let me know. Maybe we can hold each other accountable for what we accomplish during that month!
I joined too! I hope we’ll be seeing many blog updates with regards to how your camp is going and how your cabin is doing 😛
