Heading Off to Camp (NaNoWriMo)!

Today I made the crazy decision to jump into Camp NaNoWriMo.

I had not previously planned on doing so, but for some strange reason when day one of camp started yesterday I was feeling incredibly nostalgic. I missed the vibe I got around NaNo season in November, the feeling of actually wanting to write words and having fun doing so. Also, I missed the way my mind came alive after gulping down a large mug of coffee right before I'd write my words for the day. So today, I sit at my computer, starting the first chapter for my novel.

It's not even a new idea, either - it's a rewrite for the novel that won me my first ever NaNo back in 2012. This novel means a lot to me, plus I think it has a lot of potential to go places, and I guess my mind finally realized that I need to get back to work on it.

I don't know what's going to happen this time around. I've never done Camp before, and even though I lowered my word goal to 25k, will I be able to hit that goal? Will I ever finish the rewrite of this novel? Will I quit halfway through? 

I need to stop talking like that or I'll never get anything done.

I'm going to try to document my camp journey on this blog. Probably not daily, but maybe once or twice a week. I'm hoping I get some good writing out of this. 

Good luck to any fellow campers! GET THOSE WORDS WRITTEN!!
