NoWriMo's?

Hey, I was wondering if anyone does any sort of NoWriMo. They happen in certain months, and the whole goal is to write 50,000 words in one month. It used to be only November, but there are others. (July, August, January) and it is a lot of fun to participate.

I an doing one in July (just google JulNoWriMo).

I highly recommend trying. And if some of you do participate; what are your novels usually about?

Mine (the one I'm doing in July) is about a mafia family underboss. (second in command in a family.) His mafia union (mafia, is, at this point; no longer limited to Italians. Think huge street gang) is headed by terrible leaders, and they get them into a war with another bigger union they cannot possibly win.
The main character convinces half of his family to stay in Chicago (the others die or begin to flee) and make a final stand.

hmm I might do this, thanks for the tip.

I did last years NaNoWriMo. I got to 25k words before I gave up. of course my computer was crap and it kept freezing which resulted in lots of rewriting. Made things difficult so I gave up.

I was going to last year, but I wasn't dedicated enough. This year I might; but exams, man.
