Camp NaNoWriMo August '12 Begins Next Week

So, Camp NaNoWriMo August '12 begins next week and I CANNOT WAIT. Seriously, At this point I've been having to hold myself back.

In the last week - since getting hit with inspiration and finally deciding what I'm writing for NaNo - I've been plotting and planning, by writing notes, jotting down plot points and building character sheets. I feel like I'm all ready to go on August 1st.

This time around I'll be writing a New Adult Contemporary Romance, that has a strong under currant of fantasy, with the working title of Cupid. 

Here's the synopsis: 

I'm a Cupid, it's my job to make other people fall in love with each other. Sounds awesome, right? Well you're wrong. I'm not even a fully trained Cupid, I've still got to fill my quota. In just six months I have to make one-hundred couples fall in love. You know what happens if I don't fill my quota? A demon called Abraxas gets my soul, and I become part of his "collection" of cupids who've been turned to stone for eternity. I'm on forty-seven … should be simple, right? Now throw into the mix my job as a romance columnist for the local newspaper, Cordelia - 'the boss from hell', and the landlord breathing down my neck for rent. Oh, and did I mention there's a boy … there's always a boy! His name is Leto, and he's a guitarist in a local bad. Sad thing is, he doesn't even know I exist. At least I have my best friends Rathi and Phoebus the cheer me up. They're awesome. And that's my life. I'm Callie Gibson, and I'm a Cupid.

And yes, for the first time in a long time, I'm writing in first person perspective, which is always a challenge for me. I hope I'm up to it, and don't have to change my plans partway through.  

For the duration of NaNo, I will mostly be blogging daily updates (though the few fests I've signed up for are schedualed to post too), and though I'll try to still try to keep up with you all, visiting blogs is going to take a back seat in August, so I can focus on writitng. 

For my updates, I'm adopting the style Laura over at Stranger Than Writing used for her June NaNo updates, in the following format:

Experiences of the Day: 

Who else is taking part? I'd love to hear what you've got planned, and maybe we can be cabin buddies? You can find me here.

AND, if that's isn't enough NaNo-y goodness for you, under the cut is a character sheet that includes my main character, her love interest, her two best friends, and the two antagonists of the story. I've also made a mock-up cover, if you're interested.
