DE, a camp is a good place to give it a try. It's a much more relaxed event than the November novel marathon. There's another camp event coming in July if you don't want to jump into this one. There are people in my cabin writing screenplays, short stories, re-writing things, continuing projects like I am doing, one person is writing a poem every day, and of course there are a handful of new novels as well. Oh, and one lady is writing a series of daily devotionals. Anyway there's a lot of fun energy because folks love their projects.
My NaNo name is Denelle if anyone wants me as a buddy. (Named after my Breton archer Denelle Jeline. Jensa was taken.) I'm relentlessly cheerful. You have been warned.

Callidus, I hope you get some sleep! I tried to go off antihistamines to improve my brain for a month, but April in the south is a bad time to try that. I lasted about 30 minutes.
