We present a numerical study of a derivative nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation
with a general power nonlinearity, $|\psi|^{2\sigma}\psi_x$. In the
$L^2$-supercritical regime, $\sigma>1$, our simulations indicate that there is
a finite time singularity. We obtain a precise description of the local
structure of the solution in terms of blowup rate and asymptotic profile, in a
form similar to that of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with supercritical
power law nonlinearity.
