I've been calling this month my NaNoPlano. I've attempted Nano multiple times but never "won". I think the best I managed was around 25k (which ultimately hit 80k). I've been kicking this story around for so long, though, that I need to write it.
My goal for October is to write an outline that I'm happy with, so that I can hit the ground running. That includes a bunch of reading and rereading of story structure, re-reading (parts of) some of my favourite novels, and pre-writing as much as possible (detailed notes, research, character bios, etc).
October: fueled by decaf coffee, self-imposed deadlines and hope.
November: A storm of sentences, one word at a time. The novel target is 120k words, so I'm planning to write the first third or so for Nano. I'm happy to word war and/or hang out in chat with anyone who needs company or an accountability buddy.
