Lost but Seeking
Iiiiiit's that time of year again!
If you aren't familiar with National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), it's a yearly event held in November that challenges people to write 50,000 words in 30 days. There are usually a fair number of people from the forums who participate, so I thought we ought to have a thread.
Who's in this year? What are you working on? Feel free to post your NaNo profile if you have one, so people can add you as a writing buddy. (Mine's here.)
If you plan on doing NaNo this year, what are you doing in terms of planning or preparation?
I'm going to be working on Salvage this year, with the goal of actually finishing up the draft! This... has been my goal for several previous writing challenges and I've never made it, but I'm really close now! At the very least I should be able to close out this arc, finally, which leaves just a couple partially-written ones to lead on into the ending.
I generally don't do any prep before diving into NaNo. Of course, I'm almost always adding words to an existing project rather than starting a new one, so the prep work is pretty much already done. One thing I should do is check whether there are any write-ins or such around here; I've never gone to one before because I've never seen any near me, but I just moved, so maybe there's something going on around here.
