I am once again attempting NaNo this year. For my past 3 attempts - the last 3 years - I have had a full student schedule and a full rehearsal, tech, and performance schedule over October and November. But this year, I do not have quite as much obligatory life stuff going on, so i'm hoping I can finally NaNo and focus like I want to. I have never been very good at prep, but I did recently pick up a book on writers and writing by Neil Gaiman called "The View from the Cheap Seats" that has been very inspirational for me!
Andrea B oh my, that sounds like a busy schedule! I hope you're able to meet your goals this year! Also, I think I've heard of that book. I'm gonna make a note to check it out, thanks!
SunnyDayle you should! It's a very good book. I hope my Nano attempt this year goes well - i have started telling people about it, which I think will help, because I have always been a little reclusive about it in the past
See if you can find any write-ins this year! I really made an effort one year and wish I had the time to get to them this year. So awesome meeting other writers.
I've always been a pantser but this year I finally decided to prep. I can't wait for November!
I hope it works for you! Good luck!
I seem to prep to prep but never get round to it. So come November 1st I just have to furiously type with half an idea.
Sometimes just that struggle might work itself out. :)

SunnyDayle that is a great idea! I have also gotten a couple of my friends to get on board for nano with me *maniacal laughter*
