It’s OCTOBER and that means NaNoWriMo PREPtober is here.
Preptober is a time when I get ready to do the hard work of writing a novel in a month for NaNoWriMo.
My Preptober got off to a great start. I’ve already worked my way through one planner. I’ve been using Sarra Cannon’s Preptober Planners for a couple of years now, and I think they’re comprehensive without being overly complicated. Check out her YouTube Channel and mailing list to get them.
I had two story ideas, so I decided to combine them. It’s not that they’re exact opposites, but they both involve created worlds that I think I can manage to sew together. What will happen? Maybe a pile of junk. Maybe nothing. We’ll see.
Next, I’m working on the Character Questionnaires, which, I think, are the worst part of prepping yet the most helpful when I’m stuck in the writing phase. I have 8 characters I’m prepping so that could take a while. CONTACT ME for a copy.
As for my goals, I’ve mapped out my NaNoWriMo strategy and I know my working days and times. I think I’m ready.
My favorite parts of Preptober:
- Downloading a new planner and filling it out.
- Prepping my time and space to write
- Mulling over my story idea(s)
My least favorite parts:
- All the paperwork
- Waiting for NaNo to begin.
That’s my first Preptober update. Stay tuned for more.
