So, with October almost here, it's almost time for NaNo prepping, for those who will do NaNo again this year. I didn't prep at all last year, and then everyone decided to come and visit in November, so I ended up not finishing NaNo. I'm planning on prepping a lot better this year and hopefully reaching my 50k words.

Will anyone else be prepping next month? Thought I'd open this space up for tips, tricks and for us to encourage each other and bond. I'll probably open something up in November as well, so we can walk each other through the process.

I haven't prepared yet, but I may give it another try and see how far I get.

I have only written the one-line synopsis, actually, but I plan on using October to do the actual outline for the story. I hadn't done it for last year, so no wonder I didn't really finish.

I haven't begun to prepare for NaNoWriMo but I am going to do it again this year.

I did it two years ago and tried last year but was lame and gave up a few days in. I'm deciding to do a little better with prepping and maybe actually try to reach the 50,000 words. The first time I wrote one was in 7th grade and I only got up to around 25,000 but I think if I put in the effort I can make the goal. I've got an idea that I'm still working out.

I intend to try Nano again this year (last year was my first) but haven't thought about planning.

Updating: Finally settled on a story, now working on prepping the main and secondary characters. Since I'll be away from posting for the upcoming week, I'll probably get some prepping done so I can start writing as soon as November hits. =) After I work the characters (I'm using a modified version of my character sheet template from here), I'll get the main and secondary events listed, hopefully. Anyone else already settled on at least a theme?

If a scattered mess of snippets of characters, threads of stories, and a general theme of fantasy hodge podge can be counted as settled, than yes! Haha!

I started with one idea and I was happy with that, than the next couple of days turned into "wouldn't that be a fun thing to write about" and "that sounds cool, let's include that" until I decided to just take all the ideas and throw them together and see what comes out :)

I feel you there. XD
I have at least three other ideas noted, but decided to focus on this one and try to see it through. XD

Haha, I get an idea, I follow it. I get another idea down that path, I follow it. Eventually I get lost in them all and hack my way out, bringing scattered fragments of all the ideas with me.

Settling doesn't happen...half way through NaNo I wouldn't be surprised if I want to change the whole thing!

I totally did it last year. But this year, I crafted this one as a personal challenge, so I see myself sticking to it.

I am the exact same way @Asterous XD

I might have settled on something, though. The ideas based off things in your own life seem to work out the best sometimes.

@Sound of Silence, Haha, just when I thought I had settled on something another idea makes itself known. I have a week to get myself straightened out!

I have never done it before but I might this year. I've always been tempted to try.

My storyline is all over the place. Before it was going somewhere with realistic fiction but now I'm thinking maybe more fantasy or midevil-y and I'm just a mess. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get 50,000 words with school and stuff but I'm going to at least try.

Less than an hour until NaNo starts for me! And guess what...my idea has changed again! Hopefully I can stick with it once I acually start writing =D

I'd never heard of this before, I've just looked it up and it sounds like so much fun! I might give it a go :)
