What are you doing to prepare for NaNoWriMo?
My first step: Outline (Kind of obvious)
Step Two: Trying to tidy up a bit. Get the house under semi-control so I am not completely stressed out.
Step Three: Menus - I am making up a menu for November. I am including kid friendly recipes and cold cereal nights! I'm posting this in the kitchen so that I won't be bothered by the "What's for Dinner?" whine. (The exception is Thanksgiving of course. Who's idea was it to do this in November?)
Step Four: I am clearing a space for me. I don't have a writing space. SO, I am making one. I am also making a DO Not Enter Sign to post on this space. Perhaps getting a Novel Under Construction sign to post while I am working.
I have forewarned the family and adjusted my expectations a bit. I started with the goal of 1667 words a day. Then realized there will be days I don't/can't write. So I have upped my daily goal to 2,500.
Are you doing anything heading into this??
