I had only some notes on the story and characters and with that had a good idea of where I was going. But I think the write-or-die stress of NaNoWriMo works better if you have very little planned at all.

@Mark Cunningham Yeah, I’m trying to make sure that by the time November comes, I just have to sit down and write.

It’s my first one, so I have no idea how long it will take to prepare. It seems like a tall mountain to climb. After all, there’s a reason they call those who complete Nano “winners”. It doesn’t seem the least bit easy.

2012 will be my first NaNoWriMo. I’m hoping that with solid preparation, I won’t run into the same issue you did.

I’ll be blogging about my preparation and experience leading up to this Year’s WriMo over at http://www.notyetawriter.com
