National Novel Writer's Month

I'm taking what is (as far as I know) a unique approach... I started writing this one in August. What I did was focus on the backstory - how the main character became cursed during the French Revolution and how she got from France to England. My novel concept is to write about her sexual adventures over the 700+ years of her life, which means that there can be a lot of things that happen. So I am not necessarily forcing myself to write linearly - I can write small snippets in effect, short adventures which take place anywhere along the timeline. I may still burn out, because this is my first NaNoWriMo and I have never attempted to maintain an average off 1667 words per day... although I am now "preparing" by trying to maintain an average of 1,000 words per day throughout the month of October (I actually started September 30, and so far, that is two days in a row reaching near 1,100 words each day; I have yet to sit and write today).
