Panic Time! How are you guys doing?

[jupitersings.livejournal.com]

Regardless of where you are we now have less than 48 hours until the official start of NaNoWriMo.

It is officially panic crunch time.

Are you ready? What type of last minute preparations are you doing? (if any)

Better yet, what type of shiny things have you found to help you procrastinate getting ready? Have you spent hours that were meant to be for plotting cruising tvtropes? Get online intending to research and plot but instead went on omegle to troll strangers? Or have you just sat down to start planning when... oh man... you suddenly feel so hungry and snackish that you have the odd desire to bake a cake!

It's funny that you mention baking a cake because I'm actually using baking as a part of my rewards. Every week I stay on wordcount, I get to bake something that I've been meaning to try. I'm hoping this will keep me motivated and will provide snacks as well.

As for procrastination methods, I've been crawling through the NaNo boards and listening to podcasts. I've also been trying to edit other stories but that's half procrastination half productivity, so y'iknow.

I am going to try to go over my notes tonight or tomorrow and inset some of the subplots into my outline before it gets too late (I've got a list going from the Adopt A Subplot thread) and try and make a final character list. I also might try and make a list of who's coming in where but we'll see.

I still don't know where the damn story is taking place but we'll ignore that part in favor of muffins.
