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

Date: 2010-10-30 04:55 pm (UTC)I...have been watching movies. I'm the type of movie watcher who even if I've seen the movie 1,000 times I need to pay attention, so I don't write while I watch.
Tomorrow night I'll only get to write until like...1 or 2ish because I have class on Monday, and then...I'm helping my mom's friend with something after class on Monday and am probably babysitting, so there's a good chance I'm not going to the library like I thought I would, where I'd actually be able to focus on writing. The rest of the week other than Saturday is up in the air because I don't know my work schedule yet. Saturday I am 99% certain I have the day off because I have a baby shower to go to, so before and after the shower I'm going to be writing like crazy.
There's a part of me that feels like I should be panicking. Maybe because I don't have...a TON figured out yet, but I'm leaving most of the figuring out for when I'm actually writing. Like, I know that my main character has to rescue a dragon from enslavement. Ask me how THAT one is going to happen when I'm not great at writing certain types of scenes like that. And then...there's an artifact that I want my main character to protect and I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. o____o
...Guess that's what I'll be trying to figure out tonight.
