Greetings everyone! My name is Stephanie, and this is my fourth year doing NaNo.
I'll be doing something a little different this year. Instead of writing one large story based in the world I have created, I'll be doing several smaller short stories that all ultimately link together. Why? I have several characters that I've been playing/writing for nearly twenty years, and their beginnings have been almost lost in time. So, I'll be revisiting their beginnings and bringing it all back to light.
I've chosen seven characters, and have decided on 6k words for each short story. Then one slightly longer story telling the tale of two of the characters together for 10k words. That comes up to 52k words, a nice little buffer should one story fall a little short.
