I'm doing NaNo this year - and the more I read about it the more excited I get. I decided to do it as a way to break the writer's block I've been dealing with for most of this year, and as a way to branch into some different forms of writing.
Taken at its heart, NaNo is really about ignoring your inner editor and just letting your imagination flow - no matter how bad it is, or implausible it is, or...whatever.
Which is exactly what I need.
I've got a premise, and the barest bones of an outline, and now I'm working on fleshing out the main characters - but that's all the prep I'm really going to do. Other than making a list of good ideas for scenes and events so that if I get stuck I have something to turn to.
I figure the worst that can happen is I fail, I don't finish by the end of the month, but big deal.
