Excitement to the max. I've been pumping myself up for this all month!

[Caz]

Got a plan done, just gotta write it up to print out for Halloween. Gonna be kinda tough since I'm away for a week starting around the 2nd of November. Trying to write in the middle of partying = hard. 1stworldproblems.

So how much prep work have other people done? I've got a general idea of the way the story goes in my head, but I haven't planned out chapters or anything more specific than some world building notes and short biographies for some, but not all of the important characters.

I've done this planning:

So yeah, gonna be fun. Might spin some kind of bizarre Space Knights of Crail high fantasy in space yarn.

Six page outline and building. I tend to go overboard when I work on stuff. I've got a cover too

So do we start on 1st of November where we live, or the 1st of November in America? Because if it's the former I better start writing.

Bout what you've done, minus the writing. I store it in my head

I think NaNo is American, so get going!

On another topic, I remember that some of you were saying that there used to be an IRC Channel for this, are we going to do that again?

[Arx]

Probably. I might hop on a bit tomorrow (GMT+2), but I'll be studying a lot of the time instead of writing.

Handmade a cover, fleshed out full character sheets for 5 or 6 characters and updated more for returning ones. 13 chapters outlined, with 33 scenes or so, each with descriptions. Did a couple minor stage setting documents. While I was at it I also plotted a few hooks for character development in the next novel in the series and hashed out some long-term character arcs that I hadn't worked on yet.

All this took less work that nano actually will.

Start in November for you. NaNo is global.

As someone with a creative writing minor (hopefully becoming someone who gets paid to write), I feel put to shame by the amount of prep you guys have already put in to this. Nice.

Summarised 24 chapters and did a veeerrryy basic character sheet. I should've probably prepped more than I did but oh well.

Reached the target for tonight, but it took around 2 and a half hours. Hopefully I should speed up when I get back into the NaNo groove.

[Salsacookies]

Engines are revving, an hour 30 til NaNo. Much excitement is here, indeed

None whatsoever!

I haven't even decided what to write about. Oh well.
