Three days.
Three short, dread-filled, frantic days.
Three more days of last-ditch attempts at some sort of semblance of planning.
Three more days to come up with an idea for a novel.
Luckily, I've already decided on the novel I will write this year, and as a "pantster," I don't tend to plan my novels very extensively. Writers tend to fall into two camps: "planners" and "pantsters." Like I said, I fall into the latter group, but I think mentally I always want to be a planner. I just never actually create my character demographic profiles until I've already started writing the novel, and even then, sometimes I never do any sort of extensive planning like that. I have a general theme, I have a main character, I've got a couple of supporting characters in mind, and I have a setting. Boom. Planning done.
But in reality, I'm pretty excited and nervous for this next month. It'll be fun, and it'll be intense.
I'll do my best to give you all weekly updates on how the novel is progressing, and any interesting stories I've come across in my writing ventures, but of course I can't make any promises. Once I spiral downwards into the dark abyss that is NaNoWriMo (I mean that in the best way possible, of course), it's hard to climb your way back out.
Good luck to all my fellow Rhinos! May the month of November be filled with endless inspiration and lots of caffeine!
Love Always,
Kristin
