Guys, Prep is awesome. I'm having so much fun planning and preparing. I've worked over a few hazy gray moments of depression/confusion regarding the validity of my plot and my reasons for even wanting to tell this story at all, laid out a plan for my novel, and identified and tried to address possible blocks, all before NaNo has even started.

I'll be studying for an international test during NaNo (one I am woefully underprepared for), but I feel equipped to hack out 50,000 words before the end of the month. Even if studying kills me and I can't finish before 11/30, I'll just keep going until it's done.

I can't wait for November!
