I've been wanting so badly to join in this year and plan a new book, but I've also been a bit worried. I'm currently fast-drafting a book (I wrote almost 40k on it last month) and have set myself a deadline to finish my zero draft by the end of October. I definitely think I could find free time to prep, since Prep is always beyond amazing and makes my first drafts much stronger—and I could avoid letting more than 72 hours elapse between posted assignments, too—but I'd probably be trying to work through assignments quickly (and maybe even out of order). My goal, when I had the time for it, would be to set a huge portion of the day aside to work hard on finishing a whole bunch of prompts at once so I could finish a couple weeks early.

I love the atmosphere in the Prep forum and would definitely keep up in here, but would it be okay if I ended up speed-prepping and finishing early so I could also finish my current book before the month ends? Or would it be best for me to wait for next year's Prep?

Sending and good luck to everyone Prepping this month!
