Well, I didn't ACTUALLY finish prepping until 12:26 am. But I put in 15 minutes for each assignment (2 of which I'd previously started, thankfully, but wasn't done with), then logged them to get credit. Then I actually FINISHED editing my outline nearly a half hour late. But I did work on it for 15 minutes before logging it. I still don't love it, but it will have to do for now. I've been trying to create an outline on one of the softwares I've used before, but they seem to all want to give me fits this year. My outline is still in "Nickel -- 2023 NaNo Project"  for now.

Anyway, thank you! I was getting a touch worried, but mostly that I'd get sucked too far into an assignment and forget there was a 15 minute time limit in order to be able to finish in time. lol
