My plan for NaNoWriMo 2017

Now that my NaNoWriMo 2016 project has officially fizzled out, here’s my plan for 2017 if I choose to participate again (and I am at this very early stage leaning toward not doing so):

  • Come up with an idea at least a full month ahead of time
  • Plan out the tools to be used for the writing at least two weeks in advance
  • Outline the novel (new!)
  • Spend at least the first weekend building up as large a buffer as possible (the first weekend starts on Saturday, November 4th)
  • Talk talk talk about my novel–share all kinds of stuff, go totally bananas on it (new!)
  • Attend more local NaNoWriMo events

And that’s about it. I actually did the first two this year and still flopped. Maybe adding in the other four will result in dazzling success.

If I participate.

Which I probably won’t.
