I believe I have decided on the story I may attempt for my NaNoWriMo project this year. This will also mark the first year I’ll be working with an outline. I always loved the “pantser” aspect of the contest (which means “seat-of-your-pants”), because one thrill about coming up with something new is not knowing where it’s going to end. I have to write it to find out.
This time, I think I’ll have the beginnings of a floor plan that I can develop into a blueprint before November. That’s not cheating. You can plan and outline, but no actual prose is permitted until the November 1st.
I had missed the last couple years but fully intend to participate this year. We’ll see what happens.
