Gaah. I'm doing Nanowrimo, but all this preplanning exhausts me just looking at it.

No criticism intended or implied. Just expressing my personal methodology. :-)

My preplanning so far has been an afternoon of thinking about what I could write in a month and coming up with answers for the questions above. I'm trying hard not to make it important. I just want 50,000 words written by me that run together in some reasonable fashion to communicate a few ideas rolling around in my head. If it turns into an actual story more the better.

The questionnaire intimidated me because I'm not doing ANY pre-planning, outside of having an idea about who my main character is, but I definitely plan to finish, and having you doing it, too, will help a lot. *kisses*
