Preparing for Nano 1

Wow is it already August?

You bet your ass it is! And that usually means for me it's high time I start preparing for the coming National Novel Writing Month, which is in November.

If you notice, I have my count down going already and doing it's thing right now.

Well, I decided that I would blog my way through this process this year. See how that helps (or doesn't) with planning and getting ready for everything.

So let's start out by making a list, shall we?

1. Prepare the youtube and Pandora playlists for much playing. 
2. Make sure that my Hulu queue is set up and ready for me to have many good things to watch while writing. 
3. Make sure my Youtube playlist of movies and documentaries are ready for me.
4. Work out plot details for story.
5. Work out the first 10 scenes of the story
6. Figure out characters and who they are
7. Figure out ideas for what is to go into the story
8. Figure out pairing ideas 
9. Figure out if there will be sex in this book
10. Figure out second book plot since it will tie into first book
11. Write down ending because I know what will happen. (Not a happy gooey ending okay)
12. Figure out antagonists for my story.
13. Figure out how long chapters should average to reach minimum of 60K length

Okay, so, I have my list set up. I can do at least three of those things now.

1. Prepare the youtube and Pandora playlists for much playing. 
• I have a lot of songs that I like to listen to when I'm writing. Most of them are songs that I don't need to pay attention to, are in another language or set the mood for a scene. I have a master list with all of the songs (mostly) with several smaller lists that break up the songs for certain worlds or ideas. So this is done but I am always looking for more.
2. Make sure that my Hulu queue is set up and ready for me to have many good things to watch while writing. 
• I do this because I do watch a lot of Hulu while writing. I would do Netflix but due to unforseen circumstances, the account that I was attached to has been closed for the time being. Which I know the reasons and I understand why. I can make due with Hulu and Youtube. It's just a matter of being creative with how I set things up. 
3. Make sure my Youtube playlist of movies and documentaries are ready for me.
• Remember when I said it's just a matter of being creative? I wasn't joking. Youtube has a lot of things out there. It's just a matter of shuffling through things. I'm not looking for good video quality. I'm looking for sound quality mostly since I'm using things as background. I have started this process and am raiding various playlists and searches for things.  

Well, that's three things off of my list. Which is good for me. :D

I'm rather happy with how things are going so far either way but for now I'm going to go back to rewriting a fanfiction into an original story. :D 

Stay tuned for Preparing for Nano 2!
