  • READING BOOKS. LOTS OF BOOKS.
    • I would mostly tackle big classics - Anna Karenina, East of Eden, etc.
    • ~200 pages a day
    • Obviously I would have to make journal entries daily about thoughts, impressions, hypotheses.
    • Ideally I'd like to try to get through lots of books - at least 5-10.
  • Writing a novel
    • It would be like NaNo, only I would just spend all day writing - and maybe I would get a chance to edit and such.
    • I'd probably continue with this year's NaNo plot (which didn't really happen.)
    • Extensive plot and character planning would occur prior to writing.
    • Goal of ~5,000 words per day
  • Reading books AND writing a novel?
    • See the above two ideas - obviously I wouldn't have nearly enough time to devote to each.
    • What I'm reading would have a substantial influence on the section of my novel I was working on.
  • Art of some sort...
