  • character bio for main character, briefer bios for secondary characters
  • finish a vague sort of family tree for main character
  • NaNo shopping
  • make a playlist with music that is suitably calming/conducive to work and/or epic (for writing those super-duper-intense scenes)
  • come up with some sort of vague storyline
  • outline daily goals - certain quotes and dares that should be incorporated during each day's writing
  • sift through any and all dare threads
  • settle on a title so it doesn't have to be untitled until the last day
  • clean room really well. Because admit it, you're not going to clean it at all during November.
  • come up with a list of NaNo snacks (and then buy them)
  • get accustomed to coffee. Be honest, it's the only way you're going to say sane.
