I haven’t finished creating all of my characters, or writing up profiles for any of the existing ones. I don’t have all of the organizations thought out, or the timeline of events, and I haven’t done a lot of the background backstory that won’t directly be mentioned but is important to the setting and general atmosphere. The list goes on and on…

But I’m going to write anyway. When I first started doing NaNo, I didn’t do any of that! I just pantsed my way through and the end result was an actual novel that I actually thought was okay! I did it several times before, and I can definitely do it again.

Now I need to go make dinner and hope that trick-or-treaters don’t bother me too much as I finish all of my last-minute planning.
