This November I will be join many other writers attempting to write a 50,000 word novel in the span of a month, or as some call it NaNo. Check out NaNoWriMo.org to find out what it's all about.

This year will be my fourth year participating and hopeful this will be the year that I actually finish on time. My inner editor always acts up during NaNo and I'll get caught up in editing as I go which throws me off.

So I'm starting my prep early this year. I'm re-reading one of my favorite writing books, Novelist's Boot Camp by Todd A. Stone. That should help me kick the ass of my inner editor and critic so they shut up until December when I can actually start editing.

So much is going on in October typically I don't get a chance to do any prep. And although you can't start any of your novel before November 1st it is a good idea to get yourself ready for it.

I'm also going to be investing in a lot of caffeine.
