I can't completely ignore NaNoWriMo, but this year has been rough and I've been sick for most of Preptober so I'm deciding to write with a much lower goal of 15k.

Hoping to get last min prepping done for #Preptober today before I head out to a small Halloween party with new friends! Bit first, taking my foster Lil Grasshopper to the Vet for the RHDV2 vaccination and to make sure things have dropped so he can be neutered #AdoptDontShop #FurAngelsAS

That Preptober-to-NovelNovember gear shift is such an exciting kind of chaos! Are you stepping into the month with a bulletproof beat sheet, or are you flying by the seat of your pants for this one?

Drafting for NaNoWriMo? Write fast and messy. Filter words, stock phrases, three sentences in a row that start with “She”: all fine in November.
They're easy to find in December.

T-5 days until November 1st.
The procrastinators begin their outlines; the planners begin to panic. By this time next week, the goal is 5,000 words.

Break Time Mode: 5 minutes! What's your favorite idea so far? It's also Weird Word Wednesday, and I think we should bring back the word Apricity—a cold (winter) day with a warm sun! #AmWriting #Preptober #NaNoPrep

Preptober is going great. The internet quits at 11 o'clock sharp, I can't spell my own fae festivals, and I hate my outline. I hate it. Everything's fine. How's your prep going? Be honest. Full episode: https://youtu.be/VYCRXQ315nI
