We're almost there and anticipation is growing. Do yourself a favor and take a break today. Feed the well before the madness starts.

We make notes at the beginning in a burst of enthusiasm. Time to take another look at what you've written. What needs to be changed or added?

Sometimes you need to hold the info to avoid the naysayers. But if someone needs to know you'll be tied up, tell them now.

Clear everything off, scrub the surface down, & put back only what you need. What occupies space on your desk? What is noise and junk?

"Get up a half hour early" much advice says, but that may not work for you. Look at your schedule. Where can you crave out time to write?

You don't need to nail things down, but consider how long the action in your story takes. A month? A year? Several years? Twenty-four hours?

Even if you're a complete pantser, you probably have ideas for scenes. Make notes when inspiration strikes. Saves on frustration in the middle of November.

Subplots are great, but they shouldn't be afterthoughts. Think about how they intersect as a whole. Do they help drive the story forward?

There's planning for mealtime, but also plan for your writing sessions. Consider some healthy snacks & plenty of water to wash things down.

Are they so focused on their perceived goal they miss things they should be paying attention to? What's their emotional wound? Do they have inept minions?

Doing some preptober plotting for the newish story. I've decided to write this one For NaNoWriMo this year and working title is Muse. Not spilling the final title yet! It will be a cosmic horror or horror story. I've noticed a pattern in my planning of my more recent stories where I hit the Inciting incident straight off and then exposition followed by a 2nd inciting incident. Maybe I'm developing my story structure slowly? #preptober2023 #AmPlotting #AmWriting

There has to be a reason your protagonist can't simply get what they want. Is something external standing in their way? Something within? Both?

I know I've announced my project for #NaNoWriMo but I've got this new one started. I think would be better for NaNo. There's no rule that says I can't change my mind on what to write during #preptober2023 right lol? I may try to draw a cover for it too so that I can announce this one properly. I'm still going by my same rules since I've written an opening paragraph and planning to write more of it during the planning process. I just want to write 50k more words than what I have on Nov 1st.

Dig a little deeper than, "Rule the world!" and your antagonist will be more well-rounded. They'll be more of an obstacle for your protagonist.

And is it what they really want or is there something else?
