Preptober is flying by, and I'm deep into my preparations for NaNoWriMo next month.  So far, not only have I outlined about two-thirds of my NaNoWriMo project, I've managed to get my yearly evil illness out of the way.  That may not sound like much, but so far, every single NaNo that I've attempted has been sidelined by getting sick.  In my part of the world, the transition from Summer to the colder months usually happens in November, and it typically knocks me on my butt for a few weeks.  This year, it's already happened, about a month ahead of schedule, so I've spent the last week and a half feeling like complete death.  I have decided to look at this in a positive light and believe it means I will be healthy all next month.  😂 

I think I'm going to go back to wearing masks in public, just to be sure.  I don't want to get sick during NaNoWriMo!

I'm excited about this project.  I'm trying out a paranormal romance, which is kind of scary since I've never done romance before.  There will be magic-wielding lizard humanoids, political treachery, super-soldiers, and an abundance of warm fuzzies.  Or at least, that's the goal.  Fingers crossed.

Between now and November 1st, I need to finish my outline, give my characters actual names instead of the bizarre combinations of letters and numbers that identify them in my Plottr account, get my dogs' food ready for the entire month, and let everyone around me know not to talk to me for 30 straight days.  I also need to make sure that I don't get sucked into any amazing Netflix shows that will distract me from my work.  So, no one remind me that the last season of Dead to Me is supposed to come out next month! 

How's your Preptober going?  Any good tips you want to pass along?
