Hello and a very sunny October day to you all!!
Welcome to Preptober everyone!
If you're a plotter, it’s that time where every bit of information you think you may need is gathered and the nightmares of what may come this NaNoWriMo set in. If you’re a pantser then you’re on the other side of the spectrum, beginning to consider the endless possibilities of what it might be you’ll be working on this November while sipping coffee/tea/coco/spirits as you watch the rest of us run around like chickens with our heads pulled off. Regardless of where you stand on the spectrum there is use in this checklist for you.
Let us kick this Preptober off with a bang and dive right into my handy-dandy checklist.
