I always get inspired and start, and then get stuck. I’m also trying my hand at pre-plotting because the only thing I’ve ever actually finished is the first draft of a musical – for which I wrote a synopsis and revised it four times before I wrote a word of the script. I think I’m actually a plotter at heart, but I’ve been beating my head against the wall trying to be a pantser. Time to try something different. :)

I’d always planned to write the first draft of my next novel by the end of the year and NaNo was conveniently at the right time. I have a large number of words already written, although I may rewrite (as I am known to do). Still to do a full novel by January will require more than 50k a month (especially if my habit of rewriting and rewriting continues)

Plus I get a chance to support unpublished writers, many of them on their first NaNo
