I know I am on the right track with my latest work because I dream about it. All last night I was dreaming about conversations, plot and characters. Mainly the sequence of events, the key components of the novel, and so on.

Am I the only one who does this?

I think some of the nuances of my NaNo novel have changed, now that I have worked out what the basic plot lines is in each chapter. I have outlined them, spent most of Sunday doing so.

I think when you're writing at such a blistering pace (NaNo means planting down 1667 words per day) then all the planning you can do the better. Then again, no matter how much planning you end up doing, real life seems to always encroach and stuff everything up. You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't! LOL

Never mind...this year I am going to give it a red hot go.

(I am still not 100% happy with the title, but it'll do for now).
