Preptober Goals 2022

Ouu, it is that time again. Preptober is here, and NaNoWriMo is right around the corner, and still, over the past 7 years, I have yet to win...

That changes this year!

This year, I am going to be more realistic with myself, and I am going to set achievable goals. Life has become more active since school began, and I am doing all I can to work on ensuring that I regain my grip on things.

With that said... My Goal for Preptober is to create a "completed" story binder and to write twenty 1000-word (minimum word count) episodes for my Kindle Vella "Thrall". I plan to release 4 episodes a week in November.

How will this prep me for NaNo, then? 

Welp, in having a completed story binder and twenty episodes under my belt, I will be able to go into NaNo this year solely focused on writing the remainder of the story itself and not focused on plotting. 

Each year, I either put off or poorly plan for NaNo. Then I struggle with writing because I don't fully understand where I want to take my characters. Then I put off the process until the next nano event, which keeps going on and on in this never-ending spiral. This year I am reclaiming my time and putting an end to the madness that is my poor planning.
