How do you prepare for / work up to Nanowrite? (original) (raw)

Hi :).
Seems like I'm starting fairly early, doesn't it? Just slightly over 200 days until Christmas, though ... (ducks the glares of folks like me who really don't want to think about it until the temp starts dropping into the 20 degrees in the United States).
Anyhow, I'm usually fairly quiet about my writing. I'd really like to win Nanowrite this year, (insert long story here), and so have decided to be more public. I would love to have writing and other artistic friends when November rolls around, so I at least don't feel all alone - don't know anyone locally that writes fiction (any kind), much less Nanowrite.
I thought 
issendai's idea was a good one, of having a warm up month. I've added myself to a couple of "Book in a Week" lists, and tonight am organizing the other writing spaces and places I promised myself I'd do -- been lax for a few years.
Thought I'd throw this out for a challenge to myself, and maybe a bit of off-season discussion.
Have a good week!
