This is Preptober, the month before Nanowrimo. I'll explain.
Nanowrimo means National Novel Writing Month, and would be writer's like myself are supposed to write 1500 words each day. We're supposed to have a 45,000 word rough draft by the end of the month. Preptober is the month when we get ready by outlining it, and I don't have anything planned. I might "pants" it, which means writing by the seat of your pants. I always do this when I write a short story, but I've never written anything as long as a novel.
