Re: Feeling like I did in grade school
by Past Member 'runningwolf04'
Iā€™m also a freelance copywriter. And earned an English degree. So Iā€™ve prepped for a lot of very, very different writing projects. Nothing like NaNo though! This is a whole different beast! And I feel like, in some ways, I AM doing homework for school again. Itā€™s a good analogy, I think.

I will say though that with those other projects, I learned that prepping made a big difference in the final outcome. I will not say that I never just ran with an idea and see where it took me. But prep work can really save some headache in the end, in my experience. So Iā€™m really having fun with this!

You could take your ideas and free write with them as part of your prepping? Have a taste of both intentional prepping and seat-of-pants writing?
