NaNoPrep2023 NOTES#2: NaNoWriMo ToDoList

1. TECH
laptop & charger
mouse & batteries
[] iPad & charger - seriously, I can NOT find my charger, and it is ticking me off. Where tf did I put it???
wireless keyboard & batteries
[] wireless earbuds (black & pink) & chargers - black ones are my every-day buds, so those are g2g, but I want to find a second charger for my pink ones; otherwise I'll have to steal the one next to my bed.
[] wired earbuds (white) & plug - no idea where that charger is, and again, it is ticking me off. Why must I be this way??? Or, more to the point, why must phones now require special pluggy-things for wired chargers? Ridiculous!
[] writing program - Hmmm. I was planning to just write directly into daily entries here, but sometimes mid-sentence I hit something that makes my entire entry disappear, and I'm not for that. So I need to figure out wtf I'm doing. I could just use notepad and copy/paste each day's entry upon completion, as I plan to mostly use my phone & wireless keyboard to write on, and it would really simplify things.

2. WRITING SPACES
[] home - clean office! Needed done anyway, and I'm grateful for the annual excuse.
[] boba shop - check hours of operation for this and the below-listed locations. I might be able to borrow Abbie's car sometimes, and I might be able to walk on non-rainy days. Yep, I'm sugar and will melt. Don't @ me.
[] library
[] book store
[] star beast
[] Panera

3. SNACKS - order everything. Order aaaaall the things. Order and order and keep ordering. Never not be ordering groceries.
[] candy
[] Dr. Pepper
[] coffee
[] Gatorade - but let's be real, I only added Gatorade because I felt guilty sticking to coffee and Dr. Pepper.
[] water - change filter
[] fruits & berries - for sugar rush after I run out of candy.
[] veggies & nuts - because I feel guilty for all that sugar, and because humans need more than sugar to survive, or at least that's a rumor I heard somewhere, but honestly, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

4. GEAR
[] fingerless gloves - because fingies have feelings too.
[] sockies - because I needed more anyway. wish I could find the footies with poms that I used to wear when I was a kiddo.
[] sweatpants - I'm down to two pairs - need I say more?
[] writing shirt - Jess says it's cheating to keep ordering the "winner" shirt when I never, in fact, "win" - but I say he's a negative Nancy and you can't know till it's too late and then, well, it's not MY fault I'm not a fortune teller!
writing hat - Carli can die mad, but I will always be grateful for the NaNoWriMo viking hate she crocheted for me. It's perfect and I love it.
candles - never enough. Have some, needs more.
muzak - this is a first for me this year! I'm downloading a ton of pre-made lo-fi writing music to put me in the mood and block out the world. It's been working when I use it at home over the last couple months.

5. TO DO LIST
register project on NaNoWriMo
[] create cover - I used a b&w art image for now, but I do need to make an actual cover of some kind. I guess. Maybe. Maybe not?
[] schedule write-ins - which means I need to fart around with my planner! Yay!
re-figure word-count goals
[] print NaNoWriMo calendar - oh snap, I almost forgot this, and it's one of my favorite parts of NaNoWriMo!!!
[] stickers! eep - will have to use a mishmash from my stash as I haven't been able to afford new toys.
[] plan rewards - see previous statement on budget. Rewards will be non-monetary this year and will include binge-watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix, vegging out to youtube videos, messing about in my planner, which I haven't done in ages. Organizing my stickers, making lists, setting up next year, setting goals, etc. *Play Time* can and should be a prize in and of itself! And if I actually win NaNo this year, maybe I can talk Jess into letting me print and bind my draft!
