I will admit that I do a little work ahead. Then again, I sometimes write during NaNoWriMo in bigger chunks as I've done days in the past where I've gotten almost 10,000 words and a few days had no writing.

Since I'm going through treatment for cancer, I don't know if I'll be able to do every single day during the actual day so I've done a couple things early just in case I have a bad day. Posting when have a terrible day where need to stay in bed is a little easier than doing the writing part. I wasn't even sure until a few days ago I was going to try NaNo this year but figure what I can get done will still be a success in writing.
