How are preparations coming for everyone? And, for that matter, what do YOU do to prepare for NaNoWriMo?

Me, I'm still doing my world building, character building, and plotting - it's fantasy on a made-up world, so I'm building everything from scratch. I have the basics of my plot down, but only the basics. I still need the nitty gritty details done because that's how my brain works best.

I've also been thinking of possibly doing two novels this year, but haven't decided yet. I think I'll wait and see how it goes - I haven't even had a win for a few years, so that might be too much for me right now. OTOH, I've managed 100k words in 2 1/2 weeks a year ago, so it's actually doable for me. I dunno - like I said, haven't decided, but if I do, I also need to plot - in detail - the second novel as well, which is science fiction. I've got the broad brushstrokes down for that one as well, and the world is built, such as it is, but details are required.

The husband has been warned, so he knows what to expect. We still have yet to discuss bribes for the muse. In past years, it's been takeaway lunch packets to save me from cooking, but this year, we don't live close to any place that has decent lunch packets, so it's not so viable. I'm open to suggestions on what to bribe the muse with... :D

So. What about you? How are your preparations coming? Do you need help with anything?
