Five Minutes a Day

My pledge this October is to do 5 minutes a day of prep work for my NaNo novel this year. And I am going to do my best to document what I am doing this month. So let's begin.

Yesterday I spent my 5 minutes making the most important decisions. 1) I am going to write a novel in my Charlie Snow series. 2) I am going to blog about it.

Today I have released the blog and started my new worksheet for the story.

For those of you who are new to my preparation method, I use a combination of "Snowflake" and clusters. I cluster my ideas together and then feed the information into a spreadsheet workbook format. I will show you guys this as I go along.

What do you do? What is your favorite preparation method?
