How Do You Write Your NaNo Novel?

What do you do? Do you plan ahead? Do you just jump in on day one with no plot in mind?

I plan out like crazy, for week after week, with detailed outlines and graphs, and maps and illustrations. I go the whole nine yards when it comes to planning. I do this every single year.

Than November comes and I start writing. Before I know it my main character is dead and laying in a pool of blood, while some minor villain is now the main character, and every plot detail I had planned has been thrown out the window, while my story runs in a completely different direction than I had planned it!

Once I get started, I stop for nothing, either. Neither spelling, nor grammar, nor dark of night can force me to go back and edit any of my random drivel!

In the end, I have a complete total mess that doesn’t in anyway resemble my original plan, but at least I hit 50k.
