NaNoWriMo - anyone up for it?

Would anyone like to join me here for a NaNoWriMo support and encouragement thread? I have just finished my first novel and am submitting it to agents in batches. I think a month focused on something different would do me a lot of good!
I have had a nose around the NaNoWriMo website and am about to start working through the preparation tasks- a bit late according to the official timetable but I already have an idea, rough plot, and characters.
Going to need plenty of ☕🍪🍰 to help it along.
Anyone else having a go?

I forgot about this thread. I got to the end. Definitely think four viewpoints was too many and slowed me down. Started to lose my mind a little by the end. Going to enjoy reading this month.

Well done you @cherrypi

Do you use Scrivener for keeping track of four different voices?

Enjoy a nice reading break before the next phase!

No just Google docs and chapter headings. Also put new characters names in my headings for reference. Thanks

Well done @Cherrypi! Will you take a month off and then start editing?

No I think I'll leave this one. It wasn't the one worth editing. Probably won't write much till next nano.
