Things I need to buy for NaNo:

• Food. Enough to restock my cupboards, lots of coffee, nibbly things, fruit, etc.
• Some sort of "avater" for Breckin (that's my muse, for those of you just tuning in.)
• New printer (if possible).
• Digital kitchen timer or some such, to mark fifteen-minute periods when I'm writing somewhere in public, so as to not drive people insane with the sound of my kitchen timer.

The plan for this week is to work out first characters, then rough plot, then a new version of the map (and possibly a slightly tweaked version of the history), while moving my sleep cycle back two hours, so I'll go to bed at 22:30 and wake up at 04:30. That'll give me two hours before work to write, plus of course the two hours on the train. If that works, I'm hoping I can keep that schedule up from then on.

If I follow the schedule I have in mind, I can write for about 2-4 hours on weekdays, four hours on Saturday, and six on Sundays, and on the weekdays during the second week, which I have off work, I ought to be able to write about eight hours, either at home or in coffeeshops, pubs, or wherever. That would put me at about 100,000-120,000 words at the end of the month, and crossing the 50,000 line around the 15th.

I hope.
