Preparing for NaNoWriMo

October is preparation month for National Novel Writing Month. A NaNoWriMo preparation contest runs on writing.com during October. The idea is to outline the novel's plot and create the characters.

Each day in October you schedule about 15 minutes to work on the plot, outline and character creation. Then in November you begin writing the novel. I need the preparation time because I have absolutely no idea for a premise. I will figure that out before October 1 when the preparation begins.
