We pantsers have it easy? We have to do what you do in years in mere minutes! :D
Ha ha, fair enough π I couldn't do it on the fly, certainly not fantasy fiction anyway. I think I could maybe try flying by my pants with a literary fiction or crime drama, I'm too deep down the rabbit hole now though π
Try it next year. I always have a year specific challenge for NaNo.
Doing it the pantser way sounds like a good opportunity do learn something.
