PREPTOBER VLOG: Juggling 2 WIPs 🤪 - Outlining a novel, Writing a Synopsis, & 1st chapter critique

This Preptober Vlog has everything. I'm working on two WIPs at once: the Regency romance I wrote last year and have been revising ever since PLUS outlining a second book for NaNoWriMo. It's going pretty well so far, to be honest. For book one in my Regency romance series, I'm working on a synopsis as well as revising my 1st chapter based on the chapter critique I received back. For book two in the series, I'm working on outlining it so I can (hopefully) draft during NaNoWriMo 2023.

It's a lot to handle, but I'm enjoying everything so far (well, except the synopsis, but that's to be expected).

How's your prepping for NaNoWriMo going so far? Do you hardcore outline or are you more of a pantster? What genre are you writing in currently?
