Pre-Nano Planning Panic

a_qI've been writing! A complete mess of a story, but I'm not bothering with anything else but hitting the wordcount every single day. It's actually fun to jump around to from scene to scene, whatever pops my head. And having the bullet journal has helped too, I write my weekly writing plan and then keep ticking it off as I go.
I've been reading the NaNo forums, and everyone seems to have their ducks in the row already (or those who have no idea what they'll do, don't go around telling that :D). I don't know what to write - I was considering maybe doing 5 x 10K stories, because then I could change the story and jump around as much as I like. The problem with that approach is that it actually requires 5x the planning (and strictly speaking isn't even a NaNo).
I would like to write something of my own, but I have no characters or ideas for that, and I don't think I can come up with a working plan in two weeks. So fics it is! Most likely Unconventional Courtship based, because it helps to have a very concise starting point.
Sigh. NaNo is a stressful hobby!
