Prepping for NaNoWriMo

I spent a little time after dinner tonight updating my author bio on the NaNoWriMo site, then entering the title and a brief synopsis for this year's NaNoWriMo novel. Here's the synopsis:
The struggling grand resort hotel, Spindrift, on the coast of Maine has a new public relations/events director who is bringing fresh and new ideas to the antiquated hotel. The elderly owner and CEO's health is failing so his architect son who lives in Boston has been summoned to Maine to help determine the fate of the landmark resort. Seth Sherbourne has no interest in the resort that he and his sisters have referred to as "the old dinosaur" since they were teenagers residing in the family apartment there. But young, recently hired Lydia WIndsor is full of bright ideas. She has a fiery passion for the sprawling hotel. Elliott Sherbourne sees her as the future of the Spindrift, but his son disagrees, scoffing at her every idea, wanting to just close the hotel and be done with it as soon as his father passes away. Seth's mother, Grace Sherbourne, sees her younger self in Lydia and hopes that the girl's enthusiasm and love of the Spindrift will rub off on Seth before it's too late to save "the old dinosaur" from extinction, but the two young people only seem to rub one another the wrong way, leaving the future of the Spindrift looking very bleak indeed.

Let's see if I can pull this one off in 30 days or less!
