NoNoWriMo - round 2

So, how much planning is allowed for #NaNoWriMo? Last year did none -- well bits of the story had been in my head for a while and the novel which emerged 2 months later did what I wanted which was really gratifying--in fact, it's made me the happiest of anything I've written. This time round I've been throwing things together jig-saw fashion. Scenes interspersed with commentary and questions. And of course I'm reading up on Scottish animal life so that when the protagonist sees a squirrel, or otter, or mink, it's in the right place at the right time doing what it should amongst a detritus of the right kind of leaves for the season. i've not written anything so overtly European fantasy before and I'm keen that it feels authentic, even though it will be fantastic, not mimetic.
