Re: Premise questions
Make sure you are answering all of the questions:

(1) Protagonist(s). Who is(are) your main character(s)?
(2) Goal(s). What do they want?
(3) Conflict. What is keeping them from their goal?
(4) Antagonist(s). Who(what) is creating the conflict?

I tend to have the problem of writing premises that are too long and detailed, so usually during NaNo I'll actually have two! The first one, I info dump everything I am thinking into multiple paragraphs. It tends to help me get my thoughts together. Then, I write a second that just addresses these key questions and gives me a little more focus.
