Is all the planning and character development done beforehand--officially?

I could probably look all this up. But I want you guys to explain it to me, if you will. I always have follow-up questions, you know?

Nanowrimo leaves it up to you. I think that "officially", you are supposed to just write but I have seen several people talk about doing character sketches beforehand or laying out a storyline.

I'll be writing something that has been rattling around for a while.

You just get one draft and many folks treat it as their rough draft. The point is to get people to write!
