It's that time of year again! Who's planning on flexing those writing endurance muscles this year?
Suggestion before Nov. 1st kicks off: know what you intend to work on.
Make an outline, write a brief summary, make some goals. It doesn't matter if you are a proud pantser or outliner, get your compass out and make sure you have a plan. It makes the whole month easier. It can be as simple as: Character A meets Character B and that leads to plot points 1, 2, and 3 with such-and-such ending in mind. You go into writing knowing that at any moment things can change, but at least you have a direction start in. It sure beats staring at a blank screen with good intentions and feeling a story.
You've got a couple of days, why not do some brainstorming now?
Good luck fellow NaNo'ers!
Don't miss out on each weekly tip!
Tip 1: Stuck? Do Some Jumping
Tip 2: Details, Details, Details
Tip 3: Exposition Help
