Resources - Part One!
Goodness it is already October! That means NaNoWriMo is just around the corner and I have decided that this is my year.
I have decided I am going to use October to the best of my benefit. This includes outlining (phrase/snowflake/etc), plot diagrams, character sheets, and just about anything else I can find that people use. Obviously most people don't go over board through all of this, but I figure if I am going to find a method that works for me I should try as many that make sense.
Another resource I just found is Brandon Sanderson's, a favorite author of mine, creative writing course from BU online at Write About Dragons. The course work involves 50k words written of a new novel. Obviously the students would be doing this during the course but since NaNoWriMo is just around the corner I decided to watch and take notes through all the lectures and put them into practice for November.
Throughout October as I go through these different resources I will post about how well I feel each one has prepared me for November, and HOPEFULLY, through it all be able to mush the parts I like together into something of my own going forward.
