A Month Of Writing For NanoWriMo-Pre Planning

Well, this year will be my third year of partaking in “The National Novel Writing Month” aka “NaNoWriMo”. It is a fun event for anyone who loves to write, or wants to try a new thing. It starts November 1st and ends the 30th. You have to enter 50,000 by the 30th. October is the time to pre-plan your story.

What it is about? the plot?characters ?and their bios?. You need an outline. It is very important to plan if you want to make that goal of 50,000 words. This is based on my opinion and experience. We all have our own styles.

I use a laptop/desktop, flash drive to backup and save my draft, binder to keep my outlines and notes, notebook paper and plan paper, and pencil, pens, highlighters, and erasers.

To write my stories I use Word, goggle docs, or Open Office that is like the Microsoft Word.

“Remember folks, that all you are looking at is a first draft, not a finished novel.  So hesitate to take chances and just play with it and most important is just have fun.”

I will be doing video blogs on my YouTube channel as often as I can to let you know my status along with trying to keep up on all my other blogs as well as Face book and twitter.

Please feel free to follow me and even contact me. I posted a Vblog on this, so please see the link below.
