Plot Planning

Do you have a book out yet?

Remember that NaNoWriMo handbook you downloaded to your desktop last week? I have also put a link to it in the sidebar on this website under "Useful Links." It says "NaNoWriMo Handbook." Quite a bit of what we have been doing lately has come from this handbook, and I know that much of the advice you read last Friday told you it's helpful. Spend some time reading through it when you get a chance.

Goal #1 - NaNoWriMo Word Count Goal:

• We still need to set word count goals for NaNoWriMo!
• Go to the NaNoWriMo website: ywp.nanowrimo.org
• We'll talk about the next part when we get here.

Goal #2 - Plot Planning

• Open the handbook.
• Read from page 19 to page 26
• Read about the elements of plot.
• Copy and paste this document into your English Journal. I even put the correct date on it for you.
• Begin to work through it using the plot you are creating for your own novel.

T Minus Five Days until NaNoWriMo starts!

Bonus! In case you hadn't thought of a costume for your cat yet, I've got you covered:
