Here is a list of things I need to do before Nov.1st
1. Outline my novel
2.Research on the topic for my book ( My book is called Back Stabber) so I will research bullying, hazing, etc
3. Give my two main characters a full live from child to high school. Which includes, a birthdate, Zodiac Sign, Blood type, and a personality. ( Characters must be real people although they are fiction.)
4. Get my book cover done
5. Work on time management with the upcoming month. ( I'm also in school and have my own publishing company.)
6. Go over research and revise my outline if need be.
Suggested Materials for Nano:
1. Note cards
2. Pens/Pencils
3. Different color high liters
4. Laptop/Netbook/Macbook Pro ( Whatever you have)
5. I suggest you use other books that helps with Character Development, and your writing skills. (For me I have Dynamic Characters by Nancy Kress (Great Book!) , Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott and Plot &Structure by James Scott Bell
6. Get into your comfy place when starting to write your novel.
7. Have your snack and drinks available. ( Must have high energy when writing)
8. Find out what time of day works for you when writing. ( For me I write best after 1 am for some reason).
9 Finally, BREATHE and RELAX. It will be okay. I know it may seem stressful especially if you have a job and/or family. but you can do it! I will be your cheerleader!
10. Write On
You Can Do It!!!
