Hi everyone! I need a break from work, so here is my introductory post. I'm Teri. I tried Nanowrimo a few years ago and failed miserably - I think I wrote 700 words. But after talking about it with Angela, and getting tips from Toby about how he handled the challenge, I've been inspired again. I have a vague novel idea anyway, and would like to really flesh it out. At this stage I think just bashing out words is the best approach, and then I'll be able to get a handle on what I need to really complete the thing. My goal is not really to have a novel by the end of the month, but to have a lot of material to work from on a go-forward basis, if that makes sense. I work best on a deadline. I already have about 6000 words - I hope it's not considered cheating to work from that. I don't really care about "cheating" anyway.
Has anyone done this before? How are you going to do it? Are you plotting in advance?
Thanks to the two lovely mods for setting this up :)
