 Pat Trainum (who writes as Patricia Bradley) was the speaker for our May meeting. Here are her notes on plotting and planning.
Are you a Plotter or Panster or Tweener? Plotter: Outlines every scene, labels them action/reaction, has an Excel spreadsheet listing each scene, has ever plot point (turning point) fixed. That’s not to say his characters can’t suddenly surprise him and take the story in another direction, but when it does, he goes back and re-outlines. Her joy comes in the outlining. This is where she discovers her story. NaNoNICE (The MN-NICE Version of NaNoWriMo) will be held at Stacy's house this Sunday, November 10.
Doors open at 3:00pm for those who want to get some serious writing done. Official start for NaNoNICE is 5:00pm. We're also holding elections for new Board officers. A brief meeting plust voting will take place at 6 pm. Stacy will provide pulled pork sandwiches, coffee, and water. Those attending are asked to bring something to share - veggies, chips, fruit, chocolate, dessert,pop, etc. Watch the MN NICE loop for Stacy's contact information. |
