gamwyn (1:43)
2 years ago 0 + -I didn't plan to write that much. Granted, the first year I had a good amount of time on my hands. Last year, way less time (and I wrote MORE, go figure). This year even less time, so who knows what will happen...
FirstClown (3:06)
2 years ago 0 + -I've tried that too, but I've found that if I plot it out, I don't have fun with it. Snowflake is a good way to go if you want to outline the plot.
gamwyn (3:06)
2 years ago 0 + -I've found I absolutely must outline mine or I'll write myself into an absolutely horrible hole. I really like the Snowflake, because it lets you look at the whole story arch at once. I impressed at your ability to write without pre-plotting!

2 years ago 0 + -OK, first timer here - who or what is Mr Ian Woon?
gamwyn (2:23)
2 years ago 0 + -Mr. Ian Woon is an anagram of "nanowrimo" and I guess it's tradition to have him randomly show up in your novel and kill him off in a strange/bizzare fashion.
panderson...
2 years ago 0 + -Oooh, thank you - with the idea I'm outlining just now, there's a great deal of scope for characters to get killed off in a strange/bizarre fashion...
gamwyn

gamwyn (2:00)
2 years ago 0 + -The idea was sparked back in January, I think, and the title accosted me sometime during March. :-)
