Introduction
So it begins, my first National November Writer’s Month Camp! But it’s hardly November you might wonder and
NaNoWriMo definitely hosts this three times a year: April, July and November. The camp offers plenty of exciting tools in
NaNo Prep 101 .
My Game Plan
I am going to follow Story Genius by Lisa Cron to create my short story in my fantasy world I created for my table top roleplaying game with polished 4000 word goal for the story itself with 3 1500 words flash backs for my protagonist’s backstory to flesh out the character. This means I have total of 8500 words total to work with.
Updates
