Plot Planning, Day 2

So you have a word count goal.

You also have a protagonist, an antagonist, and your conflict.

Now you get to

outline your plot!

Woo! 

1. Copy and paste this document into your English Journal if you did not do it yesterday.
2. Begin outlining your plot by following the directions.
3. When it asks for paragraphs, you should be writing paragraphs.
4. If you need to review any part of plot from what you should have read for homework, here is a link to the NaNoWriMo Handbook

Plot Planning

Do you have a book out yet?

Remember that NaNoWriMo handbook you downloaded to your desktop last week? I have also put a link to it in the sidebar on this website under "Useful Links." It says "NaNoWriMo Handbook." Quite a bit of what we have been doing lately has come from this handbook, and I know that much of the advice you read last Friday told you it's helpful. Spend some time reading through it when you get a chance.

Today:

Goal #1 - NaNoWriMo Word Count Goal:

• We still need to set word count goals for NaNoWriMo!
• Go to the NaNoWriMo website: ywp.nanowrimo.org
• We'll talk about the next part when we get here.

Goal #2 - Plot Planning

• Open the handbook.
• Read from page 19 to page 26
• Read about the elements of plot.
• Copy and paste this document into your English Journal. I even put the correct date on it for you.
• Begin to work through it using the plot you are creating for your own novel.

T Minus Five Days until NaNoWriMo starts!

Bonus! In case you hadn't thought of a costume for your cat yet, I've got you covered:
