This is my first year participating with NaNoWriMo 2014    

A 50,000 word novel in the month of November.

I have tied up my loose ends and gotten my schedule clear and warned my family to only disturb me if they have Cokes or Chocolate.

To date
I have written a character out line for the main character.
Planned some temporary Chapter Titles
Created a story outline that has been revised at least twice
Printed out guidelines for my story that have to do with
     Elements of a good scene
     Story Development and Revision Worksheet
     Plot and Conflict flow sheet
     Plot template.

Today is my last day to plan and I will be filling out all of my worksheets and flow charts and posting them on the wall.

I will try every day to at least give a summary of the work I did for the day and perhaps just a taste of some of the work I have done. My web page does not allow me space to do that so I thought blogging would be a good work space for that.

I am learning what makes a good novel. I am also learning that the only way to learn to write... is to WRITE. Butt in seat, Hands on keys!
