For this workshop, we plan to have group activities with different options available (at different tables). People can move between tables or an entire table can shift from one option to another.  Our tentative plan is:

• Option 1: Website information--sign-up for Nano, examine website, Jabber chat example, web resources -- bring your laptop if you're interested in this option (although we'll have one or two available.)
• Option 2a: Plot development for those who don't have their plot started.
• Option 2b: Plot development for those who have their plot started, but want to focus on what else can go wrong for their characters.
• Option 3: Setting: Work on describing your opening location, or a key scene. Bring in more senses.
• Option 4: Chars: Place in a situation-what would X do? Examples could include a) someone gave them a kitten to take care of for a week. b) they had $50 to buy groceries as part of a group (each member had $50 each--all contributing) c) list their biggest fears d) What is your char most proud of?
• Option 5: 10 big scenes: Start listing out the ten major scenes that will occur in your story.
• Hand out information, hipsters, bottles.
• Q & A
