NaperWriMo Blog

For the first time in our young NaNoWriMo region’s history (we were first a separate region in 2005), our NaNoWriMo kick-off is in October instead of November. It’s this Saturday (October 4th). We chose this date because there are invariably people who come to the kick-off who never have heard of NaNo before; and when they find out what it is, it is difficult for them to prepare for it and start writing the same day.

Here is the program:

• 12:30 – 1:05 — Greetings
• 1:05 – Icebreaker (help people get in the mood for NaNo!)
• 1:20 – Plot (a four step exercise in plot development)
• 1:45 – Nanowrimo information, answer questions, hand out hPDA’s
• 2:00 – Writing exercise on Characters
• 2:30 – Using Resources (Information Bazaar)

Excited? Be sure to introduce yourself in our regional forum. And celebrate the return of nanowrimo.org to the land of the living!
