Nanowrimo 2008

participant_120x90_mug.png Yes, it happened again this year.  Book four of the five got enough written on it to get me across the finish line.  I found focus this year.  I used The Marshall Plan Workbook to get me focused on who is in the story.  I have so many characters that I can use to tell the story that I needed the help.  I am so glad I did. I had read about managing viewpoint by reading Writing Fiction.  That was a book I found through one of the Ravelry Nano-ers.  She had a quote from it that really intrigued me and on that alone, I bought the book. I read all the way through it in preparation for Nano.  I didn’t read the stories though.  I won’t do that until I get into the editing part of the process.

The other book I used was Story Architecture.  That helped me decide how I was going to tell the story.  She takes all the plots and combining classifications, gave me a better view of how to manage what has to happen to make what I am writing, a story.

(I know this isn’t a very good description of what I want to say.  I’m tired.  It’s the end of the month and I have spent the day doing cleanup.  I posted the log and want to write this part also.  It can wait.)
