Novel Writing

NaNoWriMo, a now defunct organization that offered an annual novel writing challenge, offered guidance on writing a 50,000 word novel in a month.  Preparation can start earlier! Their website outlined starting in the month before with:

1. Developing a Story Idea
2. Creating Your Characters
3. Constructing Your Plot and Outlining the Story
4. World-Building
5. Organizing Your Life for Writing
6. Find and Manage Your Time

You'll be ready to write, write, write the following month!
