NaNoWriMo Survival Kit / How it went
Survival Kit How it went To be honest, I started about a week late and therefore I was super behind from the beginning. It didn’t help that I accidentally left my outlines at work one Friday.

Life Update / Goals
Sorry First and foremost, I want to apologize for yet another unannounced hiatus. I am still working on my time management skills and making realistic schedules for myself.

How I Prepare to Write
Brainstorming Brainstorming is when you write down all the ideas that come to mind. I’ll usually write down the premise (or a very raw version of the premise) when I start. I’d also write down some scenes as they come to mind (again, really raw versions) I’d then write down some names as they comeContinue reading “How I Prepare to Write”
