NaNoWriMo: Plot Workshop

Do you want to write the next great American novel?

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is an annual internet-based creative writing project that takes place during the month of November. Participants attempt to write a 50,000-word manuscript between November 1st and November 30th.

This 2-hour program will help you plot your novel before NaNoWriMo begins. This workshop has been an annual favorite since 2015. This workshop will help you develop an outline of a plot for your NaNoWriMo novel. You’ll learn how to lay out the three acts of your story and how to define your protagonists and antagonists and their goals, plus you will walk away with a full outline for your novel.

The workshop method is based on The Busy Writer's One-Hour Plot by Marg McAlister (available as a Kindle e-Book), but the book is not required reading to complete the workshop.
