Teens Planning for CampNaNo

June and August are coming fast upon us, the challenge to write 50K in a month again looming upon us. What are you doing for Camp?

Me? I'm planning for it. What's your planning style?

I am coming up with plot, and character, and come up with a few things I want to happen, and that is about it.

Working on basic characters. Name. Where they're from. A slight backstory. And also an overall arc. I want to do a collection of shorts for June and an actual novel in August, so I have to plan for a lot more stories than I usually do at a time... But I don't develop too much ahead of time or I get sick of the story before I get close to done.

I'm planning in Scrivener already, chapter by chapter and scene by scene (slowly), along with background information. After having no more than a vague idea when I first did NaNo, I am going to the other extreme now! ...I hope I don't burn out. But I don't think I will.

I'm creating intensely detailed character profiles, and getting all research done beforehand, because I wasted far too much time in November searching for pointless little things- such as names. I'm creating most of the characters beforehand.

I'm definitely participating and am planning my characters right now. I'll probably start writing a chapter synopsis soon, too.

I've already got my character profiles and physical descriptions. Now I'm actually in the process of outlining so I don't keep blathering on and on like I did in November. So far things seem to be going rather well...hopefully that's indicative of a trend.

I'm very excited for Camp! I'm looking forward to more writing time. :D

I am doing it both months, but I'm in a pickle. I forgot about Script Frenzy. Completely. And now it's like a month away. Since I don't have time to come up with another character thing and plot and everything, one of my books will also be a script! I don't know how well it's going to work though...

I've got all the characters and the setting fixed, but I'm still working out the plot in my head.

I'm thinking about doing CampNaNo....if I can get my story plotted out enough before then. I have several different stories that I want to writer, so that's not a problem...I just need to map them out.

i'm just trying to find a way to fit it into my uberpacked schedule...

I'm winging it--well, mostly. :T I planned a lot of my novel last year, which never got finished, so my plan for this year; do next to absolutely nothing!

Besides a few basic details, I have squat. Now I'm just waiting for June.
