It’s October the first, and that means one thing. National Novel Writing Month is just round the corner.

I’ve got eight articles which will show you how I plan to write a novel, especially this one. While not a guide for how you should write a book, it’s a guide about how you could write one. You’ll get to see information on the novel I am writing and examples from those I have written.

I’m going to aim for two of these a week, and hopefully the next will be up on Thursday.

The list of articles are:

What is NaNoWriMo and why am I reading this?

The Big Idea

Theme and Mood

Characters

Setting

Arc

Scene-by-Scene

These will make sense as time goes on, and hopefully you’ll see some of the organic process of planning a novel.
