Fleshing out Ideas
October 8th 2007 21:16
So let's say you have a vague idea about your story, but nowhere near enough material to stretch it out over 50,000 words. What do you do?
Whenever I am in this situation when I have one or two characters and a handful of good scenes, I use writing prompts to generate more ideas. Daily writing prompt communities like Prompt A Day will also give you the chance to write something every day - an invaluable exercise if you want to do NaNoWriMo successfully.
(My laptop is still behaving weird and it keeps crashing on me. Hopefully it will get fixed by next weekend, though, and I will finally be able to write loads of posts full with my tried and tested methods that will hopefully get you through NaNoWriMo, too. So cross your fingers for me!)
