A Different Type of Camp NaNo, Google My Maps, & Pinterest!

So, you may have noticed my lack of Camp NaNo posts.

That’s because my first draft is absolutely pointless. Along with the multitude of activities I am part of this month, I haven’t had the best luck inspiration wise. So, I have been doing this since the 14th, but updated today. My CNN is going to be about…

…

… planning! You know, character plotting, worldbuilding, the tiniest bit of an outline 😉

Now, you may be wondering,

Why didn’t I do this all before?

Answer: Timing and Misinformation.

Timing: I didn’t find out about Camp NaNo until the 21st, and didn’t decide to do it until the 25th. Therefore, I couldn’t do what needed to be done in -4 days!

Misinformation: I was told that you couldn’t plan for Camp NaNo?!? Well, obviously, that was wrong. So, now I’m really behind. So, aforementioned, this is going to be a planning month!

I’m really excited now! I’ll probably give more updates now I have something substantial to work on! My 3 main goals are:

Well Rounded Characters
Developed World (Atlantis)
Basic Outline

If you feel I’ve missed something, please comment!

Google My Maps

~~THIS IS MY SAVIOR FROM ABOVE~~

But seriously.

You can pin important locations to your story, add different layers for the different books, and it even gives a description! I’m using it to help me worldbuild, it’s working great so far!

Pinterest!

I recently restarted using Pinterest, you can find me HERE. I’m under my pen name, April McLauren. ~~(If I ever publish, I have to change my URL again. Joy.)~~ Anyway, maybe you can chack out my boards? I don’t know. Maybe if you got to the end of this post– unlikely. If you did, comment “ice cream” for a surprise!

pinterestly,
