I shall look it up thanks :) Good luck to you too!<br /><br />Ann Marie - I do love a good quote :) I have all sorts of "daily quote" emails sent to me. It helps to get a fleeting few seconds of perspective squeezed into my day :)<br /><br />I'm with you on that one - I look forward to forcing myself to stop planning and start writing. I could probably plan for the rest of my life. This is where NaNoWriMo will be so useful to me!

Not sure yet what my schedule will be, and there are these drafts kicking around in need of revision . . .Ann Marie Gamblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524023358327369037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524691656902294667.post-49685925387838197052011-10-04T07:20:54.614+01:002011-10-04T07:20:54.614+01:00I recommend Scrivener for outlining and writing yo...I recommend Scrivener for outlining and writing your novel, but Dramatica Pro looks interesting. I do like questions.<br /><br />Planning and not taking my plot too seriously is key for me finishing the last two years.<br /><br />Good luck with your preparation and get out to the events if you can.Benjamin Solahhttp://benjaminsolah.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524691656902294667.post-75898773064245886542011-10-02T17:51:03.115+01:002011-10-02T17:51:03.115+01:00I've never heard of Dramatica Pro!

I've been toying with yWriter5 to help with my outlining, have you used that before? <br /><br />300 questions, ooft! Don't worry, my fellow tortoise, I'm sure we'll get there :)<br /><br />Consider me your new writing buddy :) I shall mail you... good luck too! xCatherine Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779799397032396279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524691656902294667.post-22997252239622631252011-10-02T16:32:31.238+01:002011-10-02T16:32:31.238+01:00Believe me, you aren't the only tortoise right...Believe me, you aren't the only tortoise right now! As I type, I am literally forcing myself to use Dramatic Pro in order to get my characters, title, synopsis and outlines done and dusted. <br /><br />(Dramatica Pro is great by the way, it asks you roughly 300 questions in order to build up the outlines and whatnot for you in one nice neat document)<br /><br />I'm so far behind, honestly. It's not even funny. It was only at 4am this morning that I finally decided on a first name (not a full name) for one - yes, ONE - of my characters. And a very brief description. Nothing more, nothing less. Just.... the basics. VERY basics.<br /><br />So yeah, I'm a tortoise if ever there was one!<br /><br />Quick question; would you object to maybe becoming writing buddies? We live in roughly the same area, we've both got blogs, we've both got other, outside things that (unfortunately) HAVE to take priority... So yeah :) Let me know, get me on twitter, or e-mail me at Pandrawr@live.com :)<br /><br />And lastly, best of luck with your planning! <3Panda Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06892773068695498636noreply@blogger.com
