It's much less daunting to just write down a couple of points than to outline a full story when you're on a time constraint.

Sometimes the scene goes differently than expected, but knowing basically where you're going helps prevent one from getting stuck so easily I've found. I'm finally caught up in Camp NaNo as of night before last. XD So I'm almost guaranteed to win! Yay! It will be my first year winning. I've done unofficial Camp NaNos but this will be my first official one lol.<br /><br /><a href="%E2%80%9D//storitorigrace.blogspot.com%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">Stori Tori's Blog</a>Victoria Grace Howellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01849013182543674707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445138433367622139.post-7899102535698722222015-04-23T17:35:59.825-05:002015-04-23T17:35:59.825-05:00Awesome!

I made a valiant effort to keep an outline for this one! But I got so far, and I wasn't expecting to get that far in my plotline, and I ended up on the pansting side of plantsing. :P That led to... /unexpected/ circumstances. After that I didn't know where I was going, so I wound up doing some character sketches, background work, and worldbuilding. :P Once I had done a good bit of that, I felt that I needed to start working on my new outline. :P<br /><br />I'm glad that your Camping has gone so well, Katie! *tosses some confetti on you. It looks distinctly familiar. Probably the same stuff as you got buried in before. :P* Congratulations! :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08745444401384420773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445138433367622139.post-16489148344296999992015-04-22T16:53:25.398-05:002015-04-22T16:53:25.398-05:00I hope it works for you!
