NaNo what?

November is National Novel Writing Month. NaNoWriMo. I know I'm dating myself with this next comment, but the first thing I thought when I saw NaNo was, "Isn't that what Mork used to say on the Mork and Mindy Show?" :)

Anyway, if you have a book in your heart why not visit www.NaNoWriMo.org and give November the old college try. You might suprise yourself. If you DON'T have a book in your hear, but you have a book club --- make it a fun plotting party.

To prepare:
Write on slips of paper or index cards the following:
Heroine's name
What the heroine looks like
Hero's name
What the hero looks like
The place
The problem
What's in the way?
How do they come together?

Then, start with the first one and go around the room. By the end of the circle you'll have your own fun story. If you're a real mush-ball like me ... you might even record the scenario and then transcribe it into a little booklet as Christmas/Holiday gifts for your book club friends in December :) The cover? What else a picture of the group.

Happy November!
