Plot Development Month

It only just hit me last night as I was writing in my night journal that next month is National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as NaNoWriMo. So, if you’re thinking of joining in the fun this November perhaps you should consider October as your plot development month. It doesn’t take long to work up character profiles. Usually the plot develops out of these people’s lives, anyway. I’m sure you already have characters just waiting to tell their stories. Your writer’s journal is a great place to develop your plot.

Will you be writing a 50,000 word novel this November? What are your favourite methods for plot development. I’m not sure about the challenge myself, not yet, anyway. Maybe some of you can convince me. Please leave any comments in the section below.
