NaNoWriMo Prep season begins Sept. 1. This swap is for those who want to do the full preparation course designed by NaNo. It's set up so you "tackle one straightforward preparation exercise" each week leading up to NaNo.

The Course Outline

• Develop a Story Idea (September 13-19)

• Create Complex Characters (September 20-26)

• Construct a Detailed Plot or Outline (September 27 – October 3)

• Build a Strong World (October 4-10)

• Organize Your Life for Writing! (October 11-17)

• Find and Manage Your Time (October 18-24)

Each week has a link with an exercise, discussion and resources.

The page on the NaNo site also includes a free workbook you can download.

For this ELECTRONIC swap: Post a minimum of 6 updates below updating your progress throughout the preparation course. Include your NaNo name. You can make weekly or biweekly updates if you choose, or provide the six updates as you complete each level. TIP: Waiting until the last week of October isn't a good idea. Starting early gives you the advantage of a full preparation for November.

To rate your partner a 5: search for their name below and find all six comments.

We will have some other NaNo Prep swaps throughout September and October.

REMINDER: All group members are officers and can post swaps and forum activities at ANY time.
