    Quick questions:

    1) Do we necessarily have to post our planning/research out in our posts?

    2) When can we actually start posting our story

    If anyone can answer I would appreciate it, if you please.
    Thank you,
    Oxara

    Hi Oxara! From the challenge info thread in the club forum, regarding posting the story:

    The first month will ideally be spent on planning, and the second and third month will be spent writing the story. You can plan and write at your own pace, but we will have the more official timeline.
    So June 1st will be the first official day to begin planning or writing your story in its entirety. This is intended to be a NaNo-esque kind of challenge, so if you have parts of a story pre-written, I'd probably talk to the challenge admins about that.

    I'm not an official of the club, so I'll leave your first question up to our lord and savior @PlanBot or the wonderful @lordwolf, but I'm pretty sure it's expected to see at least some of your planning laid out in your club thread. That is, after all, the function of the first month in the official timeline!

    Keep in mind also that there's a challenge ongoing for creating Research, Writers Corner, and Writing Tips threads related to your project! We could all stand to make some good use of our Resources ;D

    I had assumed so, However i was starting to write a bit of a story (With outlining) and Just was curious. I plan to just write that story and when LMS comes around join as a rouge with it.

    That gives me the time (or rather save the effort of reformatting my outline) to write the plans in the format. Plus the research and planning is rather unique so it will be fun!

    Thank you

    As Raye said, an optional part of the challenge is to post your planning and/or research in the appropriate Resources section threads. A Writers Corner thread is, just by the way, really good for organizing Character Profiles.
    It is not required to post your planning details, as long as you are verifying throughout the challenge that you are planning. To verify this, I would prefer if you posted at least one CP and/or scene summary.
    Any words written after the first day of June count towards the challenge, though the optimal timeline is the first day of July. This is up to you as long as you are not counting any words written before the official start date of June 1st, 2019.

    If you have anymore questions, be sure to let me know.



Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
