Reply to this thread to sign up for a two hour workshop on how to plan for NaNoWriMo. The first hour of the workshop will focus on creating strong characters and then for the second hour we'll move on to exploring plot arcs and how to use key locations to our best advantage.

Spoiler
The workshop will take place at the following time, which will automatically adjust for your chosen timezone:

Event Start Time: 16/10/2016 19:00 GMT
End Time: 16/10/2016 21:00 GMT*

*Please see below for alternative times.

If you're in the UK, remember to adjust from GMT to BST - add 1 hour.

You can come for both hours or just the part of the workshop which you feel will be of most benefit to you and I'm going to cap the numbers at 10 people per session so please say 'part 1', 'part 2' or 'both' when you sign up. A link to a pad will be e-mailed to participants on the day of the workshop.

I'd love to attend the character's workshop, but unfortunately timezones prevent me.
We're all stories in the end.

Sorry @Mea :/ What timezone are you? If this proves popular and I think there are enough people to run another of either/ both I'll try to do one at the other end of the time chart!

If there's enough people willing and you have the time, that would be awesome. I'm GMT+9, so right now they're very early Monday morning for me. :P

Yeah, I think I'll sign up for the plot one on the 16th.
S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse
a persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma per ciò che giammai di questo fondo
non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero,
senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.

Inferno, Canto 27, l 61-66.
