If you're anything like me, you've planned novels, started them, then realized you didn't feel like writing it. You feel that you know the story, so what's the point. Then, when you attempt improv writing without a plan, you don't know where to take it. Well, this activity is meant to help you write a novel in 30 days.
Everyday, I will post a new paragraph laying the basic structure of the novel. You will then use this paragraph as the basis for that chapter/part. You can decide on the length. These posts will be very general so each book will be entirely different. Things like "character is introduced/re-united with someone who they will develop/strengthen a relationship with throughout the next 8 parts." There will be more to each part, with that just being a tiny bit of it. This allows you to do whatever you want while following that guideline. The relationship could be friendship, romantic, or family-based. It's completely up to you.
My goal is that this will also keep people from "burning out" over the course of the book from writing too much at once. Even if a person were to write only 3 pages a day, they would still get a 90 page book. Can't write that day? Well you can incorporate those elements in the next days or do a double-dose of writing. So, onto Part 1!
Part 1:
Introduce your character who is about to have something great happen to them. They can either want this or not. They should be aware of this event. Have someone close to the character be directly involved in the event. Through their response to the time leading to the actual event, have this character obviously be bothered by something that has recently happened. This may or may not be related to the event. End the part as the event is starting.
I too will be partaking in this event. If you're interested in this, post below.
