I have just finished writing 3, 785 words of planning for this novel, in detail.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR NANO TO START I AM SO EXCITED

*ahem* These challenges were really helpful as I was writing my planning! Hopefully Nano will go well, but there are a few plot holes and character issues to clean up. After Nano I am going to return, do more challenges, and then hopefully use them as I do a thorough second draft and clean up the Nano mess. Lastly on my final edit, I will refer back to the most useful challenges.

I guess I will see you at the end of November, or perhaps a little during it. Thanks so much for creating these @Aley <3

I have started the planning process for a new novel, which will be my first attempt in the fantasy genre. So, prewriting journal it is :)

It will also be a Snow White retelling, in a way. More info coming soon ^.^

It was interesting reading through someone's method of planning. o.o Maybe I should do some more solid planning if I'm seriously going to write...So far it's just been a bunch of ideas that bounce around in my head until they snowball into a loose story. Once that happens though I procrastinate. I think I'm also a bit hesitant to try to seriously write something...I'm worried that I'll put a lot of work into it and then hate it when I'm done or halfway there.

I guess you could say I was born a traveler..but that's not entirely accurate..I was just born traveling. Never had a home in the physical sense..don't plan to anytime soon.

I've got eight characters I want to flesh out, so this could take some time. Not sure about them yet, so hopefully the profiles will help.

Sky

Spoiler! :
Name: Sky Blue
Age: 17
Sex: Female
Eye Color: Blue (sky coloured, of course.)
Hair Color: Black
Skin Color: White, pale
Height: 1 metre 75 centimetres
Weight: 72 kg
Memorable Features: Her eyes are sharp, and she is the most beautiful girl in the Kingdom.
Race: Human
Ethnicity: Skies (usually beautifully.)
Faults: Is reckless occasionally and doesn't think things through. Isn't made for ruling a kingdom and likes to do what she wants instead of following orders.
Talents: Healing and communicating with animals (through magic).
Family: Mother is deceased, sister is deceased, now has a father and stepmother.
Childhood: Was always in her sisters light and could never see her magic as a good thing because in comparison to other powers, it was fairly useless and isn't seen as a threat. However, she was always closely connected to Snow (her gift dragon) and is very good with working with her.
Source of Income: None yet. As the only heir the kingdom and its riches will be hers one day.
Hobbies: Horse riding, working with Snow, going on adventures and discovering whatever she can.
Patience Breaking Point: Very short temper. When it comes to strangers it takes a long time for her to be bothered by anything, even when they are taking the mick of her. But when it comes to someone within close relationship, scolding her will cause her to become very angry.
Status in Society: Princess of the Kingdom
Biography: Sky Blue is currently heir. She should be spending time learning how to rule the country, swordfight and attend to womanly talents. But she is always out displaying her talents which her father has forbade her to (because they are seen as shameful) and the only lessons she seems to show up for are sword fighting. The majority of the time her and Snow are out, without permission.

However, being offered to work at the palace was an honour and she knew she could support her family from afar much better. She returns to them in her short, yearly holidays and spends the majority of her time tending to Sky and hoping to make her into a good queen someday. Grew close to her and is now more like an older sister to her.
