Today we're bringing you the first of our #Preptober tips and it's all about PLOTTING 📝

Do you usually plot out your stories? If not, are you considering doing so for FicWriMo, or are you going to jump in and hope for the best?

I am Crystal Bayless. I'm 34 years old. My current work in progress that is mainly what I'm working on is Rutello: Shadow of the Crown which is my #preptober, #Nano2, and #FirstDraftFall book.

Day 8: 5 Sensory Details:

The coal dust clung like tar to their exhausted bodies. Its sulfuric smell left a bitter tang on the tongue, each breath felt like inhaling shards of glass, as the clink of frantically pounding axes hit solid stone non-stop. (1/2)

It's almost #NaNoWriMo time. Should I break out the idea jar and start #Preptober?

Preptober Tip: Starting your outline on November 1st is like assembling IKEA furniture in the dark without the instruction booklet. 🦔

Lock in your characters, settings, and chapter roadmap before the panic sets in.

My NaNoWriMo idea is for folks to just keep doing it, the old fashioned way.

We doesn't need fancy infrastructure. Share your progress with like minded people however you are able.

I'm doing it this year. Who's with me?

Cordelia's home is a castle in a prairie with trees.

NaNoWriMo the nonprofit closed in 2025, but writers still draft a novel every November. Where to join in 2026, plus a day-by-day word count calendar.
