The hardest part of Nanowrimo for me is knowing where to take the story next. I usually get a decent start, but then the plot peters out after the first week because I don’t know what to make happen between the catalyst and the climax.
If that’s your problem, check back here occasionally before the end of November. Using the handy Beat Sheet Calculator, I will be posting plot guidelines based on Blake Snyder’s Beat Sheet throughout the month to help you know exactly where you should be in your story.
