The 2011 TPM NaNoWriMo Support Group - Final Week Underway!

[Crystal Tears]

You guys plan things? I literally just sit down and write whatever comes to mind. Whether its an original piece of fanfiction, planning seems to bog me down.

The last time I completed NaNoWriMo, I just winged it. I hated the finished piece but I ended with like 50 012 words. XD

I plan things these days. I used to just write and see where it took me, but that makes it an extremely painful process when you try to actually wrap up some very significant mysteries and plot points that were signposted way back when in the story. So I always have some kind of basic plan these days, if not a list of important events/scenes for each chapter, which is what I've moved toward lately.

Last time you did NaNoWriMo, was it starting from scratch?
