Anastasia Zoldak (anastasia007) gave the first of our four 2015 preparatory workshops today (2015-10-03), looking at advice for plotters and pantsers, how to use story beats and the consideration of genre. Anastasia presented the workshop since her collaborator Todd Hogan (writertodd07) was unable to make it.
Twenty five enthusiastic participants, including a fair number of first-time NaNoWriMo writers, listened, commented, asked questions and worked on creating milestone sentences in a break out session.
Notes and slides from the workshop are available on our wiki
