Novel Planning Deep Dive (NaNo Prep Workshop)

To help those preparing for National Novel Writing Month (November), Novel Planning Deep Dive will provide a walk-through of fantasy author Phillip M. Locey's novel-planning process. He will cover everything from the moment of first inspiration to identifying sources of conflict within the plot. Even if you don't plan to participate in NaNoWriMo, if you're an author in the planning stages of your next fictional work, this workshop can deliver insight into the logical steps required to flesh out a compelling narrative and make sure all the major elements of a well-rounded novel are accounted for.
