Planning Your Novella
Planning your story doesn’t have to be boring! We live in the age of apps, cool technology and online resources.
Or, if you’re more a traditional soul, a simple mind-map can work wonders.
If you’re not one for hand-written plans, apps like Trello, Slack or even the calendar on your phone can be helpful.
You could plan to write your novella in three weeks. Week One could be figuring out your story’s premise and fleshing out the plot; Week Two could be writing the start and end; and The Third Week could be dedicated to tying up any lose ends.
The best thing about these methods?
They’re portable and easy to work with, meaning you can work on your masterpiece while on the way to work, in your favourite café or while out on a walk.
This video contains some useful tips for plotting your novella.
