more nano stuff

[green]

I made an outline using mindmapping software called FreeMind. It's free and it's AWESOME.

tinypic resized my outline, but you can get a pretty good idea of what I did if you squint



So anyway, Nano is going to be Frank/Gerard, sci-fi, future with robot overlords, Logan's Run fusion (with some changes, but really not many. I'm staying pretty close to the film but not the book or the series or the comics). :D?

The question I need you guys to answer is: should I post it as I go along?

I was awed of your mindmap, and so I downloaded FreeMind. But it quickly became apparent that I have no idea how to outline; I cannot even figure out how to use the cheater outline software. Brain fail.

I usually outline after I've written quite a bit of my story (or my whole first draft) because it's easier that way for me. Outlining can be hard to do and it's not for everyone!

Am all for posting it as you go along, the encouragement (and/or pressure!) might push you to go on. As a general rule I think you should have ~2 chapters unposted at any point in time though, so even if you're stuck at any point in time you can post those 2 as a buffer and feel good about still being able to put something up. 8D

Thank you for the input! I'm definitely leaning towards posting as I go along. :)

Robot overlords = AWESOME.

And your mindmap is seriously impressive. Let me know if you need cheerleading or audiencing or whatever. <333! (That is, I can't say if you should post it as you go or not. Go with your gut; I'll be reading it whenever you want to post it.)

I think I will probably post it as I go along. Thank you for offering your cheerleading services! :D

oh cool. it's kinda like OneNotebook....like writing drawing outlining etc.?

[green]

I have never heard of OneNotebook so I don't know if it's like that or not. You can't draw on it or insert pictures other than preset icons, I don't think.

[mizubyte]

ah OneNotebook (maybe OneNote?) is this software that comes with Microsoft Office Student. You can draw, highlight, write, tag things, insert attachments, pictures, URLs... etc.

It's excellent for taking notes in class. Probably for outlining a story too, but you are much more organised than I am about NaNoWri :-)
