Novel Kicks Writing Room: Making a Plan

Hello Wednesday and I’m pleased to be welcoming everyone back to the Novel Kicks Writing Room. 

I don’t know about you but I am a big planner when it comes to my daily life. I don’t always keep to the schedule but it’s the thought that counts right? Haha.

So, today is all about making a plan – a plan for your character.

Grab an A4 piece of paper and down one side, write the times out as if you were looking at a diary –

7am – 

8am- 

9am… 

…and so on until you get to 11pm. 

Once you’ve done that, either pick someone from a piece you’re working on or alternatively you could pick a character from the list below –

Dentist

Ballerina

Lawyer

A Parking Attendant

A Spy 

Plan out their day using the calender you’ve created. Try and have fun with it. For example, if you picked a dentist, could they be planning to go hand gliding?

Did completing the calender give you a better sense of the person? Did it spark any more ideas?

I’m Laura. I started Novel Kicks in 2009. I wanted a place to post my writing as well as give other writers like me the opportunity to do the same. There is also a monthly book club, a writing room which features writing prompts, book reviews, competitions, author interviews and guest posts.

I grew up by the sea (my favourite place in the world) and I currently live in Hampshire. I am married to Chris, have a cat named Buddy and I would love to be a writer. I’m trying to write the novel I’ve talked so much about writing if only I could stop pressing delete. I’ve loved writing since creative writing classes in primary school. I have always wanted to see my teacher Miss Sayers again and thank her for the encouragement. When not trying to write the novel or writing snippets of stories on anything I can get my hands on, I love reading, dancing like a loon and singing to myself very badly. My current obsession is Once Upon a Time and I would be happy to live with magic in the enchanted forest surrounded by all those wonderful stories provided that world also included Harry Potter. I love reading chick lit. contemporary fiction and novels with mystery.
