  1. A Novel Writing Club

  2. Thanks for being interested in Scribbleblots! This Powerpoint will give you basic information on Scribbleblots The co-presidents (Melissa Magner, Michelle Cen, and Ashley Chen) are still working on this club and what’s stated in this Powerpoint isn’t final If the club garners enough interest, it will be created next fall at Saratoga High School For the club’s creation we need 15-20 potential members. If you know anybody who might be interested, send them this Powerpoint

  3. What is Scribbleblots? A club that will guide you in writing a novel It’s meant to be fun as well as enriching. This isn’t a strict club. Relax.

  4. Membership Requirements 1st requirement: You are passionate about novel-writing This means that you want to learn more about novel-writing and know you will be motivated to work on your novel for months (it does NOT mean you have to be “good” at writing) 2nd requirement: You are willing to start a new novel If you’re already working on a novel or want feedback on a completed one, that is fine. You will have to introduce these works later, though, as we would like everyone to start off with a new novel so lessons are relevant to all.

  5. Meetings Scribbleblots will meet bimonthly To be determined: meeting time, day, and location Each meeting includes a lesson about writing your novel You will share your work during meetings. Everyone is there to help you

  6. What should I bring to each meeting? A notebook (optional, you may take notes on your own computer) A folder to store handouts A pen/pencil The file your novel is stored on A laptop if you have one

  7. After Meetings: Making Progress in your Novel Outside of meetings you are expected to work on your novel Everyone in Scribbleblots should be interested in working on their novel in their own time. If working alone on it feels too much like homework, ask yourself if you want to be in Scribbleblots

  8. NaNoWriMo http://www.nanowrimo.org/ November is a special time for Scribbleblotters Goal: 1 completed novel (at least 50k words) in 1 month The point is not to come out with a finished manuscript, but to finally write that novel you’ve been putting off Participation is highly recommended

  9. NaNoWriMo (cont.) NaNoWriMo requires dedication and we understand high school can get in the way of this commitment You can drop out if you find it too time consuming More information about NaNoWriMo will be given as November approaches

  10. Scribbleblots Website and Forum The Scribbleblots website (scribbleblots.wordpress.com) is public and will have lesson summaries, updates, individual writing profiles (optional), and contact information The Scribbleblots forum (scribbleblots.proboards.com) is private; only members have access to it. There, people can exchange manuscripts, get critiques, and receive writing help/support

  11. I’ve seen this Powerpoint and I want to join Great! Please tell one of the co-presidents (Melissa Magner, Ashley Chen, or Michelle Cen) and tell them you’re interested. You may also email: scribbleblots@gmail.com Thank you for your interest!
