On our calendar for the year, it says March is NaNoEdMo - a month of editing. So, two questions:
1. Are we still doing this, or should we plan a different March activity? E.g. planning for Camp NaNo, a writing month.
2. Assuming 'yes' to editing, suggestions for books, articles, workshops etc. to follow for the month?
My answers:
1. In theory, I'm up for an editing/revision month, although looking at the project I have in mind I suspect it's actually going to look more like a planning month.
2.
At-Home Workshop: Revise Your Novel in 31 Days - Fiction University workshop, which I've looked at in the past and I think is too much work for a single month.
Several different version of a method from Chuck Wendig:
