Room planning resource!
With EsNoWriMo starting in just 6 hours and 21 minutes, I am chomping at the bit to get started. I was scheduled to fly to Philadelphia at 1:40 today, but unfortunately that time coincided with an hour long lightning storm here in Toronto.
They rebooked me, but my new flight leaves at 9:20. Yikes. So, a total of about 9 hours in the airport today, and I can't even write my novel!
I mentioned this to my cabinmates over at Camp NaNoWriMo and someone suggested I do a bit of room planning, using this online resource: http://www.urbanbarn.com/Room-Planner.
Confession time: I have never thought about planning rooms. When I do describe settings in my novels, they are usually based on places I've already been (my own house, a bar I used to go to in San Francisco) or they are completely imaginary. The details are sketchy, and I never usually revisit them. It occurs to me now that actually planning out rooms can help me use up valuable words when I'm stuck.
With about 3 hours left until boarding, I think I know what I can do!
