I post these every year, and every year, there are a few more to be posted. Here's a collection of guides and resources I've been compiling for quite some time, now. If you have any questions, or any requests, feel free to ask.

PLOT RESOURCE POST


You ever wonder what's that website that lists surnames with the meaning and where they come from?

Is your Google Fu failing you today?

This will become your new best friend.


If you have a website that has INVALUABLE information and you'd love to pass it along, reply in the comments with the link and some info for it. If you are curious if someone has a specific generator or where you can find Celtic flag rituals or ANYTHING, just reply with a question and hopefully someone can answer! We'll keep this going in and through NaNo, so that people can come back and reference it.

Have fun. Share your knowledge. Plot hardcore.

It's getting close to November again! I am writing a Choose Your Own Adventure-style novel this year, so I am going crazy trying to plan everything out. I've updated my spreadsheets from last year for you lovely people.

First off, my Word War spreadsheet is a lot of fun. It's set up for up to four people, but if you needed to run wars for a more than that, you could just copy the tab to get four more spaces. Cool things it can do, blatantly copy/pasted from my post last year and the year before )

Next, this "Report Card" word count tracking spreadsheet is my baby. I started out using the one posted here a few years ago, but then I started modifying it. By now, it is so heavily modified it doesn't even look like the original anymore, and it does a LOT more while still being pretty easy to use. *I* think it's pretty keen, but then I might be biased. I have two flavors available for you. First I have the version WITHOUT scene info here- this one is for the seat-of-the-pants writers who don't plan, or writers who don't plan on exact numbers of scenes or chapters. The second version includes scene information, and it is here. This one is for the planners.
Cool things it can do- more modified copy pasta )

Finally, I've also uploaded my Calendar. This one doesn't do anything fancy, it's just a nifty thing to print off and carry around. I'm co-ML for the Dallas/Fort Worth region, and I always print these out to give to my Wrimos at the Kick-Off party, and then I keep little star stickers with me at all times. We all love putting stickers on each day as we hit the given word count quota, so I though I'd share it with y'all who aren't in my region :)

And, just like last year, if there is anything anyone wants added to either spreadsheet, to track your own personal stats, drop me a line and I'll see about fitting it in. I like playing in Excel, and I like challenges, so don't hesitate to ask! Similarly, if anything gets borked in your copy of the Report Card, I can try to help you out.
