NaNoTools

Claw-hammerOK, as promised, here's a quick recap of all the fun NaNoWriMo (and other writing project) tools that I have available for download out here.  If you want to just browse the list, you can click here.  Every year, my blog gets hammered (haha, get the pun?) with hits of people looking to download my modified version of Erik Benson's spreadsheet that I have been sharing for the past 7 years or so, and the various other tools and files that I offer out here.

Here's what you will find as the most popular:


  • NaNoWriMo Report Card - OK, this is the 2010 edition (change the date in the start/end dates and it is magically the 2011 edition).  Keeps track of your progress throughout the frantic month of November.
  • Character Profile Sheet - Character profile to help you flesh out your characters.
  • Character Creator - In case you are missing details in your Character Profile Sheet
  • Novel Mind Map - For use in October to visually brainstorm
Beyond that, I have a few other nifty items out there, like a Writing by Numbers spreadsheet that tells you at what point in your novel to make the next big turn, a novel workplan to take you through editing your novel over the course of a year, and more.

As always, I hope you find them all helpful, and I appreciate feedback on any of them.  If I like your feedback, I might just make some enhancements for you.

Throughout October and November, I may have a few other goodies sprinkled in, including some tool recommendations/trials, and maybe some goodies as I continue to play with things in my new favorite environment.  Hint:

  1. Thanks for posting all these worksheets. Now I only have to discipline myself to use them. With NaNo only two days away it doesn't give me much time to get familiar with these tools. This is my fourth year with NaNo. I have won each year but still do not have a finished novel. Maybe this year. :)
