Some of these tabs have been open in my browser for more than a week. Time to put them to rest.
Footsteps To a Novel - A great breakdown from author Margaret McGaffey Fisk on how to get started turning your basic idea into a full-blown novel. Even after I've written a few, I still found this helpful as I start thinking about what I want to do for NaNoWriMo this year.
From there I found Fisk's list of writing tools, which includes useful things like a scene plotting spreadsheet and several different word count trackers.
The list also included a link to Holly Lisle's Index Card Plotting Method, which I have a feeling is going to change my writing life once I get around to trying it out for myself.
Not strictly related to writing, but to creativity in general, Tyler Durden's 8 Rules for Innovation is the article that inspired me to stop putting off the "Bully Bait" column I wrote about in the previous post (I've been kicking that idea around for almost a year now), make like a Nike spokesperson, and Just Do It. It's inspiring me to Just Do a lot of things, actually. Here's hoping that inspiration doesn't wane.
