I'm sure you can do it Kirin!

I am afraid of not doing my superhero justice. And her story needs to be told.

Kirin Rosenbaum 10-30-2016 02:09 AM

Well this superhero was created for an online course I took.

Bearzy 10-30-2016 02:18 AM

What kind of course?

xuvrette 10-30-2016 03:17 AM

I have real job, and I have won 2 years in a row. <333
A job that has quite a lot of overtime too.

It was put on by the Smithsonian. Rise of the Superheros was the name of the course.

I need to find my notebook with my character notes in it.

i thank god have been doing this stories notes mainly in google docs because i knew i was going to be in the middle of a move, and lose everything.

xuvrette 10-30-2016 02:21 PM

Aha! The pesky thing about writing on paper... it get lost.
Also the pesky thing about writing on computer... it get crash! XD

Shadami 10-30-2016 02:32 PM

and that's where google docs is a lifesaver. xD

Evernote is a good cloud program for writing, too. I've been using it for a year or so now and it's wonderful at helping you keep things organized. It's like a virtual notebook. The free version is what I've been using and is all you really need if you're not using it for business purposes. They also have an app, so anything that has the program downloaded can be your workstation.

I've gone through multiple NaNo's with this program. I highly recommend it if you want to back up your writing and pre-writing stuff.

Kirin Rosenbaum 10-30-2016 04:01 PM

I have the powerpoint with my notes on it. But I'd rather have my cute notebook.

fishyfey 10-30-2016 04:12 PM

I use Onenote. It is free from Microsoft and everything stays in the Cloud so I can't loose it and can use multiple devices to write.

I know a lot of people that don't like the program but I find it really easy to organize everything in a notebook. I make separate pages for characters, setting, plot ideas, etc. Then its all there and easy to access without having to dig for Word Documents or wherever I have things written down.

CADFND 10-30-2016 04:20 PM

@Kirin - I'm all for cute notebooks. Most of my ideas start in cute notebooks. It's just when I start drafting that I move into more computer-based programs.

@Fishy - I've used Onenote! It's set up fairly similarly to Evernote. That's actually kind of reassuring. I thought I was the only one who'd dabbled in using it. ^^; It's closer to being set up like a "cute notebook" than Evernote is, but I found Evernote a little more user-friendly. It's been a while, though. Maybe I'll start poking around in that program again.

Shadami 10-30-2016 08:42 PM

i haven't used any of those note thingys :3 i maybe should...

xuvrette 10-30-2016 09:34 PM

I am too attached to notebooks that I usually are too reluctant to start on one... love its pristine blank slate.

Bearzy 10-30-2016 09:51 PM

Aaaaahhhh NaNo starts tomorrow for me!!

xuvrette 10-30-2016 10:14 PM

I lost on chance, main and mule, on 3! O__O

Bearzy 10-30-2016 10:47 PM

A tragedy!!

fishyfey 10-30-2016 11:01 PM

Oh my gosh - I'm whirlwind planning my novel to get ready in time!

I found some good resources and tips on novel writing. This one is particularly good in my opinion. Anyone else have great resources you are using to make it through nanowrimo?

Velvet 10-30-2016 11:25 PM

Cute name. :3

~LONGCAT~ 10-30-2016 11:30 PM

I'm using both notebooka nd computer. because I've started to turn the phone/computer away at night before I get ready to sleep. My eyes have been hurting from the screens and I'd rather not start getting migraines because of excessive screen use. Also my handwriting is really fun.

Bearzy 10-30-2016 11:35 PM

Oh man, I just use the NaNoWriMo forums to help me plan. People asking me questions about my story forces me to come up with answers!
