As it is almost October, or as it's called in NaNoLand, "Planning For NaNo Month" (PlaFoNaNoMo). This is the month before the biggest month of our year, and it means we have some things to get together. We need to start hoarding teas, coffees and other highly caffeinated drinks (My drink of choice is actually hot cocoa, but we'll pretend I'm a coffee drinker for the sake of fitting in.). We need to start warning our friends that we will be totally inaccessible during the month of November.
It's also a great time to figure out where you're going to write your novel.
Y'see, many of us are starting to utilize online tools not only to make plotting and planning easier, but to also make the act of writing easier as well. Sites exist to allow us a quiet, distraction free place to write, sometimes with motivational techniques tied in to get us up to our word count as fast as possible. I've got a list of sites that are, as usual, used by WriMos to make their lives just a little easier.
I give these to you in October and NOT November, primarily because you're going to want to try them out first. Do you respond better to threats or positive reinforcement? Do you need somewhere with no distractions? Do you want a site that saves your work, so you can be sure it doesn't get lost if your computer tragically breaks down? That and more, in October, from the Digital Writer.
