At the potluck... I was the one who raised my hand about the character bio Bible website... for future reference to all you other writers out there i wI'll put the link here... We can also use this thread to share other websites that we find useful as well because I remember something being discussed called the write or die site where it won't let you make any edits but if you fall too far behind it starts deleting your words!
So... Share your useful website and tell us why you recommend it for NaNoWriMo
Www.litlift.Comis a site I found...it's ok for a story organizer. But holy hot damn wow www.charahub.Comhas been THE best thing I have found for your characters!
It's this site where you can go online and create characters and group them by story if you want... And you fill out this lengthy questionnaire about them such as:
likes and dislikes..even questions like "cat or dog person" "italian or ranch dressing "
Personality traits
their views on gambling, lying, killing,ect...
Allergies?! DO THEY HAVE ALLERGIES?!
deadly sin that best represents them
socioeconomic level
hobbies?
regrets
blood type
if you have artwork of them or something... Then you can upload it!
Any question you can think of and they have it! It's a really great way to mold and round out your characters so that every aspect of them is covered and it makes great reference so when you're writing and you can't remember what their height is or how old they are... There you go! It's a great reference for role players and writers alike...
I highly suggest checking the site out and it gets my thumbs up for NaNoWriMo...
so share the sites YOU use that are helpful with NaNoWriMo!
