October Novel Prep Challenge

And any of the tables you see can be customized for what you need for this novel. You don't need to be good at spreadsheets to draw a chart on a piece of paper. You can even have multiple charts.

Here's some ideas:

Multiple settings and tracking who has been seen or present during something important.
Do you have lots of travel - physical or through time?
Do you want to alternate point-of-view characters and make sure no one is hogging the microphone?
Do you want to put together a list of scenes to make sure each one has a goal?
Do you have to dribble out some back story or important details in a story-like fashion so no one is having a pages-long soliloquy aka info dump? (tell us ignorant hobbits all about the Ring, Gandalf)
