So it’s November and you’ve signed up this craziness, but you’re not exactly sure what you’re doing. Or, you know what you’re doing, but you’re stuck and you need a little word count boost. Well, consider this page as your online survival kit.

Plot Helpers

• Pimp My Plot
  Pimp my Plot is a plot-helping activity that happens during the kick-off party of NaNoWriMo Philippines. It’s an activity where Wrimos get to help their fellow Wrimos by giving them various ideas to pimp their plot. This activity used to happen using index cards and one minute writing limits, to those who have been able to attend this activity. In 2011, we decided to bring this activity online so even if you weren’t in the Kick-Off party, you can still have your plot pimped.
• A Picture Paints a 1,000 Words
  The random photos on the header is there for a reason! They say a picture paints a thousand words — so refresh the page, choose a picture and add it to your novel — hopefully bringing in 1,000 words (or more) in your novel.
