If any of you guys pay any attention to my Twitter account (@jasoncmartin, for those that don’t), you’ll have seen a few tweets about my participation in NaNoWriMo this year, or, as it is also know as, National Novel Writing Month. The whole purpose is to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November.

A couple of great tools I’ve found in doing this is a a writing app called WriteRoom - a great, simple app that provides a distraction free full screen environment to work in. Once I’m done writing in WriteRoom, I’ll pull it into Mariner Write, a more advanced word processor to style it up and give it the look I need.

A few online tools that have been really helpful are this great random name generator, which has given me many good names for my fantasy novel I’m writing. One other online tool is a Google Docs spread sheet to help keep track of my current status.

That does it for now for tools I’m using. I’ll be sure to update this in the future to cover any other ones I’ll be using. Enjoy, and good luck!
