Site Update and DCWG Meeting

Added a critique questionnaire to the resources page. I found it over at the Nano Forums. Please feel free to leave suggestions if you think additional questions should be added, or something doesn't fit the section it's in.

Also, if you have links or ideas for other resources to be included, please let me know!

Reminder
This Saturday, the 20th, is the second DCWG meeting. It will be held at the Reston Town Center Panera from 1 to 3pm. Hope to see you there!

Site Update

I've added a link to the Name Generators section of the Resources page. It's actually a list of names, and therefore technically not a generator, but it was the best place to put it. It's a list done up from names off of spam emails. Hope you enjoy!

Site Update

Updated the resources page with some free writing software. I've used both q10 and Open Office, both are decent for writing, although Open Office is more of an office suite of packages than just a writing program. I haven't used yWriter4 before, but from what I gather it sounds loosely similar to Microsoft OneNotes. If anyone has used it, please feel free to post what you think about the program. If you know of any other free writing software that I should add to the site, let me know.

Thanks!

Site Updates

Hello, I've been updating the site this morning. I've added Kristin and Dan to the authors page, as well as adding a resources page and the Nano Dares. On the resources page you'll find links to helpful writing tools such as progress meters, and nano spreadsheets. I've also added Script Frenzy info to the site, as a lot of us participate in that as well.

Hopefully I"ll get more people added to the authors page soon. If you have any suggestions for the resources page, or new dares that you think should be added, please let me know.

Thanks.

Nanostew.net is live!

The site is up and open for visitors. Please bear with me as things will be getting tweaked and more author info will be added. Feel free to comment here or drop me an email and let me know what you think of the site. It's nothing major or fancy, but it was fun to put together.

If you have ideas, comments, questions, etc. - don't be afraid to contact me, or someone else in the group. We're all nice and will answer any questions to the best of our ability.

I do plan on adding a page for the Nano Dares. Also, I can add some of the other Nano tools, like the lists of names and the plot suggestions by scanning those in and making them available as pdfs. Links to other sites would be good as well, such as random name generators and the like.

To be honest, I need to find my notebook where I wrote down the ideas I had for the site, and then get to working on it some more. Maybe I'll try to hunt up some good links today. Any suggestions are appreciated.

So, enjoy the site!

Thanks!
