Read More. Write More. Love More.

Actually writing the idea:

Project for Awesome is still going on! If you want to help support NaNoWriMo, it’s an easy 5-step process:

1. Be awesome. 2. Click through to the “NaNoWriMo” videos on the Project for Awesome site. 3. Click on each video about NaNoWriMo. 4. Click the “I’m not a robot!” box, then click the big VOTE button on each video. 5. Share this post and encourage your friends to vote, too.

And… that’s it! If you’ve always wanted to support NaNoWriMo but haven’t had the resources to donate, all this will take is 30 seconds of your time and a few clicks of the ol’ mouse.

From the makers of the no-effort character checklist, I bring to you… The no-effort complete character sheet for lazy writers like you and me™! 

Because the extra effort I put in staying up until 3 am to do put this together can save us all a lot of effort filling out longer character sheets ^^

You’re supposed to print it out and fold it in half to make a little booklet but you can save ink and do it on your computer :P

Cool it with all the physical description.

Avoid the oh-so-quirky factor.

Make your characters imperfect.

Dial back the physical beauty.

NO instalove.

Cut out the tired phrasing.

Make it awkward.

1. “Can we switch seats? If I sit backwards, I’ll get sick.”

2. “Miss, take my seat. You don’t have to stand.”

3. “Oh my god, I slept through my stop.”

4. “He’s punching tickets? I snuck on without a ticket.”

5. “Is that noise normal?”

6. “Excuse me, can I make a call on your phone? I lost mine at the station.”

7. “Hey, sorry, you dropped your glove. It’s cold, you don’t want to be losing it.”

8. “Umm…I don’t know how to say this…but I caught you staring and I was wondering if you wanted to grab a coffee?”

9. “Marie? Oh sorry, I thought you were my sister.”

10. “Hey, man! Don’t push women like that!”

11. “Sir, we’ll have you step off for security reasons.”

13. “You have a bloody nose? I have tissues in my purse.”

14. *it’s crowded and Person A falls into Person B’s lap*

15. *problem with the tracks and they’re stuck together until it’s fixed.*

“What did you see out there?”

“Nothing.”

“Come on, you can tell me.”

“No, seriously. Nothing.“
