I love templates. They’re like cheat sheets for your writing, or an interviewer who asks you really great questions about your character, or your story or the world you’re creating.
In short, they make your writing life easier, and anything that does that, deserves a medal.
And since I not only enjoy using templates, but also scrounging around and creating them, here’s a list of all the ones I’ve made so far, plus a few I’ve found.

Any new template updates? and will you be participating in this years Nano?
Sorry, no template updates as yet, but I’m working on a few 🙂
Yes, I am taking part in this year’s NaNoWriMo, but whether or not I actually get to start writing a new book or not depends upon whether I finish the current one in time! How about you?
