Second time doing nano, and aiming for a first time win. 2 days til it starts!
I made this cheatsheet (pdf) originally for my own reference, but cleaned it up and put it online for others to share. First page is plot stuff and reverse page (if you print double sided) is character and personality. It's very dense, with very almost no whitespace, but that's kinda the point.
Let me know if there's anything that doesn't make sense or needs fixing or if you have tips you want to add or other suggestions.

my god I love you. your sheet is so helpful! this is my very first time doing anything like this, so I'm so glad to have something like that to help me figure out where I'm going.
So Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing. It's wonderful to have so much fantastic information available with a single click! Much gratitude in your general direction!
Thanks for sharing this. New to NaNoWriMo this year and I am wading through the zillions of tons of information already posted on the forums. Your cheat sheet is something I can touch and absorb. Kind of grounds me a little.
Thank you! I just shared it on my regional forums, and I'm going to go print a copy for myself right now. I'm going to try to remember to bring a few copies to write-ins. ;-)
