[ OT ] Where to get some help for the 50k Subscribers contest ?

Hi! 
 
 Know your characters! They will guide you through the story. I know that sounds odd, but it's true. Once you know your characters, you know how they will react to any given situation. 
 
 Get your ideas into text. The simplest tool would be to put them into a spreadsheet. From there you can switch the order or content as you like. Just make a new line for each major scene in the story. 
 
 Once you have everything in the proper order, start banging the keys! What you will end up with is a rough first draft. It may suck. Do n't worry about that yet. Just get the words down. 
 
 Now comes the fun part. Start editing, revising and rewriting. Fine tune your story into it's final form. 
 
 I hope this helps. There are various writing software packages out there, but I have never used one so I do n't feel qualified to comment on them. Others may have some suggestions on that subject.
