Getcher free outlining tool here!

scarletpeaches · Feb 14, 2012

Heh. I said 'tool'.

Anyhoo -- a short time ago I mentioned my Superspeshul Outlining Tool in another thread; the MS Excel spreadsheet I use for those works I outline.

A few AWers asked if they could have a look at it, so I thought, why not open it up to the great unwashed?

It's a three-page spreadsheet, with formulae for chapter averages, day's total, total wordcount, how many days' work left, all that sort of thing, pre-entered into the document.

Trust me; it'll make more sense if/when you see it.

So if anyone's as hot for organisation as I am, drop me a PM or email, or post in this thread, and I'll email you a copy of my scarletpeaches SuperSpeshul Spreadsheet o' Destiny when I get home later this evening.

Me please! Sending you a pm. Thanks. Might be what I need to get back to work.

ETA - Oh, repped you instead with my info.

I loves spreading the sheet...

muravyets · Feb 14, 2012

I'd like to see it, too, please. I'm on a major organization kick. Just finished devising a shiny new filing system for myself. I repped you my email info. Thanks for sharing this.

FOTSGreg · Feb 14, 2012

Scarlet, I'd appreciate a look too, please.

Mark W. · Feb 14, 2012

May I please get a copy as well? I have been looking for something to help organize my stories.

PulpDogg · Feb 15, 2012

I am realizing more and more that I need to outline my stuff more ... so yeah, I'd like a copy as well

Sounds fun. I love excel spreadsheets. Comes from working with them a lot in my wild and crazy youth (my bosses never figured out how I did all those calculations after experiments so quickly, they used to do all the calculations on paper and transfer them to excel to do the graph, I used to just bung in raw data and press print

)

I'll PM you my e-mail address...

scarletpeaches · Feb 15, 2012

Erp!

I woke up to 4 PMs, several rep points, and this thread. Didn't think it'd take off in the way it has. Just as well I saved the email with all the instructions on it, to save retyping.

Yes, it comes with instructions. That's how anal I am.

I'll get round to everyone eventually. Promise!

You were offering free stuff. To writers. Of course there was a stampede. There are only two ways you could have got more PMs/posts/e-mails:

- Charging for the spreadsheet (in which case you'd get millions of posts accusing you of being a scammer)
- Offering to 'read any manuscript for free and give advice'

Instructions are cool. You should have written them in scottish, though

pm sent!

Sai · Feb 15, 2012

I just sent your a rep, SP, with my e-mail.

scarletpeaches · Feb 15, 2012

Just as well I kept a copy of the original email to save having to retype it again and again.

Now everyone on AW will be as anally OCD as I am. BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA! :ROFL:

scarletpeaches · Feb 15, 2012

Crikey, just emailed another three AWers. I think in total that's around twenty so far. Who doesn't love free stuff, eh?

MarkEsq · Feb 15, 2012

I'd love to have a look at that. Also, a picture of your naked bottom, please. I'll rep you my email address. Merci bien.

Alexandra Little · Feb 15, 2012

It's an absolutely fabulous bit of OCD.

Faide · Feb 15, 2012

Gee, I've been playing around with it all evening. Thanks, Peaches

Richard White · Feb 15, 2012

I'd like to take a gander at this if you have a spare moment or two.

Thanks! It looks great. Three-day weekend coming up. Nerd-gasm scheduled.

fredXgeorge · Feb 15, 2012

I'd love it too, please! Repping you my email address.

scarletpeaches · Feb 16, 2012

There. Everyone who's requested my tool (heh) should have a copy.

If I've missed anyone out, feel free to PM me again, or mention it here.

Stellan · Feb 16, 2012

I'd like a look! I'll rep you my e-mail.
