NaNoWriMo again

So it's NaNoWriMo time again. Not surprisingly, I have about 6 ideas to pick from, and I haven't decided yet.

I've got the spreadsheet set up, at least.

Stuff I use while writing:
  • www.behindthename.com for names & meanings
  • www.dictionary.com and its related thesaurus, though if I don't find what I'm looking for, I'll hit up the 20-volume OED at work
  • Google maps if I'm working anywhere on earth for terrain, ground cover, and so forth
  • Digital Collections & Archives from the Library of Congress, especially if I need archival maps (it was great for the story set in 1903)
  • Wikipedia for most general knowledge stuff, like the history of the phonograph or when something was discovered/invented
