The last couple days I've been looking at these lists of questions that somebody posted on the Nano forums:

I always find it really interesting to look at different ways or organizing information, since I like trying to get an idea pretty well nailed down. I'm not much of a fly-by-the-seat of your pants writer unless I'm writing short fiction. Like, flash fiction short.
The complications questions especially I've found useful for trying to flesh out my June camp plot pretty quickly-- I think some of them really get to the heart of the matter, like "what is your character's secret inner problem that will be solve by the blah blah blah". I will probably also try these questions on my older story, too, since there are still a lot of elements about that I don't feel were ever properly developed.
