May I add one more item to your list? Why, thank you;-) A new roll of freezer paper. You know, the white paper with plastic on one side. If you have a time line to think about, especially important in historical fiction, tear off a good sized sheet of the freezer paper and put plastic side next to wall or door. Then you can use a magic marker to make a time line you need to write to, and the ink will not go through to stain your wall. I put my historical timeline up, then use it to sketch in the action with just a couple of words.
