Hmm. Doesn't seem to be rated very high.
BTW, of the recipes available online I could recommend
The Snowflake Method. (I didn't know someone made a program for it already, nor do I know if the program's any good. Anyway, a word processor or pen and paper would do just fine.)
I admit I never got around to use this method from start to finish, lazy bastard I am, but I did the first few steps and it seems like a sensible way to think proactively. And I think you can customize it to suit your needs and preferences, and even if you won't have time to plan out everything before November, you can at least start with the basics and see how far can you get. Beats reading a book in a way, too: more time for you to actually outline
Here's another tool I actually use pretty often, while we're at it:
The Creative Twostep. As often as not it's actually a onestep, for questions often come naturally but interesting answers take some fantasizing.
