Nothing like trying to create a reasonably believable story to make you realize what you don't know. Case in point: music. I don't know anything about music aside from what I like and what I do not like. Take a look at the first couple of paragraphs. You can count the amount of music terms that I know on one hand. Thank god for english courses that taught me words like "cacophonous."

The fine people behind NaNoWriMo thankfully have a "Plot Realism" forum on their site. I have yet to run any of my own questions by them, but just reviewing the threads there is entertaining and enlightening. If you ever wanted to know about the personality of alpacas or a good cheap hotel rate, the NaNo forums have you covered.

    “When people are speaking of the Disasterstrike killings, they are largely referring to those murders that are caused by the Yorrenites. Sometimes a murder by more 'conventional means' is attributed as a Disasterstrike killing, but for the most part, they are one and the same.
    “It is a bit difficult to describe a Yorrenite. Though our organization is formed and based around defeating them, we don't really know anything about their origins or motives.
    “Here's what it comes down to: a Yorrenite is a normal human male, like yourself, who is somehow attributed extra strength, speed, and becomes nearly impervious to pain. Those things in and of themselves mean nothing, until you consider that, upon obtaining these attributes, the person in question goes on nothing short of a rampage.”

I really get way too into the "meta' elements of writing. Instead of focusing on word count or plot development, I'll instead fixate on something like "Oh man, this song would go so well with this scene." For example, I was just listening to Syringe by Emilie Autumn, and it clicked. That's totally Disasterstrike's theme song.

But since when did a novel need a theme song?
