Reasons for writing books are in unlimited supply; from having a message to share with the world to wanting to become a professional writer and make money. There are thousands of reasons.

It’s easy to lose sight of the many reasons that motivate us as authors. It could be a message we desperately want to share with our fellow humans, or it might just be an insatiable need for validation and money! But in order to become successful at anything you do, no matter how lofty your goals may seem, perseverance is key.

The decision to be a writer is easy to take: have an idea, write the first word. The hard part is to put up with thousands of hours of writing, research, rewrites, working with an editor, cover designer, sending proposal letters, formatting eBooks for self-publishing, and so many others.

What can you do in a world where those thousands of hours are dedicated to writing by thousands of other people?

Stop writing books.

Start writing stories.

Change readers’ lives.

Make a difference.

Is writing a great book an act of magic or a triumph over chaos?

With Asengana, it's both. Welcome to a place where the enchantment of storytelling meets the mastery of organized creativity.

Boost Your Productivity, Ignite Your Creativity

Writing a book is a journey. It will engage your time, your mind, and, hopefully, your soul. Unless you’re fully committed to writing, you will be less successful in your endeavors.

Start a short story, novella, or novel. Do your research. Create your outline, synopsis, and manuscript structure. Write. Use a Kanban to manage your time and your progress. Create your eBook. Publish, market, and sell it. Start the next one.

Stay Organized and Monitor Your Progress

Having all your research organized and at your fingertips will make a world of difference. As a writer, you’re the master of your own discipline. Maintaining a steady pace can be challenging, but with the right tools, it becomes a fulfilling venture.

The word count is a simple and effective way to track progress. Use a Burndown Chart to track your daily progress and estimate the daily word count you need to reach your deadline.

Enhance Characters, Enrich Locations, and Craft Compelling Outlines

Creating well-rounded characters and employing a sensory map for your locations can significantly elevate your character development and scene settings, enriching your entire novel.
Gaining a clear understanding of your plot points and having the flexibility to adapt the structure of your manuscript as needed, fosters a sense of freedom within a structured framework.
