Good advice

Everybody I know will give me advice, often unsolicited and always good advice. At least that is what they think of it.

While it might seem like the safest path into the dark forest of life, most advice has a tendency to preserve the status quo.
Why do you want to sacrifice three years from your life to build an online writing and project management tool? It will not work.
What you need now is a job. Just dumb down your CV, delete 50% of your qualifications and hide half of your job descriptions so you can get a job. Be smart!

Be smart!!??

There goes out the window the general definition for good advice. I care not if it’s a critique or feedback or just mean and cynical advice. If it motivates me to keep doing what I’m doing is good enough for me.

Somehow my friends, who are also writers, are not in a rush to give advice. And when they do, is different advice. Dreamers, universes creators have a unique approach to life. It comes through sacrifices and solitude filters and always motivates me to move forward.

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.
