One of the key performance indicators for the improvement of a user interaction is very simple: fewer clicks or fewer pages than before. This is what we did with the current update: create a one-page for editing scenes and chapter details and a simpler more intuitive Manuscript Menu for every book/project.
These templates will help keep your project organized by setting deadlines and managing different tasks in one place. Give Asengana’s free story templates a try!
While the dream settings for writing are a quiet, temperature controlled, wall to wall book shelves personal workspace, inspiration comes anywhere.
If you are thinking of writing a book, but don’t know where to start or how to organize your thoughts, Asengana’s Story Templates are a great way to get started.
The templates come in three different formats: Novel, Novella, and Short Story – so you can choose the one that best suits your needs! The template will provide an outline for each scene with suggested plot points such as “Inciting Incident” or “Climax” which makes it easy if this is somehow new territory in creating story structure. You can create your project from scratch by entering content into each scene. With these templates, it’s easy to set up your planned Start Date and Finish Date so that you stay on track with your goals!
Writer’s block is the writer’s most utilized tool of procrastination. Some scream from the rooftops, others just comfort themselves in the solitude of their morning coffee ritual. Writer’s block is real and a tag we stick to many things that aren’t it.
Let’s assume you have quite a few short stories and novels that you didn’t self-publish yet. With a little love and 30 days of Asengana free access, you could give new life and strengthen your writer online presence.
No, this is not an article about why you should be using Asengana. This is an article about the fact that it makes sense to learn, work, and fill in all the missing things in your writing as long as you’re happy when you write.
Do you have a hard time sticking with writing? Check out these great tips to help you create a consistent writing practice.
If you practice, you’ll see improvement. If you don’t practice, you won’t. It’s that simple. Saying “I can’t do it” is self-defeating and does nothing for you. Sometimes it’s difficult to see the improvement you’ve made in your writing. But trust me, your readers notice. That is one of the gifts of publishing – getting real feedback about your progress from your readers.
The constructive feedback kept coming. Our Concierge – Jira Service Desk – proves to be a very easy to use and efficient communication tool. It’s a pleasure to answer back to writers and tell them “Hey, we made last night the change you suggested. Please check and let us know if it’s what you needed. Also, thank you because we are sure the other writers will benefit from it too.”
And then comes the other type of feedback revolving around the next two ideas…
To be honest, for us, the launch of the Asengana platform took place 10 months ago, when the first Early Adopter subscribed to the list.
Six months and 200,000 words later, yes, you read correctly: 200k, I was looking at the screen wondering about the meaning of time and words.

If you’re one of us, a thick-skin writer who takes work seriously, this article is for your amusement.
Reading your book competes not only with other books but with all other activities I do in a day. It competes for a precious resource: my time. Even offering me a free book it’s not enough. I know it’s not what you expect to hear. After all, it’s your mind’s baby in which you poured hours of work, your soul on paper.
The writer in me cringes to write this. After all, what makes a good book should be the storytelling skills of the wordsmith.
Be smart. It’s not sexy to start small, but it’s the best place to start.
Asengana was born of the idea that the writing process needs more than just creativity and then modeled based upon the conclusions of many conversations combined with a lot of hard work needed to convince writers to open up about their success.
You’ll notice a lot of opinions about how good or bad a famous writer is. They are visible, known and easy to attack. The professional writers also don’t give a…
I delete 70% of the blog articles I write at a second reading. I called it Words Quality Assurance.
Until we launch the platform in October and you’ll have a full-featured project management and writing, maybe this cheat sheet will help you write your short stories faster.
Keep doing what works. Remove from your to-do list what doesn’t. Analyze and measure again.
Do the opposite. Buy the book. Read the book. Realize that is better than yours; better written, with a better story architecture. Let the pain and the humiliation flood you mind, crush your thoughts of greatness. Then swim to the surface of the ocean of sorrow you’re in and start writing your next book.
