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…
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 in doubt and a double-espresso will brighten your day, keep reading.
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.

There is no such thing as writing a bestseller. A bestseller is not a book you write. It’s product.
That’s right. You can write a good Final Draft. That’s it. A bestseller is a product sold in big numbers. A product resulting from the collective work of a writer, a literary agent, a cover designer, an editor, a marketing team, an online store or a bookshop, and many more.
Congrats! You are so well hidden that even Google can’t find you.
The other 1% are really facing writer’s block and is an excruciating experience. It’s like your hand are tied, your brain is frozen, and your soul is engulfed in darkness. The more it hurts, the more it pulls you in.
Why do you “meh!” when a fellow writer advises you to plot your story after you “cried wolf”- you just complained to everybody about your huge writer’s block.
You forgot somebody while moving forward with your writing career. Go back.
