We also had a long list of requirements gathered from the writers that were very helpful. In the middle of all this, there were my own experiences as a writer and the ways I used to keep me organized. Having at least three different pieces of software I was using for writing, research, creating a structure, plotting it was a mess.<\/p>\n<p>The first proof-of-concept or better said the first step in creating the informational architecture for the writing platform was an Excel sheet. I used it to write short stories, from structure to tracking the number of words written. While it includes a complete three acts structure, I didn\u2019t follow it exactly for all my stories.<\/p>\n<p>Until we launch the platform in October and you\u2019ll have a full-featured project management and writing, maybe this document will help you write your short stories faster. I\u2019ve also listed the books I used as bibliography when I first created the document. I have to say that Techniques of the Selling Writer by Dwight Swain is a book I go back to regularly, even for the simple pleasure of reading it again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/14yN2PZ-ATHyzXAt0vkDz_IYf8LWpNX5N5b1sGzBMD7g\/edit?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Download Short Story Cheat Sheet<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Until we launch the platform in October and you\u2019ll have a full-featured project management and writing, maybe this cheat sheet will help you write your short stories faster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2702,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[4,6,109],"tags":[112,9,90,111,113,62,99,100,110,79,27],"class_list":["post-17298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-4","category-asengana","category-writing-life","tag-amwriting","tag-asengana","tag-cheat-sheet","tag-indieauthor","tag-novel-writing","tag-writers-way","tag-writers","tag-writing","tag-writing-software","tag-writingcommunity","tag-writinglife","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17298"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17298\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":242587,"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17298\/revisions\/242587"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
