Monthly Product Release Update

I allocate time every day for browsing and interacting with online writing communities. Basic questions are being asked, questions for which you could find an answer by searching online.
The quick conclusion is that the writers asking the questions are consuming the precious time of other writers that feel compelled to help and answer. It might be more than that.

What if it’s actually a need for connecting with other writers? I’m certain that the writer asking knows she can find the answer online, but it’s more about connecting with your own community, a conversation opener.

Since a lot of question are about how to create, convert, edit an eBook, it seems simpler to write an explanatory blog post about it, promote Asengana, and offer a free tool (for a limited period) to create eBooks in ePub format.

Writing Platform Updates:

1. New Analytics page – Character Map

The individual characters’ files have a mini-module about setting up the relationship with other characters. It is useful to have all these relationships on one page for a fresh reminder of the connections between characters. We thought first at a family tree type visual, but it would have been an incomplete picture. A minimalist list type approach seemed to satisfy the need for refreshing and analyzing relationship between characters.

2. Create new project – UX improvements

In the previous iteration, on the new project page, “Choose a template” was the last item as a dropdown. Based on the feedback we received from you, the decision about the type of project (novella, novel, etc) is one of the first thing you decide and also the dropdown wasn’t very user friendly. We changed it to the image selection approach you can see below.

3. Bug fixes

One of our testers discovered a bug with the Kanban Board. While the menu type moving to a different column worked, the drag & drop option wasn’t working for an empty column. It’s fixed.

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.

Your Comprehensive Creative Writing Companion – From Concept to eBook

Streamline your workflow and amplify your writing output. Bring your ideas to life wherever inspiration strikes. Harness structured creativity fostered by productive grit, paving a clear path from brainstorming to drafting.

Minimize rewrites, reach your goals swiftly. When your narrative peaks and you’re ready to share, our ePub converter is a click away. Congratulations, you’re ready to publish!
