The book market for the genre I write in is huge

I heard this quite often. A writer defining his market as enormous with hundreds of thousands of people hungry for his words. Science fiction, romance, crime, and so on. First image that come to mind is that writer in boat looking at me standing on the shore while he happily paddles himself towards the horizon.

There is no starting or ending point. No island to stop for a break. Just water and more water. The food provisions will run out soon.

A self-publishing / writer is like the small boat. Lost.

A publishing house is like a ship. It has all it needs to conquer the huge market in the horizon.

Be smart. It’s not sexy to start small, but it’s the best place to start.

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.
