Sorry I haven't been posting in a while but have been sorting out my writing. I promised myself this year in 2026 I would stop worrying and start believing that I can do this!
I have a lot of editing to do and writing up what is on paper. A tip for writers is to use the Google docs voice typing and using a tab feature to put everything in one place for easy access. I have 8 projects but need to choose what I am going to work on. I think I have decided. My story about witches called The Nine sisters.
I had things in different locations and files. This has been the most time consuming but it's going to be worth it in the end. I have a lever arch binder for each project. Now it's time to set out a timeline of the story and make some vision boards of how I see the characters arcs.
I use a 20 tab dividers in my binder for
Treatment of the story
Character bios
Setting inside and out
Timeline for story
Words look up list: this is good if you get stuck and need some inspiration. I use different ones for what type of story I'm writing.
At the back I have research for my story
A place for the script as I would like to sell it for TV but also books, so writing 2 different formats.
I use planners that are easy to replace paper like Filofax, Happy Planner or binders. I buy A5 paper already cut so I don't waste paper and all you have to do is punch. You can buy different types of paper for your own preference of your writing pen. I also use stamps for my planner pages.
I am not someone that likes using a planner that is already dated. I make my own as not everyone plans the same or if the planner is used for a different purpose like my writing. I always put my to do list at the front so I can see what needs to be done.
I have been following Sarra Cannon for a while now. She is a self publishing author. I like putting on her videos while I'm writing, editing or sorting out my planners.
She has some really good information for writers, She gives a great tutorial on how to use the Google Docs tab section. She also has novel workbooks that you can download by signing up to her emails on her blog.
