How I Write: The Organised Writer

I have always been somewhat OCD when it comes to organisation, and my writing is no exception. When you have multiple works out there, how can you keep track of them all?

Well, I have created several spreadsheets and checklists for this purpose, and I thought I would combine them into a master template to share with other writers, to help them in their writing journey.


View and download the templates from the link below. You can, of course, adapt them to suit your own needs, but I trust they will offer a good starting point, to allow you to keep on top of everything as another year begins.

The Organised Writer Templates
