How to be an Organized Writer

I create electronic folders for all my book information – and make sure to label everything – In my folder for Toy of the Gods –  ebook cover, paperback cover, your blurb, any social media images, version of the book (ebook and or print – amazon and or other locations)

Scrivener keeps my research organized. So my current project is book 4 of the idol maker series which takes place in New York and Iceland. Luckily I’ve been to both recently, but any information I have or have searched for online is copied into my book project under research. So I know exactly where it is when I need it.

List of links in one place – your email sign up, the review page for each book, your website link, links to your goodreads page or book pages, link to your amazon author page, etc.

A checklist – last day book was updated, where is it distributed. I use a date in those columns so I can easily see what the last book version is and that I’ve updated to all the platforms that I use.

Put your tasks down in your calendar.

Daily – Set aside 15 minutes a day to just organize. I do that at the end of the day when I’m watching the big bang theory. I also try to write daily, but that doesn’t always work for me, so I put it in when I can.

weekly – ask for reviews on your social media channels, bi weekly – send newsletter, and monthly – set out your writing goals – words or chapters or publishing etc.
