The Writing Multiple Projects Workbook

Have you ever had time for writing, only to sit down and find you couldn’t choose what to work on? Or have you started writing one thing, only to find your mind wandering to a different one?

There’s good news. You can train your brain to switch between projects as needed using a process known as compartmentalization. Using the strategies discussed in How to Write Multiple Projects at the Same Time, this workbook will help you put different types of compartmentalization to the test.

Once you’ve found the strategies that work best for you, there is a six month schedule to help you put your strategies to work in the long-term, and to help you keep track of what’s working and what needs to change.

This workbook can be used on its own, though it may work better in conjunction with How to Write Multiple Projects at the Same Time.

How to Write Multiple Projects at the Same Time

As writers, we tend to have more ideas--or more responsibilities--than can ever get done.
There is only so much we can do. And to make things worse, sometimes it’s hard to decide what to work on when you do have time. Or it’s hard to get started once you do sit down with all your other work crowding around your brain. Or you get started on one thing, but can only think about another.

It’s inefficient. And it’s frustrating.

In this book, you’ll learn how to train your brain to easily switch between projects, so you can get more done and make sure you're reaching your goals. We’ll also discuss how to choose which projects to work on, how to schedule your time, and ways to track your progress to make sure you’re doing what you need to get done.

So come and learn what strategies you can put into place to make sure your projects get done when you need them to be done!

This book is part of the Writer’s Motivation series! This series is designed to help writers find the processes that work best for you individually, allowing you to more efficiently reach your writing goals.

For a more hands-on approach, this book can be used in conjunction with The Writing Multiple Projects Workbook.

Hallowed Hill

Hallowed Hill

Maybe you should look a gift horse in the mouth.

After the sudden loss of her parents, 16-year-old Martie Torsney receives a surprise scholarship from a prestigious boarding school. This is the opportunity she needs to leave the heartbreak and echoes of her parents behind.

Greyson Academy sits deep in the forests of Vermont, high on a hill overlooking the trees. The school has a long history of helping its students succeed in life. If Martie excels here, she’ll be set.

But all is not well at Greyson. Scholarship students are very rare, and none has ever completed their time at Greyson. And, now, someone wants Martie gone too. Her things are moved, cryptic messages are left, and the school is vandalized in her name. But is it the living trying to scare her away–or the dead?

Martie is determined to stay, for herself and for her parents’ memory. But staying may cost her more than she ever imagined.

Loves Shines Through

Love Shines Through cover

The world was whole before the war.

But war is a terrible thing, and terrible things are done in the name of defense and protection. And this war tore the world apart, fractured it, separated families and lives and dreams. The reasons why no longer matter, but the effects still linger. They cause pain, though the war is over.

But despite the monsters and the poisons and the despair, there is a glimmer of light. And hope and love are not gone from the world.

These four stories, set in the Fractured World, explore how light can make it through the darkness. How hope can conquer fear. And most of all, how love can still flourish, even when the world is bleak.

A young woman braves monsters to see the sky.

A reluctant man chooses forgiveness over suffering.

Lovers reunite to save a child and their community.

Best friends risk everything for each other.

 Come see the light for yourselves.

Of Metal and Magic, Compendium One

Forged from the abyss by the elder gods, the history of Soria spans over 10,000 years.

In this time, the people of the world have seen bloody wars, the rise and fall of divine empires, and pitched struggles between dragons and unicorns—the very children of the gods who created men. Though the seed of civilization was planted on the continent of Elitor, people crossed the wide oceans to other lands, and to divergent evolutions. Today the world revolves around two great powers: Telsemar in the east, and Drumnaught in the west. It is from the dusty volumes in the duty halls of these cities' grand depositories, that we look back on the tumultuous history of Soria and the tales of Metal and Magic.

This collection features exclusive short fiction from the Of Metal and Magic team and Kit Campbell, Jane Dougherty, Anna Civolani, EA Robins, Roque Lattaro Neto, and exclusive character art by Morri Koester.

How to Find Story Ideas

If this were a perfect world, we would find completely formed story ideas that fit what we needed them for, when we needed them.

Unfortunately, that’s not how the world works.

You can wait for inspiration to strike from on high when it will, or you can learn how to find inspiration on your own, allowing you to write more, hit deadlines, answer prompts and submission calls, and generally make sure you can write when you need to about what you need to.

In this book we discuss the importance of being able to find story ideas, how to keep track of them once you have them, and places to try when you need something. Come find out what works for you!

If you’d like a more hands-on approach, The Finding Story Ideas Workbook is available in conjunction with this book. The Story Ideas Pocket Book is also available, if you’d like to have a portable storage solution to take with you.
