The Organised Writer

'Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.' Gustave Flaubert

The Organised Writer is the first productivity book aimed specifically at authors and freelance writers to help them build routine and structure, to write more effectively and with less stress whatever their line of work.

The Organised Writer is a practical, no-nonsense system that allows you to write without worrying about administration, business affairs, or scheduling. This straight-talking guide will help you become more productive, cope with multiple projects, and make time within your life to write — while also dealing with non-writing tasks more efficiently. It includes advice on how to:

· Manage your schedule
· Prioritise your writing time
· Take notes effectively
· Work with a ‘clean mind’
· Get more written every day
· Deal effectively with non-writing tasks
· Set up a foolproof filing system
· Organise your working space

Read the book, then spend a weekend setting-up the system described, and you’ll make the time back with interest. You’ll get more written every day and complete more of your other tasks without being overwhelmed by all the things you have to do, forgot to do, or don’t want to do.
