The Author's Accountability Planner 2021: A Day-to-Day Guide for Writers

There is no other book on the market like this. It's your own personal writer accountability partner in a book.For a market flooded with workbooks on novel writing (I have an entire shelf), this is a refreshing guide. Writers of flash fiction, short stories, series, and novels are going to love this. The writers approached this monumental task of daily writing progression with tough love, humor, practical advice, and the truth...that Writing is Hard.This book speaks to me like a writing friend instead of an instructor who had taught writing for a long time but is rusty on the production. The charts and questions show these writers have struggled through the ups and downs in their own writing. They aren't just telling you how to finish it, they are right beside you pounding on their own keyboards as well. It's given me something I've never gotten from a workbook.The content is excellent, but the true jewel here is the sense of women encouraging other women to persevere in this labor of love called writing. It's a writing tribe in a book. I would highly recommend to anyone who can't meet with their writing group in person or who just needs another accountability partner to push them to finish that writing goal.

Love this guide. I really think this will keep me accountable this year (fingers crossed!). The layout is simple enough that it's not a chore, and the little extras (advice, challenges, quotes, encouragement) really make it fun. I really like the inclusion of the graphs so you can color code your tasks and see where the time goes each month (and eventually year--there's another one in the back!). There's a pretty cool Facebook group that goes along with it, and I appreciate that kind of writerly support! I've tried planners before, but this one feels like it will keep me going throughout the year (already used it for my first week--and so inspired by my word count so far!).

I'm using this book all this year (2021) and absolutely love it. Felt a strong conviction to get back on track then exceed my goals for previous years in writing, and originally was simply looking for an inspirational calendar, something as pointless as that. Instead I came across this book and, along with getting a** in chair, have been keeping this updated every day, answering the questions, keeping myself accountable. It's all formatted in a way my author's brain thinks, so isn't intimidating at all, but rather feels like there's something there, asking how its going. Still have to be writing, but I find this a great way to keep my goals for week/month/year organized and at the front of my brain. Highly recommend.(side note, I spend maybe five minutes a day in the book, as it's also designed not to be used as a distraction to the important stuff!)

I have no idea why this planner doesn't have more "WOW" reviews. This is the planner I didn't know I needed! As a writer, I was struggling with making and monitoring my daily, monthly, and yearly writing goals, and THIS planner helps me track ALL of these goals in a variety of areas that matter only to writers: word count, research, marketing, editing, brainstorming, etc. My favorite is the visual wheel at each month that helps you "see" where your writing time is going. This is the best $25.00 that I have spent in a long time. THANK YOU for this amazing planner!

I hear a lot of fellow authors say they need a way to track their productivity. Look no further. This book takes you through the year asking all the right questions. It will help any writer reflect on their process, their strengths, and how to improve. Plus, there are writing prompts to get your juices flowing. Love it.

I purchased this as a gift for somebody I am working with and they really liked it. Has great tips to keep an author accountable and on track with their writing progress.

Absolutely love it!

I am so grateful for my Author's Accountability Planner. I've been struggling for a couple of years to focus and push myself toward my goals as an author and this book have helped immensely. I fill it out every day and set some realistic, reasonable goals for myself, goals that I am either meeting or crushing. Thank you so much for such a great asset for writers everywhere!
