Story Tracker: A Chapter By Chapter Novel Companion

You’re writing a book, not playing traffic cop. But here you are, losing writing time rereading what you already wrote, falling into the perfectionist trap of editing chapter three again, or trying to remember which foreshadowing seed you planted back in chapter two.

This novel tracking kit exists to stop that mess from stealing your momentum. It gives you a simple system to capture what happened, why it matters, and what comes next—right after you finish each chapter. So when you sit down tomorrow, you can start writing instead of rereading.


A flat lay of a workspace with a planner titled The Writers Weekly Blueprint, open to a weekly schedule for writers. Nearby are a paper about gentle productivity, a pen, a cup of coffee, and a green plant.

Turn Scattered Days Into Focused Progress: Stop Starting Every Week from Scratch

You know the feeling. Monday arrives with good intentions, but by Wednesday you’re drowning in random tasks, half-finished projects, and the nagging sense that you’re always reacting instead of creating.

What if your week had gentle structure that actually worked with how you write?


The Ultimate Beta & Alpha Reading Playbook

Stop guessing what feedback you need. Start getting the insights that actually improve your story.

You’ve finished your draft (or you’re close), and now you need eyes on it. But here’s the problem: vague feedback wastes your time. “I liked it” doesn’t help you revise. “Something felt off in the middle” doesn’t tell you what to fix.

This bundle gives you the exact framework to get specific, actionable feedback that strengthens your manuscript.
