How I Plan My Writing Projects to Be Productive

My book, Sparks in Iceland, just came out, which means it's time to write a new novel! In fact, I'm already 10,000 words into my next book. However, I hit a bit of a motivational dead end, so I figured it was time to sit down and do some goal setting and planning for my work in progress so I can finish this first draft and hit new writing goals! Sit down with me as I do some goal setting in the 2026 Writing Planner to keep me on track for my goals. 2026 Writing Planner (color edition): https://amzn.to/41QsqCv 2026 Writing Planner (black and white edition): https://amzn.to/47CVctZ 2026 Planner (no writing content): https://amzn.to/46IDYKG 2026 Writing Planner (printable): https://stoneridgebooks.com/products/printable-2026-planner 0:00 - Intro 4:51 - Create an Ideal Writing Week 6:44 - Publishing Goals Overview 8:49 - Writing Goals 11:35 - Progress 13:17 - Monthly Dashboard →Book Cover Design Courses: https://bit.ly/coverdesignbundle →Book Formatting Course (print & ebook formatting): https://stoneridgebooks.teachable.com/p/formatting-print-books-and-ebooks-using-adobe-indesign →Writing Stickers: https://stoneridgestickers.com →Merch & signed books: https://stoneridgebooks.com/ →Newsletter: http://bit.ly/2ozIoRx PLANNERS - - - - - - - - - - →My Writing Planner: https://amzn.to/3EIi0tS →My Novel Outline Planner: https://amzn.to/3DQMtVJ →My Book Launch Planner: https://amzn.to/3HMrbuj →2026 Writing Planner (paperback): https://amzn.to/4qcHF3c →2026 Writing Planner (printable): https://stoneridgebooks.com/products/printable-2026-planner NON-FICTION BOOKS - - - - - - - - - - →How Your Book Sells Itself: https://amzn.to/2NRwufz →Grow Your Author Platform: https://amzn.to/38vELxB →Book Sales That Multiply: https://amzn.to/2sNdqb1 →Secrets to Selling Books on Social Media: https://amzn.to/38GMYBs →Plan a Profitable Book Launch: https://amzn.to/3jFaHYO FICTION BOOKS - - - - - - - - - - →Read a free book, Change of Flight: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/quvsihi9ws →Sparks in Iceland: https://amzn.to/4qfOktx →Meet Me at the Summit: https://amzn.to/3zJfdLJ →Let the Rubble Fall: https://amzn.to/3UgMxDx →The Trail to You & Me: https://amzn.to/3X8vEiX →Essence: https://amzn.to/2Rmv6CS →I am Mercy: https://amzn.to/36bg73J →She's Not Here: https://amzn.to/30RDy0W →Mr. Moon's Big Move: https://amzn.to/3n8JZtE FIND ME ONLINE- - - - - - - - - - Content for writers: @mandilynnwrites Content for readers: @authormandilynnbell MY FAVORITE TOOLS- - - - - - - - - - →Find KDP keywords and categories, PublisherRocket: https://mandilynnwrites--rocket.thrivecart.com/publisher-rocket/ →eBook Formatting, Kotobee Author: https://bit.ly/3ZzR4GR →Social media graphics, Canva: http://partner.canva.com/XxNvK5 →Music in videos, Epidemic Sound: https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/fpblic/ →Email software, Kit: https://partners.kit.com/8nvsos0bd95z Mandi Lynn published her first novel when she was seventeen.
