Once your work space is organized, you'll want to organize your work life and your projects.
It helps to think of a writing project as a job. Not the boring 9 to 5 kind, but rather a totally awesome job with the hours that work best for me. And, being a mobile author means I can write wherever I want to. I can write in an office or den if I want to, and that's often the best place to do it. But, if I want to, I can also go to a cafe or coffee shop, or I can work from a hotel room, or on the plane, or a train. I'm mobile; I can do what I want.A calendar, a notebook, and a task manager should give you everything you need to stay on track.Wunderlist task manager app
Calendar
If you treat writing as a job, you'll want at least the basic organization tools. A good calendar is a must.
There are many calendar apps, many of them free. You might be happy with the one that came on your phone or tablet, or you might want to experiment a little with other apps until you find one you like better. As always, check reviews and feature lists to make sure the calendar you choose is going to work for you.You'll want to make sure your calendar can sync with the calendar for your day job, if you have one. You'll also want it to sync with your personal calendar, like a Google calendar or iCal.
Use your calendar to schedule deadlines, even if those deadlines are no more than personal goals. You can also use it to remind you of local writing events, conferences, signings, and presentations. If you are in a writing group, you might use your calendar to keep track of your group meetings, with reminders to prepare your chapter for critiquing. A shared calendar, like a Google calendar, used by all members of your group, is perfect.
Notebook
You're also going to want a good notebook. My definition of a good notebook is one that you like to use so much that you actually do.
For me, that means having the ability to keep multiple notebooks so I can place certain types of notes in the right notebook. It also means being able to search the notes so I can find what I want. Finally, I prefer a notebook that syncs across devices without me having to remember to copy my notes. Or having to remember to do anything at all, really.
I find it useful to keep two kinds of notebooks, a fancy robust one for serious note keeping and a lighter notebook for quick notes. Kind of like a composition book and a stack of stickies.
One of the most popular apps in all of appdom is
Evernote. Evernote is one of those rare apps that has the ability to be almost everything for almost everybody. You can store ideas and notes, write a whole scene, store photos, record voice notes, draw diagrams--you name it, you can do it in Evernote. Evernote lets you create your own organization style, with notebooks for each project, for your ideas, or whatever you need your organizational style to be to actually stick with it. And of course, everything you put into Evernote is automatically available everywhere you have the app, as well as on the computer in your home office. You can put an icon or widget on your device for easy access. And it's available for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. And it's free, although you can also pay for additional features and more storage space. You want this app.
If you have a recent version of Microsoft Office, you likely have Microsoft OneNote, which is very similar to Evernote. I use both, although I tend to use OneNote more for my day job. If you have it, use it. It works well, and has a handy app for most major devices.
There are many other note apps, so if you want to try another one, check out your app store. You might want something that looks more like a paper notepad, for example. Many notebook apps let you save to Dropbox or Google Drive so your notes are available wherever you need them.
In addition to a robust notebook, I like having a second app for quick notes. Although you can use Evernote or OneNote, I find it convenient to use a smaller notebook. The iPad and iPhone come with a good note pad, but Android somehow neglected to add one. The recently released
Google Keep fills that hole. I use Keep for short reminders, pictures, or short voice notes. Notes are stored on Google Drive, and are synced with any device where I've installed the app. It can't compare to Evernote or OneNote for sheer awesomeness, but it's a good part of my mobile writing toolkit, and it's a perfect app for that smart phone you always have with you.
Just remember the number one requirement that I mentioned above: a good notebook is one you like to use so much that you actually use it.
Task Manager
The third app you'll want is a good task manager. You could use your notes app for tracking tasks. Evernote and Google Keep are both good for checklists of tasks.
The best task managers, though, give you more than a checklist. The ideal task manager lets you create and track subtasks, the many little tasks that need to be done to complete a larger task. It also syncs with your calendar. Of course, it goes without saying that you can access your lists from anywhere and from any device. And, it's a joy to use, so you'll use it.
Two of the most popular task managers that meet my criteria, both available for Android and iOS, are
Wunderlist and
Any.Do. Both are free.There are many others, so find the one that does what you need.
For a task manager that goes beyond to-do-lists, especially if you are visually oriented, you might try
Trello, which I've recently discovered. Think of it as a bulletin board (or as many bulletin boards as you need) where you can pin cards for each task or group of tasks, and move the cards around as you work on them. For example, if a card is in your to-do stack, you can move it to your Doing stack while working on it, and when you finish that task, you can move the card to your Done stack. If you are collaborating with another author or an illustrator, or want to review your plans with your writing group, Trello includes collaboration features that let you share and work on your boards with others. Trello works on pretty much anything, either through the mobile app or a web browser. You'll see this app mentioned more than once in this series.
By the way, your smart phone is a great place to keep your task manager. Most task managers don't require a large screen, and you probably have your phone with you all the time.
Next Step
Now that your portable office is ready and you're set up to manage your projects, you can start to plan your story. Come back next week to find out how to use your mobile device as a convenient story planning tool.

Giving and receiving critiques on your writing is one of the most helpful and necessary parts of the process. I value my critique group beyond any other writing tools I have. They let me know what works and what doesn't, when something I thought was crystal clear is not, and when my characters are acting out of character. They offer encouragement and cheerleading.
Not only has constant critique made me a better writer, it has made me a more professional writer. When I receive notes from agents, editors, and other professionals, I am able to receive the notes with a professional calmness. I don't get defensive. I get revising.
I hope everyone who writes is able to find a group or a few trusted beta readers who can offer valuable critique, but I know that there are quite a few writers in our SCBWI region (Utah and southern Idaho) who may not even know any other writers in their community. Or perhaps they don't know how to get a group started. Or have never critiqued anyone else's work and feel inadequate.
That is why we started a region-wide event called The Great Critique. We give you the opportunity to meet with other children's writers in your area and critique away. On one day, August 9, we all meet throughout the region, helping each other become better writers (and illustrators--they get to participate as well!). During the summer, you'll receive excerpts from manuscripts by the others registered in your area. You'll read them, prepare comments, and then meet in August for live critiquing. And if you don't have a meeting close by, we offer an online location as well. This event is FREE, and we hope you take advantage of it.
In addition, if you wish to have a critique from a publishing house editor or an agent, you can register for that through our
web site. And for an extra bonus, you can get a professional query critique.
You'll find all the details on our
registration page. So there are no excuses. Sign up NOW. Registration is open until June 15.

Hello! Wow February really is a short month.. I am not sure how it's already March but it is and with it come some really great book events. I don't know how many of these I (Thuy) will be able to make since a lot of them are in Redondo Beach or San Diego. Hopefully I can make the Holly Goldberg Sloan signing in Burbank though since it's right in my hood. We hope that you are able to get out to some of these events. As always, let me know if I've missed anything and I'll add it to the calendar. Happy reading!

Just a quick post to let everyone know that Gayle Forman (Just One Day, If I Stay) will be reading and signing at Burbank Library Buena Vista this coming Monday April 22. Sorry for the short notice but I had no idea this was even happening until late last week when I popped into the library to return a few things. Luckily I saw the flier at the checkout desk. Details below.

I actually haven't read any of Gayle's books yet (for shame, I know) but I may stop by. I literally drive by this library to and from work. There will be books available for purchase as well. If you live nearby, definitely come check it out. I love this library and I hear great things about Gayle. Carry on with your weekend!
You guys have no idea how long it took me to format this post, and I didn't even do pictures this time around. As you can see, March is an insane month for book signings. So many great authors coming to SoCal including Stephenie Meyer and Cassie Clare. There are also lots of book launches and The YAppiest Day on Earth, which sounds fantastic. Scroll down to see all of these events and more. Hope to see some of you out and about. Happy March!

It's time again for another event post. It's really amazing how quickly the year is going by. We're already in September which means back to school. Well none of us are in school anymore but it does mean great fall releases and fall weather. There are lots of great events this month including two
Bridge To Books events. We'd love it if you could make it to these events. There is a lot of hard work that goes into B2B and the only way we can keep the great events coming is if people continue to come and support these awesome events. We have some great lineups and I don't think you'll be disappointed. Now, on to the events!

Hello again! Wow, July really flew by. Last month was jam packed and this month looks like it's going to have some great events as well. I know Kimberly and I will be hitting the Kendare Blake & Co signing at Mrs. Nelson's on the 16th and Alethea will be at the Fat Kid screening the same day. Wish I could make Cassandra Clare but, alas, I am working. Hope to see some of you at these events. Let us know if you're going and we'll keep an eye out. If we've missed any events, just let us know in the comments and we'll add them in. Happy August!

Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I recently learned that a controversy brewed about the real use of the editorial calendar. I’m new to this tool of the writing business, but I never realized that such a tool could have so many sides. Who knew that which deadline date one uses was controversial?
Here you have spreadsheet with columns and rows of items. Columns, for me, relate to the days of the week. The rows house the activities required for those days. Some people use the opposite approach. Call me traditional with calendars. Days belong across the top of the sheet.
Those activities plugged into the spreadsheet range from book chapters that must go to a critique partner/group to poem revisions necessary before submitting a packet to a magazine. Everything goes on the calendar; at least in my work world. I also need to allot for time spent on said activity. I know. I’m a bit anal due to having so many projects on the board.
The one thing that I don’t understand about this calendar debate is why it exists. Yes, some writers use a submission deadline date supplied by the magazine, publisher, agent, etc. Others like me, like lots of cushion to account for unforeseen circumstances, and plug a project into a day prior to the actual deadline date.
Isn’t it a matter of needs?
Everyone has a specific way of thinking about work and deadlines. I see deadlines as finite walls. There are no doors in those walls. If I can’t make a deadline, it’s my fault. I knew it was there. I knew what I needed to do. If I don’t make it, it’s because I didn’t prepare adequately to get the job done. It’s really that simple.
In order to make the deadline, I place a date a few days prior to that of the finite wall. In the back of my mind, I know that cushion is built in. In the day-to-day work, though, that realization tends to disappear. My calendar tells me that I need to have something done on a specific day. And that’s what I do.
Others may not need that cushion. They work better under pressure to make deadline. That’s how their creativity erupts; but a sense of immediate need.
I work on a monthly calendar and a weekly one. One gives a longer overview, especially because of coursework I need to keep in mind. The short week calendar gives me detail on upcoming work and deadlines. They operate in tandem to give me all I need to keep my activity level constant.
I haven’t been doing a calendar prior to May. I don’t enjoy the time spent creating them. For me, it’s tedious, but the hour or two I spend on those spreadsheets saves me tons in frus
