Description
The Organised Writer is a practical, no-nonsense system that allows you as an author to write without worrying about administration, business affairs, or scheduling, because you know those non-writing tasks will be dealt with at the right time.
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 non-writing tasks without being overwhelmed by all the things you have to do, forgot to do, or don't want to do.

Reviews
-
I'm a messy-brained writer. The Organised Writer helped me tidy up, and improved my working life on a daily basis.
Kieron Gillen
-
Johnston has uncovered a secret I wish I'd learned twenty years ago; writing benefits way less from inspiration than from sound process.
Merlin Mann
-
I've been a working writer for thirty years. Johnston convinced me I've been doing it wrong.
John Birmingham

Johnston packs his book with practical insights and clever methods - the chapters on calendar management and time-blocking alone were like a bolt of lightning to my daily routine. The Organised Writer is the manual you've been looking for.
