Getting Your Story Down

September 18, 2019 by JoAnna Leave a Comment

Reader Alert… this is a marketing post about a new journal I’ve just published. So if you’re not interested please feel free to walk on by 😉

It’s said everyone has a story in them. But not everyone can translate that story onto the page. First Draft in One Month guided journal is ideal for anyone struggling to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard), for new writers and as well as those who have a bit of history.

The first draft is just getting the story down. It’s the beginning, not the end, and can easily be done within a month with a little preparation. Whether you’re participating in a write a novel in a month challenge, or thinking about your goals in the near future. Whether you are a panster,  a planner or somewhere in between, this journal is designed to help you do that.

Filled with plenty of space, lined and plain, to scribble, doodle, sketch and write, First Draft in One Month also includes:
