Finish Your First Draft—One Week at a Time Writing a book takes more than inspiration. It takes a plan you can return to. Write Your Book in a Year is a 52-week writing planner for authors who want to set realistic goals, track their progress, and finish a first draft without forcing themselves into someone else’s routine. Built around four 13-week quarters, this undated planner helps you work from a big-picture goal to practical weekly sessions. Use it whether you are starting with an idea, returning to a stalled manuscript, or trying to make consistent progress on a book already underway. Inside, you can: - Define what “first draft complete” means for your project - Map your year and identify busy periods before they derail you - Set minimum, target, and stretch goals - Plan weekly writing sessions and next steps - Record words, time, scenes, research, and other meaningful progress - Review each quarter and adjust your plan - Use a Reboot worksheet whenever life changes the schedule This planner does not require daily writing, fixed dates, or perfect consistency. It gives you a structure you can adapt to your own writing process and return to whenever you need it. Whether you have already started your book or have been putting it off, you can open up Write Your Book in a Year and start now.
