What is the Author?s Workbook? It?s a book for keeping track of your novels. I have over 57 books in various stages of development and all of those ideas are in a ton of journals and flashcards. I decided I needed something portable that doesn?t require power and I can write notes right when I wake up and want to capture the latest crazy idea for a story. This has enough space for you to store ideas for about 60 novels. Just MAKE SURE you don?t leave it laying around. Keep it safe!
