Organizing writing documents is hard.
I used to have 9+ google documents per a single project, and at one point it just got too much. Lucky for me, I found an alternative -- Notion.
Notion is a free website that lets you make customized pages for anything you need, and makes writing and organizing and plotting so much easier.
That said, the learning curve can be steep and I recommend you start out with a template (you can find some on their website or on the internet).
And these templates look hella cute!
Here's some that I've made:

Just try it, trust me.

[FREE] Notion Template for WRITERS
hello hello, it's me again!
as you can read in the title, today I'm bringing you a FREE notion template where you can organize all your writing!
i've posted two of these before, however, I think this one is way better and more aesthetic. for now, I've picked the dark academia theme, but I'm thinking of bringing other versions of it such as cottage core, light academia, etc.
the real question is, what is inside the template?
main dashboard with a wide view of your novels, inspo, ideas, and resources you save to read later. also, there's a side column with your info and social media, where you can manage your follower count and see your growth!
novel management: a full menu with everything you need to write your novel (brainstorm, plot, synopsis, characters, scenes, world building and, of course, writing)
to-do list
playlist
gallery view of your characters
word count
snowflake method
character building template
let's see the template
Tumblr media
(don't worry, you'll get the empty version)

Part of what charms and compels me in Jeyne Poole's arc is her reaction to her predicament. All the female POVs in this book are dealing with a lot of gendered violence, and they all deal in different but dignified forms... Jeyne is not a POV character and she is absolutely not dignified lol. She cries and begs, she is utterly helpless. But unlike most women in this book who are utterly helpless, she survives. It's frustrating how fans refuse to celebrate that, simply because there is no glory in it.

I keep thinking that this Gojo is just like Sukuna. I truly don't see much of a difference between them beyond the human/curse point of view
#If not Sukuna then some other more palatable special degree curses like the one he just killed that talked about the new humanity#It truly looks like that I don't know#Trying to be unbiased about the pretty concepts I take personally#and trying to ignore the silly fact that Sukuna's domain is literally called temple of evil or something (makes one want to ask#so many things like why the hell does he call it such? isn't evil good for you? Isn't a species kind of thing?#Why are you adhering to human notions and conceptualisations if you seem so beyond them and think nothing of them?)#Gojo is quite terrifying from a curse point of view. He is cruel and merciless. He can't be reasoned with and he is playful. He has his fun#His powers are not much different in structure from those of a curse and he said that the power capacity of a sorcerer comes from birth#So it's ontological. It's not just skill. It's an essential differentiation. Just like curses#It's just... I don't know. It's almost as if he were a curse himself. He talks about emotions being the source of curses?#Maybe that's the difference? Was Sukuna born that way too?#I don't know. I keep thinking that he is quite idk monstrous in a very Sukuna way. He isn't terrible like Sukuna is like with the kids#But he is human after all. He does adhere to human categories. Sukuna is something else#And yet Gojo uses the kids. He draws lines and he is caring and gentle and sweet in his way#but he very much uses the kids and is a bit flippant about it. And he is human#I don't know. It seems completely intentional this similarity between Gojo and the curses and Gojo and Sukuna in particular#Sukuna seems interested in Megumi while Gojo seems interested in Itadori and idk I just keep thinking#but I'm not even know about what or how#I find this man very hard to trust haha the parallels are intriguing#I think this piece of worldbuilding has potential as well as their characterisations#I hope the author will do something with all this#I talk too much#Jujutsu Kaisen#Gojo Satoru#Sukuna

Kind of niche but stories where a character is a horrible misogynist and emotionally/verbally/sexually abuses the women in his life but the reader is like, assured that he would never HIT a woman (with the angle that this is supposed to be a redeeming quality) are so funny to me. Like it has the exact opposite effect. The chivalry angle kinda just makes it worse if anything.

Thinking about that one post that was like “Spacer/War Hero/Paragon” is the most privileged of the Shepard origins and I gotta say… hard disagree.

maybe if we get an ending where afos humanity is fully on display and he makes peace with yoichi it'll finally put an end to the "afo was born evil and will always be pure evil no matter what" takes that are STILL persistent even after 407 dropped.

Notion is free and 100% customisable. If you haven't tried it yet, I really recommend. It has completely changed my writing process. No more messy google documents, no thousands of phone memos -- it all fits within one Notion page.

I'm so excited about this one! It is the most comprehensive template I've made thus far, and it covers every step of the novel writing process, from brainstorming and plotting to writing "The End" and doing revisions.

How to write a novel using Notion
Hello, hello! Hope you're doing well.
Today I'm bringing you a step-by-step tutorial on how to get your novel done with this free notion template I've created.
So, first of all, imagine you have a bright idea. That's the first step.
Have a Bright Idea
There are many plot generators available out there for you to explore new ideas.
For this post, I'll be using RanGen.
Now that I've generated a couple of ideas, I will write them down in the section "inspo & ideas", to, later on, pick the one that suits me the best.
Tumblr media
After picking an idea, it's time to start developing it.
Brainstorm
On Notion, go to the section "my novels" and create a new one.
Tumblr media
Go to the menu, inside the novel tab, and open "brainstorm". Now, you'll write small phrases and topics about your main idea. After you've done that, you'll brainstorm some possible titles, character names, and plot twists. Also, I've included a place for you to add images to create some sort of inspiration board - this will be helpful to keep you inspired and to visualize the type of vibe of your novel.
Here are my results so far:
Tumblr media
Good, let's head out to the plot!
Plot
The plot page is divided into 10 questions, which will help you understand better how your story will develop. This method is called The Snowflake Method and was created by Randy Ingermanson. It consists in writing down a sentence that describes your main idea and slowly developing it until you have almost every detail to start writing the first draft.
Note: I didn't fill out everything in this questionnaire, since I am doing this as an example for the tutorial.
Tumblr media
After finishing the Snowflake Method, you'll have almost every character developed, as well as the main scenes of the story. If you need to add something else, feel free to go to the section "characters" to create another character, "scenes" if you want to create a full outline of your book, or "world building" if you need to add places that will take huge importance in the plot.
When you feel satisfied, it's time to start writing your first draft, based on the "scenes" database.
Tumblr media

That's everything for today!
Thanks for reading, I hope this was helpful or inspiring!

In 2024 I want to further distance myself from Amazon so I'm looking for alternative book trackers to Goodreads.
I'm mad autistic for lists and data collection so that's what I look for the most but the social aspect is also ok. Currently thinking of Storygraph, I heard that one mentioned a lot.
