the story toolkit workshop

a simple analogue workflow to capture, organise and write your ideas

Have you ever had a brilliant idea for your story, written it on a post-it, and then forgotten about it altogether? Only to find that post-it several weeks or months later, and realise you never used that idea?

I used to have that happen to me constantly. I had ideas for my story spread between post-its, notes on my phone, and forgotten areas of Scrivener. I could never find anything I needed when I actually needed it.

This is why I've created the Story Toolkit workshop.

This free workshop is designed to seamlessly weave together your story ideas into your final draft.

No more sifting through layers of unintelligible post-its or ringbinders of dusty, un-used worldbuilding minutia.

Just a lean, tight system for capturing and integrating your ideas into your story.

what is the story toolkit?

The Story Toolkit is made up of four main tools:

  • the workbook

  • the bullet journal

  • the plot embryo stack

  • the manuscript

These four tools come together in a simple workflow which keeps you organised and on track.

Instead of getting stuck in endless research and world building, the Story Toolkit allows you to only create what you need, when you need it.

So you can keep moving forward through your story.

who is the Story Toolkit Workshop for?

The Story Toolkit workshop was created with you in mind, if you ...

  • struggle integrating your story ideas into your actual story

  • have notes scattered between post-its, scraps of paper, your phone, computer, etc

  • often get overwhelmed with making decisions for your story

  • are currently using a Story Bible to collect your story ideas, but you're not satisfied with the process

  • struggle to keep your writing organised

  • spend more time researching and worldbuilding than you do writing

  • have watched my writing videos on YouTube and are curious about how I use my journal and other tools to build my stories
