Workbooks/Blank Books/Journals

While working on my next project,  I realized that I wanted to make a workbook that would not only have pages in the book itself, but I wanted to have an external workbook that I could take with me and write in. That led to creating a series of blank book/ journal/writing workbooks that I wanted but couldn’t find.

 

Culture can be an important part of any story. When you create a culture for a story– there needs to be an organic aspect to the culture – it should reflect the people and environment that gave birth to the culture – this workbook provides a guideline for creating and tracking the culture in the story: how it affects the story, and how the story affects the culture.

Whether you’re building an alien culture or the culture associated with a secret society, this workbook will be a valuable addition to your writing toolbox.
