I love spreadsheets and I utilize them to the fullest. I have a separate sheet for all my WIPs. In these sheets, I keep track of the progress of the story that includes chapter lengths, story arcs, conflicts, etc.
Then there's the sheet for review request. I keep track of everyone I send either a request or a book to so I don't forget and end up sending it twice. I do this with submissions to publisher also.
It's so easy in this fast paced world with all the media avenues to work with that you can become lost in what you've done and where you sent your work. I've been lucky about not ending up with a dual sub. By tracking everything I do, it makes it easier for any new release I have.
Writing is not easy, promoting isn't either so to me, having a record of what I'm doing takes a lot of stress off.
How do you keep track of your subs? Your writing progress? Would love to hear from everyone!
