If you want to write a book, but have limited time in the midst of work, relationships, responsibilities...I've found that the very BEST way to make it happen is to have a plan.

Your story needs cohesion. It needs a cause-and-effect trajectory.

It needs a compelling plot, but it also needs a powerful third rail that drives the story forward.

Enter Story Genius by Lisa Cron.

This book has helped me perhaps more than any other when it comes to writing my novel, and I think it will help you, too. And this scene card template pairs perfectly with Cron's book!
