Once upon a time, there was a girl who didn’t like to plan anything. If she wrote something, she flew by the seat of her pants. (Also known as a panster.) If she made something, it was the same thing. One day, a time came where she couldn’t remember what she was going to do. […]

What Are Your Distractions?
I can generally work with anything going on. As long as I have headphones or earbuds, I can drown out pretty much any annoying background noises. Sometimes, though, I can’t. Today is one of those days. The TV in the next room is too loud. I’m tired and my mind keeps wandering. Random bits of […]
Continue readingDo You Plan Everything?
I don’t know how it’s happened, but I’ve become a planner. I used to be a pantster in just about everything. Not anymore. In writing circles, a pantster is someone who basically flies by the seat of their pants and doesn’t outline or really even plan anything about their current work in progress. Yes. That […]

I am looking at doing another challenge in the middle of January. My question for you is this: Would you rather have “5 Days to Increased Creativity” or “5 Days to a Better Planner”? Leave a comment and let me know.

I’ve been seeing this journal mentioned all across social media. I caught it on sale and thought I would try it out. As of right now, I’ve been using it for a little over a week. And I like it. Developed by Mel Robbins and her team, it plays off of the 5 Second Rule. […]

Last week, I shared a video from Sarra Canon of Heart Breathings. This week, I’m doing it again. She has good information for writers, no matter how long you’ve been at it. In this video, she talks about setting up your writing schedule for 2019 and being realistic about your goals. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwh8-RtODUg]

It seems strange to think that there are only two weeks left in this year. I actually had to check the calendar after I typed that. Yes. Two weeks. The other day, I was thinking that it was early to be planning for next year. When I look at the calendar and realize that, though? […]

The first draft of this book was written in a notebook while I was at various doctors’ appointments. At the time, I was keeping a Bullet Journal. I had several people ask me how to do it. I repeated myself so often, I decided to write a book. It’s not very long, but it doesn’t […]

I was looking at reports on Amazon about my books. I noticed something that made me go “Hmm….” I forgot to set up the free promo for Create Your Own DIY Planner! That’s fixed now. Instead of ending on Tuesday, it will run from tomorrow (Sunday) to Thursday. Grab yours while you can!

This week, we’re going back to nonfiction. For a while, I was really into the Bullet Journal trend. Then I discovered I was making, basically, a traditional planner but with pages and trackers I need. I had people asking me if I would write a book about how to do what I did. And here […]
