Organization is NOT my strong point. I know where my keys are, where my coat and purse are, and where I might find my shoes, but none of these things are put away. As long as they are visible, I can find them. The result? Clutter crazy!
For writing, I'm a little better. I have a general outline of my plot, but then my unruly characters decide to do their own thing, behaving in some pretty unpredictable ways. I find that I need to keep notes on them: personality, appearance, beliefs, background, fashion, education, and all the other things that make a character real. I also need a timeline. I have to figure out when events happen, and one of the hardest things is to keep a calendar of this.
Then there is the act of writing. Choosing words written per day, what to edit, what to post, due dates for cover design, and deciding on which novel to chase out of my head.
So here is my newest week layout. I haven't filled it up yet, since I want to add lots of dates and notes. But I did add a new decoration! I put a little picture of my cover, The Parrot Told Me, on the page to dress it up. I like it!!
Thanks again to the same website that I got the last printable stickers, Pink Bows & Twinkle Toes.

Mini planner before the pen
I think that I really love the new Mini Happy Planner! I have looked for printables to make a spread, and I really think these are cheerful. I haven't actually added my plans, but so far, so cute!! (I'll add the link when I find it again so you can look it up too!!)
This one is my writing planner so I'm going to add my blog plans, my edits for the book I'm editing for my publisher, Hydra Publications, as well as my own writing!
I have plans for pages to edit, then word count to write per day. Of course, I'm also going to have to keep track of my social media too, and as I get used to the layout, I'm planning on adding that as well.
So how do you plan? I would love to get some feedback on how other writers and workers and moms plan their lives!!
