It’s time to do that creative work you’ve been putting off

I don’t know about you, but I’m already starting to think about next year. Part of it is that I’m ready to put this year behind me. The other part is that I’m worried about what the new year (the next four years) will bring — and the only way I can imagine surviving it is to get busy, get organized, and write.

During the Covid lockdown, Emerian Rich and I created a planner designed for writers but usable by all creative people. It has special pages for listing your monthly goals, weekly check-in pages so you can keep track of how things are coming, and month-end pages so you can celebrate each success. It allows you to track contacts, reading periods, brainstorms, and more.

Today is the Spooky Writers Planner’s fourth birthday.

The Spooky Writer’s Planner includes:

13 months of monthly and weekly spreadsMonthly goal and recap sheetsWeekly check-ins and note pagesWriting challenges, planners, and instructionsSubmission, published work, and contact trackersMarketing, newsletter, and blog plannersCheck-off sheets for website maintenance, social media profiles, and expensesFun sheets to generate writing ideas, track your favorite TV series, and to be read or watched listsHOW CAN YOU GET ONE?

You can even print different sheets on different colored papers. Create your own Frankenstein’s Monster of a planner!
