  • I recently updated my novel planning notebook and I think this is sooo helpful! I was inspired by Sarra Cannon over at Heart Breathings, especially this video of hers:

    That is such a pretty cover. And I always am OBSESSED with seeing other people’s writing notebooks, there’s something so inspiring about them. Love it~ 💖

    idk why I never thought about using a happy planner as a novel notebook. mind blown!

    • @dreamplanwrite
      @dreamplanwrite  Před 3 lety +6

      Yeah!! It's like a binder, without having to wrestle with those big ol' snaps in the middle! And these are really easy to whip up if you've got some extra HP supplies lying around!

    Hi! I got inspired by Sarra Cannon as well and im in the process of setting up a classic happy planner notebook for plotting too, but for my comics! Loved to see your video too, its really inspiring. Love the idea of the kingdom that's always in sunset, that sounds so dreamy and fun

    Loved this! Thank you. I found your older planner video then saw this. So glad I did. I'm a pantser and write my stories without an outline. I am constantly writing notes about parts of my story when I'm not around my computer which I couldn't figure out how to organize and this was very helpful. I love your vision boards. Please do a video on that; I'd love to do them too.

    Yessss!!!! I do agree with the notebook thing about not knowing how many pages certain sections would take. Same reason I don’t do collections in my bullet journal. It makes me not want to use the notebooks when I freak out about pre planning where to write my notes.
    As soon as I saw the video thumbnail I had to watch. I love the idea of a happy planner, but I’m put off by having to buy a punch if I print paper of make a vision board or whatever. Maybe one day I’ll get over myself and buy happy planner gear hahaha

      @dreamplanwrite  Před 3 lety +1

      Ugh, I know! It's a bummer having to buy a bunch of extra supplies. I don't love that either, but man, once you have the punch, it's like the world is your oyster haha!!

    Love this! I've been recently moving away from digital writing, because I so love pen and paper, but it's been a struggle keeping all my stuff together and accessible when I can't just click a button to find it. This is such a good idea!

    This is so awesome, because yesterday I was looking for unused discs and other supplies to setup a new plotting notebook (I just had a new, exciting story idea), and among the things I did was watch your older planner videos for inspiration.

    • @dreamplanwrite
      @dreamplanwrite  Před 3 lety +1

      Yesss! I totally get that. I hate that I have to choose and then stick to a certain size, because sometimes I think it would be so fun to have a mini, or a big, or a half-classic lol! At least everything ELSE is changeable/customizable, right? 😁
      That's so cool that you went back and watched my older planner videos! I'm hoping that over time I can post more planner videos on here to give more inspiration. I love watching videos like these! ❤️

      @@dreamplanwrite OMG! Seriously? That’s super cool that you’ve seen my books around. Eek! Sorry you lost the notebook, it is super pretty, but I saw you made a new one later on your channel. I’ve seen the Sarra Cannon one before before she’s always converting an existing calendar, I totally forgot they do blank pages and regular paper I find rips in the rings. Guess I’m doing a Michaels shopping trip soon!

    Your vision boards are gorgeous and really make me want to read your books. I'm the same with my notebooks, in that I write everything in one and things get lost in it, but my main story bible is a huge bulky thing that is practical but uninspiring. Yours seems like a nice mix of the two.

      @dreamplanwrite  Před 6 měsíci

      I actually started my "planning journey" with a bullet journal, I liked it but I'm not good at doing all the perfect division to make it look not wonky.. like in the monthly calendars for instance. Plus it takes so much time to set up, time I honestly just don't have 🥲 since this video, I have found a lot of success with using happy planners and I am also trying out the Daily Grind planner now. 😁
