Looks like one to put on my wishlist, as I’m wrapping up draft 2 of my own novel and about to embark on draft 3 🙂

I’ve been using the hobonichi planner since seeing it on theshubox.com 3 years ago and it’s been amazing – and also a ‘gateway drug’ into other notebook and stationery and planner expenses! But for something I use everyday and plays a large role in keeping my sanity intact it’s worth it. However I start a new (full time) job soon after years of study/work juggle so we’ll see if it still meets my planning needs in 2018. Different things work at different stages!

@Lily- Yes, the Kiki K cover! Fun to see what they did with it. And I’m totally into paper planners. Still on the relatively low end of the price scale right now but I might get tempted…

I already have a copy but it was a lovely inspiration to get back on the paper planning train 🙂

I spend a lot of time stumbling and making wrong turns, but that’s the only way for me to find the story. That’s the agony and the magic!

I’m glad to hear it’s good! I don’t have very many academic regrets from college, but I do wish I had availed myself of the writing classes. Maybe the book will help make up for it a little bit.

Kudos to your husband for handling flu shots. I have an appointment to take all five of mine for flu shots next week, right after a 2 year old checkup for the littlest, which will probably also include shots. I’m certain that a good time will be had by all–kids and nursing staff.
