writing plan tracker {free printable}

Several years ago, I made a 1-page printable writing plan tracker to keep up with weekly goals, to-do’s, and daily writing progress. And by daily writing progress, I mean anything that helps move your writing goals along: number of words or pages written, research done, submissions made, posts finished and uploaded, etc.

Although that blog post with the printable is still here on the blog, I’m offering the printable again. A new year can mean a recommitment to writing goals, so it seemed like a good time to revisit the planning sheet.

It’s a one-page .pdf file that’s free, there’s nothing to sign up for, and it’s yours if you feel it might be helpful to track your writing goals and progress. Just download the file for the paper size you want to use, and then print it as many times as you need. It covers one week at a time, but it’s not dated.

The pdf in US letter size is here.

The pdf in A4 size is here.

The pdf in A5 size is here.

Whatever writing goals you have this year, I hope you reach them.

the Lord is my Shepherd {printable}…

Something I’ve been enjoying lately is playing with my dip pen and Inktense blocks with words, phrases, Bible verses, and general doodles and swirls.

This is one of them – the Lord is my Shepherd – from the 23rd Psalm. It’s a 4″ x 6″ image, and I’ve turned it into a printable for you to download and print if you’d like to have it.

As with the other printables on my blog (you can find those here – be sure to keep choosing “older posts” to go back to see them all) there’s no charge, nothing to sign up for, no strings attached. Just download and print as you wish.

I only wrote the opening words of Psalm 23 – the Lord is my shepherd – but I hope these words will bring to mind this entire Psalm, which I’ve included below the image. The 23rd Psalm is a Bible passage that can provide immense comfort.

The .jpg file is here.

And if you’d like it in .pdf format, you can get it here.

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.

{Psalm 23 – New King James Version}

do what makes you feel alive {printable}…

Over the weekend, I was tackling a tiny bit of much-needed decluttering, and I came across a couple of printouts I had totally forgotten about making. Both were printables I made a few years ago, one from one of my watercolor paintings, the other from part of one of my acrylic paintings.

Both paintings are abstract, intuitive paintings, not paintings of anything in particular (“paint play” is what I often call what I’m doing)… and I took photos of the paintings, digitally added words, and turned them into printables.

Tracking down the digital files took some time, but track them down I did. Turns out I made the printables back in 2017. I think (but I’m not positive) I shared them on my old blog but they got lost in the shuffle somewhere along the way.

The first of these printables-from-original-paintings is below. I’ll be putting up a post with the other one in a few days.

This one is from one of my watercolor paintings, with the words: do what makes you feel alive

I think we often need that reminder. As long as it’s not something that hurts someone else, it’s a good thing to keep in mind: do what makes you feel alive.

Do you know what that is? If not, take some time to get quiet and feel into the question. What lights you up? What sparks your inner fire and stirs your soul? What makes you feel alive?

This reminder – and putting it into practice – is something that helps us connect with joy. And, I believe, helps us connect with our purpose.

The printable is yours if you’d like to print it out. As with the other printables on the blog (you can find those here – be sure to go back to all the “older posts” to see them all) there’s no charge, nothing to sign up for, no strings attached. Just download and print as you wish. The file is in .pdf format, and you should be able to resize the image to suit your needs.

The link to get it is here.
