Writers Chat Recap for July, Part 1

Writers Chat, hosted by Jean Wise, Johnnie Alexander, and Bethany Jett, is the show where we talk about all things writing, by writers and for writers!

“Because talking about writing is more fun than actually doing it.”

Plan Like a Boss, with Bethany Jett

In this episode, Bethany, an award-winning author and entrepreneur, shares a wealth of information about planning using Happy Planner products. This isn’t about a particular planner but about getting your life more efficient and organized. Remember, any planning system can be used, but take it from one super busy wife, mom, and boss, there is no substitute for keeping appointments and other important information at your fingertips with a planner or two. So, whether you are a veracious planner or you’ve never used a planner before, this episode has something for you.
