Need handwriting + journaling accountability? Our Practice Pages zoom calls give you space to show up, slow down, and write. With handwriting prompts, journaling exercises, and penmanship practice, you’ll build a journaling habit you actually enjoy.

 

For anyone who needs accountability while working through your Currently workbook this year, I host Practice Pages twice a month via The Handwriting Club Substack + Zoom, where we can check in together. In these hangouts, I show you past workbooks and walk through how I used them, and offer tools, tips, and tricks to help you stay engaged with yours.

It’s currently $8/month to join.

I am looking to add another day in the month to accommodate people who cannot attend Wednesdays at 4:30PM PST. I’d love to know what time works best for you.

Here’s our schedule for the next three months:

Intentions for the Week- Week 14 in 2026

Hello hello! We made it to week 14. How was your weekend? WE DID A DUMP RUN!!! It felt good to get rid of a ton of stuff this weekend. That was a long time coming. I also went on a hike with friends, did a ton of housework, watched Memento with the boys, cleaned up my office and cleaned out my fridge. I also worked in the yard and got a bunch of seeds planted. Hooray for productive weekends. 

Let’s break it down!

This Wednesday, I’m hosting Practice Pages 4:30-5:30 PM PST. I’ll be going over my favorite Tracking Tools and our AM/PM routine homework. Here’s the schedule for the next few months if you wanna join us!
