Weeknotes - S02E31 - All I Needed Was A Retreat!

Summary:

Now, that’s more like it for a writing week! I wrote every day, completing over 9000 words in total, and achieving tons on new original projects. Hurrah! The only problem is, I have very little available writing time for the rest of the year, so it’s going to be tricky to keep momentum.

There's Something in the Air in Sheepwash!

I haven’t really written much of anything since the Winchester Festival in mid-June. I mean, I’ve been adding days to my habit pledge tracking spreadsheet, because I have been working on writing-related stuff, or making notes for projects, or mostly posting reviews.

But I haven’t felt as if I’ve really written anything new, other than one fanfic.

So, I was both excited and apprehensive about heading to Devon for a writing retreat this past week.

The lovely editors at Etre have invited me to be one of the staff writers for their new quarterly print magazine, which is a huge honour and really exciting. I'll be helping shape the development of the magazine, being mentored by one of the editors to hone my writing, and getting the opportunity to submit pieces for publication on a regular basis. I can't wait to get started!

S02E28 - Writing every day? Surely not!

Summary:

Little and often seems to be the trend for this week. I think I generally prefer having a couple of long sessions during the week and not worrying about it the rest of the time, but it’s good to know I can keep my momentum going, even when I don’t have a whole free day for a proper writing date.

Rediscovering Freewriting

Due to the many demands on my time, my approach to my writing is generally pretty regimented. I schedule writing sessions throughout the week and have a prioritised list of all the writing tasks I want to complete during each one. I have a spreadsheet of all my past, present and planned publication submissions and competition entries, and another that tracks the number of days I write and how many words I achieve across several categories.
