Summary: I worked on writing projects every day this week again, but I’m calling a halt now and going back to my regular-ish scheduled sessions. Not a bad week overall, though. Monday: I wrote my GYWO discussion post for the month. Tuesday: I did some more submissions. Wednesday: I wrote a review […]

Writing Every Day
One of the most frequent pieces of advice out there for writers is that you should write every day. Some sources even go so far as to say that you’re not a writer *unless* you write every day. And I say that’s rubbish. I’m currently partway through a challenge I set myself to write […]
Weeknotes – S04E07 – Still Writing Every Day
Summary: Every day was a writing day again this week. I’m trying to write every day in February and it’s going pretty well so far! It’s not something I generally like to do as it quickly feels like writing is a chore, but every now and then I like to push myself. Monday: Today, […]

Except the podcast, which is still really fun. I’m on writing retreat at the end of next week, so I suspect my output will increase a bit […]

The Importance of Slacking Off
I worked incredibly hard on my writing last year. Novels, blog, reviews, articles, short stories, competitions, developing and producing a podcast – I did it all. And I’m incredibly proud of what I achieved. I saw my work in print and online. I got great feedback from editors and readers. I got paid. And I […]
