Summary: Some good progress on my novella project, but then the rest of the week was eaten by the podcast again. However, now that’s live and on a regular posting schedule, I should have more time (hopefully) to dedicate to other projects. Monday: I planned my day to maximise my writing output, heading out […]

Weeknotes – S03E42 – Still Lacking Focus
Summary: Still not a huge amount of progress on the writing front, despite some scheduled sessions with other people. I’m really struggling to focus for long periods at the moment. Monday: I watched a film and wrote notes both for a fanfiction challenge and the podcast. I then wrote my fanfiction for the Space […]
Weeknotes – S03E41 – Tailing Off
Summary: Not a lot of writing this week, despite a resolution to do more focused sessions. Ah well, there’s always next week! Monday: I was due to meet Geena at Picturehouse Central at 1pm so I went in early with the intention of really getting on with tons of writing stuff that’s been languishing […]
Weeknotes – S03E40 – Media Analysis for the Win!
Summary: Still largely podcast-focused, but I think that’s fine, since it’s a new and exciting project that I’m absolutely loving.

Weeknotes – S03E38 – Unexpected Achievement!
Summary: An unexpectedly productive week, which became more so as the days went by. I was especially pleased by a publication acceptance I received on Friday and the fact that I wrote a whole story in one day. Monday: I recorded another interim podcast and then edited it. My recording is already improving and […]
Article in Writing Magazine!
I submitted an article to Writing Magazine at the start of the year and received an email back very quickly to say they liked it and wanted to keep hold of it for when they had a suitable gap. And I’ve just had confirmed that it will be printed in the November edition, which is […]
