Weeknotes – S04E38 – Enjoying Editing!
Summary: Going great guns on the final novel edits and really enjoying it, which is a very pleasant surprise. Everything else has pretty much fallen off the to-do list, but that’s okay, because the novel is the most important thing. Monday: I finished a book and wrote my review. I started a new story […]
Weeknotes – S04E37 – Very Little To See Here

Weeknotes – S04E33 – Ticking Off the Days Doesn’t Mean Real Progress
Summary: A bit of a scattershot week – I ‘wrote’ every day but don’t feel like I made any real progress on anything. I did, however, give myself permission to let go of the task list and read a lot, which was lovely, and never a waste of time. Monday: I reached out to […]
Weeknotes – S04E32 – Writing Daily But Relaxed About It
Summary: I wrote every day this week, which I know I decided was a bad idea, after the July Camp Nano experience. But the daily aspect was mostly small, fun exercises, and I had a relaxed approach to it in terms of not putting myself under too much pressure, so it was okay. Monday: […]
