I thrive on variety. I do my best work when I have multiple projects on the go and can switch between them at will. If I get bored with or stuck on one thing, my brain will likely come up with ideas on how to progress with something else. This helps me to keep working […]

Weeknotes – S03E04 – Slowly Building Towards Greatness
Summary: Another seven-day writing week, with lots of work on little habit-forming activities, but also some progress on bigger projects, and the start of an exciting new reviewing opportunity. Monday: Good intentions for a proper writing day at Good & Proper with Ann. I faffed around on the internet for half […]
Weeknotes S03E03 – Lots of Planning
Summary: Glad to be maintaining a daily habit, but I do feel as if I’m doing a lot of planning and a lot of noodling around, but not really actually getting on with anything substantial. Hopefully that will change next week with some proper scheduled writing sessions with other people. Monday: Made […]
Weeknotes – S03E02 – Exciting Things Are Afoot!
Summary: My 2019 goals are underway and looking closer to completion than ever. There’s a lot of work to do, but I’m excited to get started and see where it takes me. Monday: A good and proper writing session at Good & Proper with Ann. I initially got distracted for a while by the […]
Weeknotes – S03E01 – Start As You Mean To Go On!
Summary: Very happy with the start to my 2019 writing. So far, I’ve worked on it every day (though I don’t intend to keep that up past January) and I’m excited about what I’m going to achieve this year. Tuesday: I edited a piece of flash fiction down from 650 words to just under […]
Writing Goals for 2019!
It’s a brand new year! And, no matter how arbitrary that may be, that means goal-setting. And I have big plans for 2019. So much so, that I’m going to write them down here for all to see (though I reserve the right to discover they are wildly unrealistic later…). First of all, by […]
Weeknotes – S02E51 – 2018 Wrap-Up
Summary: I’m pleased overall with my 2018 writing. I revised my first novel and got a good response from submitting it. I worked on my second novel and have a plan for taking it forwards. I wrote several really good short stories and got a fair few published. I found paid work in the […]
Weeknotes – S02E50 – The New Regime Starts in the New Year!
Summary: Well, I made plans for a better regime, but starting in 2019, so not really implemented this week… Tuesday: I got off the train at Waterloo at 3pm, with about three hours before needing to meet people at Angel – and what was exactly halfway between the two on the map? Good and […]
Weeknotes – S02E49 – Plague!
Summary: Being ill sucks. No writing (or much of anything) for me in the first half of the week, though I did manage some bits and pieces in the second half, in between all the coughing and nose-blowing. Thursday: I started out by reading a blog post about maintaining your writing habit, which I […]
Weeknotes – S02E48 – Tailing Off…
Summary: Not a very productive week. Mostly just admin and reviews. Monday: I met Ann at our old stomping grounds in Brick Lane, and started out with a blog post about the benefits of fanfiction, which got picked up and retweeted by the creators of Fanatical: The Sci-Fi Convention Musical. Then I faffed around […]
