Summary: A seven-day writing/editing week! The novel is still on track and there’s a lot of other good stuff going on, though my paid projects are all coming to an end, so I’m in panic-pitching mode, which is my least favourite part of the freelance cycle. Monday: I was up and ready to get […]

Weeknotes – S07E19 – Flexibility is Awesome
Summary: This was a good week for utilising my flexible freelance schedule to my advantage – good progress on all fronts and exciting work opportunities booked for the summer! Monday: We played a fun card game called Animalia, so I wrote my review. Tuesday: I had a pretty full list of stuff to […]
Weeknotes – S07E18 – Hit and Miss
Summary: A bit hit-and-miss this week. Good progress on the paid work front (which is useful because I’ve got a lot scheduled for the rest of the month) but perhaps less so on my own writing projects. Monday: I can’t believe it’s May already! I checked my tracking spreadsheet and I’ve worked on my […]
Weeknotes – S07E17 – Projects are Multiple and Varied
Summary: This was apparently a seven-day writing week! I don’t remember being particularly productive, but I’ll take it! I did branch out into some new and interesting projects, and it felt good to try something different and less pressured/vast than the novel. Monday: After taking most of last week off from my own writing, […]
Weeknotes – S07E17 – Goofing Off Is Sometimes Valid
Summary: I finished the novella! But I didn’t write any of the novel at all this week. I punted a fair amount of paid work to later in the month, too. But I also won an exciting new paid editing project and worked out a good schedule for the next few weeks. Monday: I […]
Weeknotes – S07E15 – Having A Moment
Summary: Things were a bit disrupted this week (mostly by fun caching adventures and impromptu meals out) but I had phenomenal writing days on Friday and Saturday, so feeling great! Monday: The last couple of weeks felt hard, with perhaps too much scheduled on each ‘work’ day. The experimental new schedule didn’t work for […]
Weeknotes – S07E14 – Trying Too Hard
Summary: Tons of writing and paid editing completed this week – everything going pretty well, though perhaps edging over into a bit too much scheduled! Monday: After somehow failing to write any Darkness at all last week, I put it back at the top of the schedule today and managed to write the next […]
Weeknotes – S07E13 – New Schedule Not That Great
Summary: I tried a new schedule but it didn’t work out entirely to plan – the novel suffered but I got tons of paid work done and made good progress on the novella. Monday: I put together a whole new schedule for the next few weeks, aiming to work on four mornings instead of […]
Contrary Brain
I’ve been meaning to write this blog post for some time but haven’t got around to it until now. That’s partly because I’ve been very busy with editing work and my own writing, but also because my attitude to the planned subject matter is still shifting (so much so that I just changed the title […]
Weeknotes – S07E12 – Still Going Strong
Summary: Still going strong on the novel and novella front – here’s hoping that continues for a while, since I have firm external deadlines for both now! Lots of exciting and varied stuff happening on the paid editing front, too, so writing/editing life is good! Monday: Up and at my desk before nine, but […]
