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 started with the 1980s novel this morning, then wrote the next scene of the novella.

I edited the next section of the yoga novel, then wrote the penultimate scene of the novella.

Then I worked on the meta novel for a bit – and wrote the last scene of the novella!

The minimum word count was 20,000 words and my first draft came in at 20,005!

I looked back over my weeknotes and I apparently started brainstorming the novella on 11 March and started the actual draft on 17 March – so I wrote 20,000 words in a month (in addition to working on the novel) – very pleased with that!

I sent the novella to my wonderful beta readers and looked forward to a well-deserved break from it, while awaiting their feedback.

 

Wednesday:

Today I focused on client work – I edited the next chapter of the 1980s novel and also completed editing on the second section of the yoga novel.

 

Thursday:

I wrote a review of the book I finished the night before.

 

Friday:

I finished the next two chapters of the 1980s novel, bringing me to the end of Part 3.

I also had a video call with an exciting new client, who commissioned me for developmental editing of her meta fantasy romance novel.

 

Saturday:

The subconscious crew turned up at 4am with lots of new ideas about Darkness. I managed to get them to let me go back to sleep and added a ton of notes to the outline during the day.

 

Sunday:

I wrote brief reviews of two books I DNF’d this week – my awesome reading streak of March has very definitely come to an end – ah, well…
