Summary:

This was six-day writing/editing/project week, after four seven-day weeks in a row! I’m not sure how I’m doing this, but long may it continue (at least in enthusiasm and productivity, if not actual days).

 

Monday:

I wanted to get a lot done today, so I sat at my desk like a proper worker bee… And it definitely helped me focus.

I edited the next blog article for my website client, as well as the next sections of Amie’s client novel and the historical fantasy. I also added developmental comments to the next few chapters of the paranormal detective novel.

I provided more information to Matador about publishing Meditations, and refined the list of tasks still left to do on the Stanley marketing plan.

I finished all my client work and most of my own project work for the day by lunchtime, which felt really good!

Later, I went through my client’s blog post again and answered some questions she had.

 

Tuesday:

The subconscious crew woke up with some great ideas for Bride revisions and future Stanley social media content (after 7am too!), so I made some notes.

A previous editing client came back to me to ask if I could check the edits I had suggested were made to a pdf e-book, so I added that to my list and did it first.

Then I revised the next couple of Bride scenes, which was coming along a lot more easily and successfully than I’d thought it would, back when I was making my revision plan. 

After that, I moved on to my paid editing work for the day – Amie’s client novel, the paranormal detective novel and the historical fantasy. I was really enjoying all these books, which made me feel very lucky in my job!

I added captions to some of Stanley’s upcoming videos, too.

Later, I brainstormed ideas for my collection of robot stories.

 

Wednesday:

I did some more work on Stanley’s marketing.

Later, I got the feedback on the Legacy query package back from Vicky and scanned through it, but didn’t look at it in any detail yet.

 

Thursday:

I lost a bit of time to Instagram this morning – I’m not gonna lie… After surviving many years without being sucked into social media, I’m now checking multiple sites every day – all in service to Stanley’s success, though!

Anyway, I did eventually set up my to-do list for the day (after also rejigging my entire work schedule yet again – I don’t seem to be able to stop messing with that…).

Client projects for the day were the same as earlier in the week – Amie’s client book, the historical fantasy and the paranormal detective novel – all great fun and I also feel like I was providing useful input on all three, which was good.

I decided to take the day off from my own projects, since I’d already done a lot of work on them this week.

 

Friday:

I got back to Bride this morning and edited the next two scenes.

Then I did more work on my three client projects – Amie’s client novel, the historical fantasy and the paranormal detective novel.

I also started going through Vicky’s feedback on the Legacy query package in more detail and made some relevant amendments.

 

Saturday:

I did some more work on Stanley’s Instagram videos and wrote a review of a book I finished.

 

Sunday:

I re-recorded a couple of the Moomintroll videos, then added captions and music.
