Summary:

Still not really feeling it this week, but much more positive after an awesomely relaxing reading retreat weekend.

 

Monday:

I booked in a session with Ann at the Turk’s Head to provide motivation to at least write something today.

I started out slow and easy with a couple of reviews, then worked my way through some of this week’s tasks for the Six Month Novel Programme.

Later, I made my way to London Bridge for a writers’ coaching session with Claire, who runs the freewriting meetups I go to sometimes. It was great to be able to talk about the motivational issues I’m struggling with at the moment (which Ann really helped me out with earlier in the day as well).

 

Wednesday:

I used some spare time to look at this week’s worksheet from SMN and made some notes on the Colours climax and aftermath.

 

Thursday:

I completed the rest of the SMN worksheet, which provided some great guidance on story architecture and resulted in some new ideas generation for the end of Colours. I also got some really useful feedback and ideas from the other writers in my SMN group in response to my posted synopsis.

 

Friday:

I wrote a review and also dug out the outline for Artisan to have another look at the structure.
