Summary: I actually did more this week than I’d planned, since there were a couple of reviews to write and some friendly editing to offer. But it was mostly a week off.   Monday: I got some books for Christmas, and read one of them in just over 24 hours, so I wrote my review. […]

Summary: I didn’t manage to complete all my current paid editing projects before Christmas, but only because they were delayed by the clients. Otherwise, I had a very productive week with writing and editing, and also managed to take some time off and relax a bit!   Monday: I started my last writing/editing week of […]

Summary: Lots of client projects coming towards the end this week – just a few more days next week to clear everything off my ‘work’ to-do list! Good progress on both novels too – looking good for my end-of-Jan deadlines.   Monday: Given the new Covid rules, I decided it would be better to stay […]

Summary: Lots of paid editing going on, but not as much work on the novels as I’d hoped. I’m definitely learning that it’s not all that feasible to work on two novels at once, while also juggling a busy work schedule!   Monday: I wasn’t sure about going to the cafe today, as it was […]

Summary: The episode numbers of this season of Weeknotes are getting scarily close to the end… Though, it looks like I’ll have 53 episodes, rather than 52, presumably because I started a bit early at the beginning.   Monday: I have an awful lot of paid editing work between now and Christmas, which is great […]

Summary: It’s getting pretty busy on the paid editing front, towards the end of the year, which is great, as I’m taking the last week of December off and had feared there wouldn’t be enough work to tide me over. I also had a good week on the novels, though pressure of paid work meant […]

Summary: Lots of time to spend on my own writing/creative projects this week – I made good progress on both novels and completely caught up on podcast obligations. Lots of paid editing work got added to the schedule towards the end of the week.   Monday: I finished writing my notes for the next podcast […]

Summary: I came up with yet another new plan for ensuring I make progress on my novels, as well as fitting in paid editing work.   Monday: Got my Covid booster jab this morning, then went on to the cafe for the first time in two weeks. I started with a sample edit for an […]

Summary: A solid amount of paid editing completed this week, plus an attitude shift towards the novel, which seems to have produced some good results.   Monday: At home again today, with the flat to myself, as Dave went into the office. I started with a new editing project; case studies about water treatment businesses […]

Summary: Stayed at home all this week, but still managed to get a reasonable amount of writing and work done. Lots of interesting projects on the go!   Monday: With Covid cases rising in the UK overall, and also in my local area, I decided to stay at home this week (I got pinged from […]
