Summary: Tons of really fun, exciting and productive work on the podcast this week. After the initial difficulties we had, we’ve now got the equipment and the expertise to produce actual episodes and I can’t wait until we’re ready to release them.   Monday: I started off by writing an entry for the current Fandom […]

Summary: Mostly little bits and pieces this week, though activities did include a fair amount of organising and planning of bigger projects.   Monday: I did some reorganising of my writing projects, to fit upcoming submission opportunities. I also typed up all the notes from my current notebook and read some more of Steal Like […]

Summary: My awesome motivation levels and resulting productivity have taken a nose-dive this week, But that’s okay. I’m enjoying spending more time on reviews and I’m doing a lot of editing work for other people, which makes an interesting change.   Monday: After ignoring Colours for weeks, I finally got around to editing the first […]

Summary: Lots of reviews, rather than actual fiction writing, but at least I’m doing proper, in-depth reviews rather than only a couple of lines. I realised part of the problem was that I was trying to avoid spoilers, so I’ve given up on that now and find I have a lot more to say about […]

Summary: Second seven-day writing week in a row – apparently, I’m turning into Stephen King! I completely disagree with his view that you have to write every day to be a “proper” writer, but I’ll go along with my brain’s enthusiasm if that’s what it actually wants to do!   Monday: I went to a […]

Summary: Another week where I wasn’t planning on doing much writing, but I ended up doing at least something every day, so my brain is obviously firing on all cylinders!   Monday: I brainstormed a couple of new stories a bit more and looked up an old Hour of Writes entry that could serve as […]

Summary:   Still feeling more enthused about writing than I expected. Still enjoying getting back to new short pieces after all the time spent on both novels.   Monday:   I used a tried and tested method of getting some writing done today. I booked a doctor’s appointment at 9:15am and a cinema ticket for […]

Summary: First draft of second novel(la) done! And major progress on a story I’ve been trying to write for about three years. So very happy with my writing this week.   Wednesday: I met Hannah after work, cracked on with Colours and completed the final three scenes to get to the end of the first […]

Summary: Very much on the home stretch for the first draft of Colours. I’m looking forward to taking a break from huge projects and working on some smaller stuff for the rest of the year.   Monday:   I went into town early and ensconced myself at Picturehouse Central with the intention of getting back […]

Summary: The end is definitely in sight for the Colours first draft and I had lots of interesting and useful writing experiences this week.   Tuesday: I met Kate at Highbury Fields and was interviewed for The Book Club Review podcast, then made my way to Canada Water and The Lodge Cafe to use the […]
