Summary:   Progress made on both projects that have looming deadlines, which is good. But not a lot of time spent on writing this week, and I’m missing having long sessions with multiple projects on the go.   Monday:     Today, I took myself to Notting Hill and enjoyed a comfy chair and giant […]

Summary: Good use of available time slots for getting on with stuff. I like having the option to just find a cafe and get to work, now that I’ve trained myself to be able to focus in that kind of environment.   Monday: A new week, and some new resolve, as deadlines are looming. I […]

Summary: Perhaps as expected, my writing output during the rest of the holiday gradually reduced, but I did still manage to get some things done here and there.   Monday: I wrote another short piece for my Yahtzee/Bingo challenge.   Wednesday: I wrote a review of Avengers: Infinity War.   Saturday: My plans to write […]

Summary:   It’s never the case that I have to be in the right frame of mind to get some writing done. It’s all about making use of the available opportunities.   Saturday:   First full day of the group holiday, and I was up early. So, I took advantage of having the downstairs to […]

Summary:   Original fiction, non-fiction, fanfiction; novels and shorts; revision and new words – lots of variety in my writing this week.   Monday:   Today was likely my last writing date with Ann for a while, and we met at Good and Proper.   I started out with a couple of quick wins, writing […]

Summary: Bits and pieces, small but regular progress. Not a lot of time and energy spent on writing projects this week, but still some. Monday: I did today’s one-minute challenge at oneword.com. Later, I took advantage of an unexpected free half hour to copy-edit the second chapter of Artisan. Wednesday: I had a writing date […]

Summary:   Lots of time spent on writing projects this week, and I’m pleased with my progress overall, but it mostly felt like wading through mud at the time.   Monday:   I started the week with renewed focus, and a writing date with Ann at The Counter at The Delaunay.   First task was […]

Summary: The admin has to be done, or there will be no publications, no matter how much I write. But it’s really, really annoying. Wednesday: I got very little sleep on Monday night, so wasn’t feeling particularly enthused by this afternoon, but a booked writing date with Hannah kept me out after work and focused […]

Summary: It’s amazing how much you can get done, and still have time to relax, when you’re on a six-day retreat in a Devon manor, surrounded by snow.   Monday: My plan to work harder today got off to a good start – I was ready to go at 8:15am! I started off by reading […]

Summary: Snowed in at a writing retreat – every writer’s dream? I’ve certainly enjoyed it!   Wednesday:   I went to Vauxhall after work to meet Hannah and got on with some more Artisan revisions (this will be a common theme in Weeknotes for the next few months…), working on finishing off the requirements of […]
