Summary: Great Christmas week – all client work completed plus all targets for personal projects achieved. I’ve set myself up for a great start to 2023!   Monday: My only remaining client editing project for the year was the reflective novella, so I did comments for a chunk of that this morning. I also edited […]

Summary: I feel like this week went really well – I completed two whole client projects from start to finish and also started submitting my nonfiction book to agents, as well as keeping on top of podcast obligations.   Monday: I started two new paid editing projects today – a book about sustainable parenting and […]

Summary: Something clicked again this week and I revised the whole of my nonfiction book in one setting – with lots of paid work completed as well!   Monday: With an evening theatre trip in town to keep me focused, I ventured to Picturehouse Central in the morning, with the intention of getting lots done […]

Summary: Panic over as lots of paid work came in, but my own writing suffered as a result (not that I was really working on it anyway…).   Tuesday: I won a paid editing project from a new client, and two previous clients also popped up with new work, so I was feeling a bit […]

Summary: A very slow work week, though I did have some new thoughts on the novel for the first time in a long while.   Monday: I did a submission and also sorted out my work schedule for the upcoming week, after having had quite a bit of time off.   Tuesday: I started work […]

Summary: Disrupted schedule this week, but I won some new projects and also worked a bit on the novel.   Monday: Still in my tiny Airbnb hideaway in Norfolk for one more day! I wrote a review of the book I finished the previous night and collated a few more Darkness notes. Later, I finished […]

Sunday: A bit scattershot this week, though I did finish off all my paid client work and work on the novel just a little bit. And I also did my first paid author event!!   Wednesday: I finished off editing on both the elite predators book and the historical thriller, thus clearing my slate completely […]

Summary: I kept my promise to myself to work on novel number five at least a little bit on each ‘work’ day this week – I only transferred a few notes from my notebook to an electronic version but it was more than I did last week, or the many weeks before!   Monday: I […]

Summary: I took quite a bit of time off this week – and went back to not working on the novel… Ah, well!   Monday: Bit of a late start today, but I managed to make very good progress with what was left of the morning. I did developmental editing on the next sections of […]

Summary: I apparently did paid work on four days this week – plus actually got back to working on novel number five at long last (albeit not in any hugely productive fashion, but still…). So that seems like a good week!   Monday: Back to work after two weeks away – and I was actually […]
