Summary: A seven-day writing/editing week! The novel is still on track and there’s a lot of other good stuff going on, though my paid projects are all coming to an end, so I’m in panic-pitching mode, which is my least favourite part of the freelance cycle.   Monday: I was up and ready to get […]

Summary: This was a good week for utilising my flexible freelance schedule to my advantage – good progress on all fronts and exciting work opportunities booked for the summer!   Monday: We played a fun card game called Animalia, so I wrote my review.   Tuesday: I had a pretty full list of stuff to […]

Summary: A bit hit-and-miss this week. Good progress on the paid work front (which is useful because I’ve got a lot scheduled for the rest of the month) but perhaps less so on my own writing projects.   Monday: I can’t believe it’s May already! I checked my tracking spreadsheet and I’ve worked on my […]

Summary: This was apparently a seven-day writing week! I don’t remember being particularly productive, but I’ll take it! I did branch out into some new and interesting projects, and it felt good to try something different and less pressured/vast than the novel.   Monday: After taking most of last week off from my own writing, […]

Summary: I finished the novella! But I didn’t write any of the novel at all this week. I punted a fair amount of paid work to later in the month, too. But I also won an exciting new paid editing project and worked out a good schedule for the next few weeks.   Monday: I […]

Summary: Things were a bit disrupted this week (mostly by fun caching adventures and impromptu meals out) but I had phenomenal writing days on Friday and Saturday, so feeling great!   Monday: The last couple of weeks felt hard, with perhaps too much scheduled on each ‘work’ day. The experimental new schedule didn’t work for […]

Summary: Tons of writing and paid editing completed this week – everything going pretty well, though perhaps edging over into a bit too much scheduled!   Monday: After somehow failing to write any Darkness at all last week, I put it back at the top of the schedule today and managed to write the next […]

Summary: I tried a new schedule but it didn’t work out entirely to plan – the novel suffered but I got tons of paid work done and made good progress on the novella.   Monday: I put together a whole new schedule for the next few weeks, aiming to work on four mornings instead of […]

Summary: Still going strong on the novel and novella front – here’s hoping that continues for a while, since I have firm external deadlines for both now! Lots of exciting and varied stuff happening on the paid editing front, too, so writing/editing life is good!   Monday: Up and at my desk before nine, but […]

Summary: Very productive week all round, though I did try not to go overboard, so as to be able to maintain levels of activity over more than one week.   Monday: I was feeling quite keen today, which was good because I had a vast amount of paid work to do after winning lots of […]
