Weeknotes – S03E31 – More Creative Than Expected
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.

Weeknotes – S03E25 – It Takes Some Grit
Summary: I have a schedule now for completing Colours by my deadline. Two scenes per writing session. Every session so far, I have started by rewriting my schedule to see if I can give myself the excuse of not doing that day’s scenes. Then I have taken myself to task, knuckled down, and actually produced […]

Thursday: […]
