Weeknotes – S03E22 – Meeting Targets

Summary: I gave myself a deadline of the end of this week to complete my edits on Artisan and get to the end of Colours Part One – and I succeeded with both! I also managed a fair few other writing targets, not least of which was clearing my submissions list. Fly, my pretties, fly! […]

Weeknotes – S03E21 – Still Feeling Good

Summary: Another productive week, particularly on the novels front. And also some great news of publication acceptances. So good all round.   Monday: Another reviewing day at the Brighton Fringe.

Weeknotes – S03E20 – Very Productive

Summary: Three really great writing sessions this week and tons of progress on all sorts of projects. It wasn’t always easy, but I stuck to the plan rather than the mood and ended up achieving a lot.

Weeknotes – S03E15 – Keeping to the Plan

Summary: I’m keeping up with the plan for both novels, but not much else. But that’s okay, as they are the most important projects at the moment and are taking a lot of energy.   Monday: I tried another writing day at home and started out with submissions, since that’s always much easier on a […]

Weeknotes – S03E13 – Double Novel Progress!
