Summary: I achieved my novel-writing goals for January, which feels really good. Now, I can take more time in February to work on shorter projects, or have a break!   Monday: I braved the outside world again today, and went to the cafe for the first time since well before Christmas. And the only table […]

Summary: It was a very good week in terms of both paid work and personal writing projects. I feel like I made good progress on all fronts, but without actually having to work too hard!   Monday: A friend asked me to come over, so I shunted all my writing/editing tasks to later in the […]

Summary: Some ups and downs this week, but overall a decent amount of progress on both personal and paid projects. I’m still struggling with feeling as if I have time to fit everything in, though!   Monday: New week, new paid projects, new work ethic! After taking most of last week off, I made a […]

Summary: I didn’t actually do very much paid work this week, which was a great start to my plan to work less this year! But I did work on both novels and create an excellent plan for completing them earlier and also doing more reading.   Monday: I played one new game over the course […]

Summary: I actually did more this week than I’d planned, since there were a couple of reviews to write and some friendly editing to offer. But it was mostly a week off.   Monday: I got some books for Christmas, and read one of them in just over 24 hours, so I wrote my review. […]

Summary: I didn’t manage to complete all my current paid editing projects before Christmas, but only because they were delayed by the clients. Otherwise, I had a very productive week with writing and editing, and also managed to take some time off and relax a bit!   Monday: I started my last writing/editing week of […]

Summary: Lots of client projects coming towards the end this week – just a few more days next week to clear everything off my ‘work’ to-do list! Good progress on both novels too – looking good for my end-of-Jan deadlines.   Monday: Given the new Covid rules, I decided it would be better to stay […]

Summary: Lots of paid editing going on, but not as much work on the novels as I’d hoped. I’m definitely learning that it’s not all that feasible to work on two novels at once, while also juggling a busy work schedule!   Monday: I wasn’t sure about going to the cafe today, as it was […]

Summary: The episode numbers of this season of Weeknotes are getting scarily close to the end… Though, it looks like I’ll have 53 episodes, rather than 52, presumably because I started a bit early at the beginning.   Monday: I have an awful lot of paid editing work between now and Christmas, which is great […]

Summary: It’s getting pretty busy on the paid editing front, towards the end of the year, which is great, as I’m taking the last week of December off and had feared there wouldn’t be enough work to tide me over. I also had a good week on the novels, though pressure of paid work meant […]
