Summary: I’m in the unprecedented situation of having paid editing work booked in till the end of July (I’m usually only working on a fortnightly cycle of panic), which is nice! Still making progress on the novel and trying not to let podcast stuff take over everything else.   Monday: It was back to editing […]

Summary: I’m liking ‘taking a day off’ that turns into getting a ton of useful stuff done that usually slips off the bottom of the to-do list!   Monday: I finished editing the interview book and sent it back to the author for review and approval. I also edited a large chunk more of the […]

Summary: I’m on a real reading kick at the moment – long may it continue! Some good paid work going on, and also progress on the novel too.   Monday: Two new client projects to start today – but, even more exciting, actually repeat clients! For both (action/adventure novel and interview skills book), I did […]

Summary: Still pretty obsessed with my new podcast project, but I did also manage to focus on other things too along the way! Lots of great paid editing work on the docket too, so that’s nice!   Monday: I edited another good chunk of both the thriller and the romance novel, both of which took […]

Monday: I started this week’s work with a paid sample edit of a short story for a potential new client, which was fun. Then I worked on both the teen life skills book and the Revision Club novel, so a great range of projects – I love my job! The afternoon, however, was a different […]

Summary: My paid work picked up again with some great new projects, and I was very happy with revisions to my short story.   Monday: New client projects across the board – yay!

Summary: I’ve got a good amount of paid work lined up for the next couple of weeks and big plans for my own business development and writing – and this past week was good on all fronts too!   Monday: I started a really interesting new client project – editing and adding to the rules […]

Summary: Properly back into the swing of things on the paid work front, and also quite a lot of progress on my projects/development – yay!   Monday: I actually sat at my desk to work today, which felt weird, but was probably better for my back than slouching on the sofa (confirmed by my osteopath […]

Summary: I’m back in the game with some awesome paid editing work, so that feels good! Now I just need to rediscover my work ethic and find some balance with my own creative projects…   Monday: I was still feeling as if I wasn’t really getting anywhere so far this year – but posting my […]

Summary: It feels like I’m really not getting anywhere so far this year – with paid work or with my own projects. I know intellectually this isn’t true (I’m plugging steadily away at everything, even if I’m not exactly where I want to be) but it’s still the way it feels…   Monday: I felt […]
