Summary: Awesome week on the writing front, with the subconscious crew going absolutely above and beyond on the novel, a longish short story and a flash fiction piece – all without waking me up before 8:30am! Go, crew!   Monday: I started out with my Hour of Writes marking for this week’s competition. Then, after […]

Summary: Lots of progress on lots of fronts this week, mostly fuelled by relinquishing the to-do list and trying to see my writing projects as things I want to spend time on, rather than obligations I have to get through before I can take time off. It worked really well, so hopefully I can maintain […]

Summary: Lots more progress on the third novel, and even a draft of a new flash fiction piece as well, not to mention another podcast episode completed. Go, me! Monday: The subconscious crew started the week with a ton of new ideas for Safeguarding, filling in small (and huge) holes in the plot, working out […]

Summary: Good progress on the third novel, with some other bits and pieces thrown in – though I really want to dedicate some time to a new short story next week.   Monday: I broke my usual rule this morning and started out with several submissions and a Bear post, rather than Safeguarding. But, in […]

Summary: I finally broke new ground on novel number three, which was exciting! I didn’t get quite as far as I’d hoped across the week, but all progress is good progress, and I’m very much on track for a completed first draft before the end of the year.   Monday: Scheduled focus session with Ann […]

Summary: (This was Feb 15-21) Finalised and submitted my second novel to my publisher – suddenly it actually feels like I might really be a novelist!   Monday: I did some admin and sorting out early on, then settled down to my regular focus session with Ann, starting with edits to a short story that […]

Summary: Exciting times with the upcoming official launch date of my debut novel, and a new website in the works. So, more marketing and admin this week than actual writing, but it’s all progress! Monday: Today was my eighth day in a row working on writing projects – so of course a voice in my […]

Summary: A seven-day writing week this week – because I wanted to, rather than felt obliged to, so that felt good. It was really nice to be so excited about multiple writing projects that I actually wanted to work on them on what would otherwise be my days off from writing. Lots of progress on […]

Summary: Nothing much to report this week. Still chugging along with novel revisions. New ideas in development for upcoming competitions, and a new outlining tool ready for use on the next novel.   Monday: I made a list, posted it on the UWR online session and then set to work. I revised five scenes of […]

Summary:   I stumbled a bit on the novel revisions plan this week, but pulled it back in the end. A bit scattershot this week, but still progress.   Monday:   As I’d done some Colours revision the day before, and worked out that I had two spare days in my current schedule to complete […]
