Summary: Mostly reviews this week, with a bit of new writing courtesy of an excellent workshop.   Monday: I reviewed a film I went to see over the weekend, and also a book I finished after work.   Tuesday: Big plans for today! I signed up for a freewriting workshop in Hammersmith early afternoon, and […]

Summary: I feel like I got some good stuff done this week, and am happy that I scheduled some proper writing sessions.   Tuesday: I edited the first chapter of a friend’s novel.   Wednesday: I reviewed a Vaults show I went to see the night before. I finished two books and wrote reviews of […]

Summary: Basically just reviews and podcasting this week.   Monday: I finished a book and wrote my review. I also did some more submissions.   Sunday: I wrote all the reviews from the reading retreat I went on earlier in the week and reviewed a film I watched earlier in the day.. I also started […]

Summary: I worked on writing projects every day this week again, but I’m calling a halt now and going back to my regular-ish scheduled sessions. Not a bad week overall, though.   Monday: I wrote my GYWO discussion post for the month.   Tuesday: I did some more submissions.   Wednesday: I wrote a review […]

Summary: I wrote (more or less) every day this week, and am feeling more positive about getting back into both longer and shorter projects again.   Monday: Final retreat day at Stickwick.

Some good intentions sent awry, but also a fair amount achieved, and a light at the end of the tunnel, leading the way back to some of my more challenging projects.   Monday: I wrote several reviews.   Tuesday: I edited two podcast episodes and made plans for my upcoming […]

Summary: I’m still keeping up with the Artisan proofing, which is the most important thing, but everything else is pretty much falling by the wayside at the moment.

Summary: I’m not sure I’ve found my groove for 2020 yet, unless my groove is slacking off, which would be okay, at least for the moment!   Monday: I wrote reviews for the four books I read on reading retreat over the weekend.   Thursday: I met Ann in Wapping, feeling not particularly motivated. My […]

Summary: And so work begins in earnest on getting Artisan ready for publication and Colours ready for submission. In good news, I’m really enjoying rereading both of them!   Monday: I went through the whole Artisan manuscript, doing ‘find and replace’ on various things the publisher wants me to change. Perhaps dangerous, but I am […]
