Summary: Not a complete break from writing over Christmas, but certainly much reduced.   Monday: I wrote a review of Saturday’s Olympia Horse Show and also the book I finished later in the afternoon.   Saturday: I edited a friend’s short story and provided lots of comments.

Summary: I’ve recorded this week as seven straight writing days, but I’m not sure any of them really count as that, as I’ve only done blog posts, admin and reviews. But I’m recording it that way anyway and vowing to do better next week!   Monday: I found out I’d won a writing competition I […]

Summary: Yikes! My writing week apparently dropped off a cliff after two days…   Monday: I got an acceptance for a drabble I submitted recently for an anthology, so I submitted another one to hopefully increase my contribution to three.

Summary: Mostly a break from podcasting this week and progress on the novella. Still just in the planning stages, though, and some further concerted effort required to really get it off the ground.
