Summary: A very slow work week, though I did have some new thoughts on the novel for the first time in a long while.   Monday: I did a submission and also sorted out my work schedule for the upcoming week, after having had quite a bit of time off.   Tuesday: I started work […]

Summary: Disrupted schedule this week, but I won some new projects and also worked a bit on the novel.   Monday: Still in my tiny Airbnb hideaway in Norfolk for one more day! I wrote a review of the book I finished the previous night and collated a few more Darkness notes. Later, I finished […]

Sunday: A bit scattershot this week, though I did finish off all my paid client work and work on the novel just a little bit. And I also did my first paid author event!!   Wednesday: I finished off editing on both the elite predators book and the historical thriller, thus clearing my slate completely […]

Summary: I kept my promise to myself to work on novel number five at least a little bit on each ‘work’ day this week – I only transferred a few notes from my notebook to an electronic version but it was more than I did last week, or the many weeks before!   Monday: I […]

Summary: I took quite a bit of time off this week – and went back to not working on the novel… Ah, well!   Monday: Bit of a late start today, but I managed to make very good progress with what was left of the morning. I did developmental editing on the next sections of […]

Summary: I apparently did paid work on four days this week – plus actually got back to working on novel number five at long last (albeit not in any hugely productive fashion, but still…). So that seems like a good week!   Monday: Back to work after two weeks away – and I was actually […]

Summary: A week of game and book reviews, with a scattering of submissions, as I was away on holiday. Back to work and writing again next week!   Monday: I played a new game – Happy City – which was fun and easy to learn, but complicated enough to require some strategising, and wrote my […]

Summary: There ended up being more to report this week than I expected, considering I’m on holiday!   Monday: I got some edits through on a short story of mine that is appearing in an upcoming anthology, so I reviewed and accepted those (one typo and lots of removed commas!). I also wrote four reviews […]

Summary: Got all my paid work done well before going away on holiday – but a spanner in the works means I won’t be getting round to working more on my current novel while I’m away…   Monday: I decided to stay at home today, rather than going to the cafe. I started with the […]

Summary: Very good work week, and technically a 7-day writing week, though no progress on the new novel, so perhaps not as industrious as I would have preferred.   Monday: Unexpected bank holiday, but not for me, as a freelancer’s work is never done! I made more comments on the YA fantasy novel, and start […]
