Summary: Another week where being a freelancer has been great for the flexibility of moving things around at short notice!   Monday: New week, new editing project! I carried on editing the first in the Regency romance trilogy, but also started editing a YA fantasy novel, a project outsourced to me by my own editor, […]

Summary: Good start to the week with plenty of paid work done, and good end to the week with lots of social engagements!   Monday: First full week back at work after the long holiday. Luckily, I had great client projects to work on! I carried on editing the materials for the RPG, written by […]

Summary: Great situation to come back to after a long holiday – enough work booked in not to have to pitch for a while, but also enough flexibility to move things to later in the month, so as not to be too busy this week!   Tuesday: After nearly two weeks away, it was hard […]

Summary: Had to work hard to get everything done before heading away on holiday, but it all worked out.   Monday: I got another new paid editing project over the weekend (well, one I knew about but wasn’t expecting until October) and decided to offer to complete it before going on holiday (what is wrong […]

Summary: I had to do a freelance mindset pivot when lots of paid work suddenly materialised, but yay for getting paid for stuff I enjoy! Still also plodding along with the novel.   Monday: My giant RPG editing project got signed off (three months late) over the weekend but I wasn’t expecting to be working […]

I also continued editing the mindset book and my […]

Summary: A bit light on the work front, but some unexpected repeat clients popping up to tide me over. Great writing solidarity from friends and good progress on the new novel, despite a lack of motivation.   Monday: I’d spent the last four days on a solo reading retreat, completing four whole books, so I […]

Summary: Very little paid editing work but that’s okay, lots of freeglancing but that’s okay too. Progress on my latest novel and self-publishing my first – tough but worth it?   Monday: Two of my writer friends sent me drafts of their latest books to review over the weekend, so I slotted them into the […]

Summary: Plodding along with all my various client work and projects.   Monday: I carried on providing developmental feedback on a client’s thriller, and also started copy editing a YA fantasy novel, written by the brother of one of the writers I met on retreat last month. Later, I freeglanced a new blog article for […]

Summary: Lots of good progress on my latest novel, which is great. Plus, teetering on the brink of a big paid editing project – just waiting for the client to press go!   Monday: It felt a bit more like I was back in the usual swing of things today – though a couple of […]
