Summary: The new improved work ethic is definitely helping me get more done (and paid work is picking up again, which is awesome) but it’s also making me feel under pressure and a bit overwhelmed, so I think I still need to think about framing it in the best way – but still, a good […]

Summary: Very up-and-down week – Covid put paid to my writing retreat plans but I successfully implemented a new, improved work ethic and got lots done anyway!   Monday: Aaaaaaand the morning of supposedly going on writing retreat – I tested positive for Covid! So, no retreat for me… On the plus side, my symptoms […]

Summary: I certainly got lots of paid work done this week – not so great on my own projects – my work ethic only seems to extend to things with money/external deadlines attached!   Monday: Definite requirement to resurrect my work ethic today, as I had lots of paid work to do, as well as […]

Summary: This was technically a seven-day writing week, though it didn’t feel like I did an awful lot – either of paid work or my own projects. Must resurrect a decent work ethic next week, as I suddenly have quite a lot on!   Monday: I wrote a review of a book I finished over […]

Summary: My work ethic has definitely taken a nose-dive again, despite external accountability strategies – must try harder!   Monday: I edited the next chapter of the spiritual book and also went through a submission package for a women’s fiction novel in detail.

Yay for clubs!   Tuesday: […]

Summary: A bit up and down this week with both paid work and my own writing – but I got re-motivated in the end.   Monday: I had a huge list of stuff to get through today! I started with a long-delayed paid editing project that finally came back to me over the weekend – […]

Summary: I slacked off a bit this week – so future me is going to be annoyed with me next week! Still, I got a certain amount one and it’s important to take breaks!   Tuesday: Back to work after a long weekend off! I edited a chunk of the supernatural thriller and wrote reviews […]

Summary: Not a massively productive week this week, but that’s okay. I still got all the important things done! Plans to revitalise a better work ethic next week…   Monday: I cracked on with editing the prison memoir and also started editing a book from a new client – a horror thriller.   Tuesday: I […]

Summary: This was a short work week, since we went for a long weekend in Wales – which was awesome! I still got a decent amount of both paid and project work done, though.   Monday: I had a very good morning – I edited a whole romance novella for a repeat client, and forged […]
