Summary: I got a lot done this week, and worked on writing projects every day but Tuesday, which felt really good. Just because I’ve completed my 120 habit pledge for the year already, doesn’t mean I should stop working at my writing!   Monday: Back to Wapping to enjoy the sunshine at The Turk’s Head […]

Summary: Getting back into the swing of things slowly, and very much enjoying not having any Artisan editing to do…   Monday: Planned as my first full writing day post-Winchester, so I had a long list of things to work on. I met Ann and Baby R at the Turk’s Head in Wapping, and started […]

Summary: Stripped back and streamlined. I mostly had a break from writing this week, but still managed a few bits and pieces along the way.   Monday: I wrote a blog post about my experience at Winchester Writers’ Festival.   Tuesday: I wrote a review of Ocean’s Eight.   Wednesday: I wrote a review of […]

Summary: Anxious build-up to Winchester, followed by a fairly draining experience of the festival itself, and a re-evaluation of my writing priorities.   Monday: I submitted seven short stories, pieces of flash fiction and poems for potential publication or to competitions. Very much not my favourite activity, but it’s the only way to get anywhere! […]

Summary:   It feels as though things are moving forwards. Only a few days until Winchester Writers’ Festival, and Artisan is ready to go!   Monday:   I finished a very interesting book and wrote a review of it.   I also went through Writing Magazine and added new submission opportunities to my rolling spreadsheet, […]

Summary: Edits, edits and more edits…   Monday: Ann was free, so we arranged to meet up for a writing session. I mostly focused on transferring my hard copy Artisan edits onto the electronic copy. In between times, I checked the relative chapter lengths and moved some things around to make it more even. I […]

Summary:   People and places were all helpful this week in getting me where I needed to go with my writing.   Monday:   I met up with Ann and new Baby R at The Turk’s Head in Wapping, and settled down for a writing session.   I decided to alternate copy-editing chapters of Artisan […]

Summary:   Progress made on both projects that have looming deadlines, which is good. But not a lot of time spent on writing this week, and I’m missing having long sessions with multiple projects on the go.   Monday:     Today, I took myself to Notting Hill and enjoyed a comfy chair and giant […]

Summary: Good use of available time slots for getting on with stuff. I like having the option to just find a cafe and get to work, now that I’ve trained myself to be able to focus in that kind of environment.   Monday: A new week, and some new resolve, as deadlines are looming. I […]

Summary: Perhaps as expected, my writing output during the rest of the holiday gradually reduced, but I did still manage to get some things done here and there.   Monday: I wrote another short piece for my Yahtzee/Bingo challenge.   Wednesday: I wrote a review of Avengers: Infinity War.   Saturday: My plans to write […]
