Summary: Great Christmas week – all client work completed plus all targets for personal projects achieved. I’ve set myself up for a great start to 2023!   Monday: My only remaining client editing project for the year was the reflective novella, so I did comments for a chunk of that this morning. I also edited […]

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.

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 […]
