Summary: Lots of paid editing going on, but not as much work on the novels as I’d hoped. I’m definitely learning that it’s not all that feasible to work on two novels at once, while also juggling a busy work schedule!   Monday: I wasn’t sure about going to the cafe today, as it was […]

Summary: The episode numbers of this season of Weeknotes are getting scarily close to the end… Though, it looks like I’ll have 53 episodes, rather than 52, presumably because I started a bit early at the beginning.   Monday: I have an awful lot of paid editing work between now and Christmas, which is great […]

Summary: It’s getting pretty busy on the paid editing front, towards the end of the year, which is great, as I’m taking the last week of December off and had feared there wouldn’t be enough work to tide me over. I also had a good week on the novels, though pressure of paid work meant […]

Summary: Lots of time to spend on my own writing/creative projects this week – I made good progress on both novels and completely caught up on podcast obligations. Lots of paid editing work got added to the schedule towards the end of the week.   Monday: I finished writing my notes for the next podcast […]

Summary: I came up with yet another new plan for ensuring I make progress on my novels, as well as fitting in paid editing work.   Monday: Got my Covid booster jab this morning, then went on to the cafe for the first time in two weeks. I started with a sample edit for an […]

Summary: A solid amount of paid editing completed this week, plus an attitude shift towards the novel, which seems to have produced some good results.   Monday: At home again today, with the flat to myself, as Dave went into the office. I started with a new editing project; case studies about water treatment businesses […]

Summary: Stayed at home all this week, but still managed to get a reasonable amount of writing and work done. Lots of interesting projects on the go!   Monday: With Covid cases rising in the UK overall, and also in my local area, I decided to stay at home this week (I got pinged from […]

Summary: The subconscious crew had a great week, coming up with lots of good stuff for novel number four. Things are slowing down on the paid editing front, though, as several promised projects got cancelled or delayed, and there weren’t as many new suitable postings to pitch for.   Monday: Slightly weird start to the […]

Summary: Cafe sessions proved particularly productive this week, so I’m thinking about expanding my regular cafe days to three (or sometimes four) days per week, instead of two.   Monday: Back to work after a whole week off, so I took myself to the cafe with an extensive task list. First was transferring submission opportunities […]

Summary: A very successful week off! Several clients asked me to do short, urgent tasks, but I had told them all previously that I wouldn’t be available, so I turned them down.   Sunday: I wrote up reviews of all the new games I played on holiday, as well as the two books I finished. […]
