Summary: I finished the novella! But I didn’t write any of the novel at all this week. I punted a fair amount of paid work to later in the month, too. But I also won an exciting new paid editing project and worked out a good schedule for the next few weeks.   Monday: I […]

Summary: Things were a bit disrupted this week (mostly by fun caching adventures and impromptu meals out) but I had phenomenal writing days on Friday and Saturday, so feeling great!   Monday: The last couple of weeks felt hard, with perhaps too much scheduled on each ‘work’ day. The experimental new schedule didn’t work for […]

Summary: Tons of writing and paid editing completed this week – everything going pretty well, though perhaps edging over into a bit too much scheduled!   Monday: After somehow failing to write any Darkness at all last week, I put it back at the top of the schedule today and managed to write the next […]

Summary: I tried a new schedule but it didn’t work out entirely to plan – the novel suffered but I got tons of paid work done and made good progress on the novella.   Monday: I put together a whole new schedule for the next few weeks, aiming to work on four mornings instead of […]

Summary: Still going strong on the novel and novella front – here’s hoping that continues for a while, since I have firm external deadlines for both now! Lots of exciting and varied stuff happening on the paid editing front, too, so writing/editing life is good!   Monday: Up and at my desk before nine, but […]

Summary: Very productive week all round, though I did try not to go overboard, so as to be able to maintain levels of activity over more than one week.   Monday: I was feeling quite keen today, which was good because I had a vast amount of paid work to do after winning lots of […]

Summary: Seven days of ‘writing’, though not necessarily that much ‘actual’ progress. Things will need to ramp up next week, though, as I have a *lot* to do.   Monday: It feels like a long time since I actually managed to do a ‘proper’ work and writing day, so… After only a small amount of […]

Summary: A bit hit and miss on both work and writing this week – I did get some stuff done (and all progress is good progress, as Captain Bear is fond of reminding me) but it wasn’t a lot. What I did to a lot of was reading, so I also wrote lots of reviews! […]

Summary: Another seven-day ‘writing’ week. The novel is still going well and there are lots of interesting projects coming up on the paid editing front. I’m feeling a bit more enthused about things in general – so yay!   Monday: Monday again! And time to eat the frog… So I wrote the next Darkness scene […]

Summary: Still trucking along with the novel, still looking at agents for the two books I’m querying, still working reasonably hard for paying clients – all progress is good progress.   Monday: After not having a particularly productive week last week, I knuckled down and wrote the next Darkness scene. Then it was back to […]
