Summary: Good progress on paid client work, and enough work set up for next month, which is good. Still a bit slow on getting back to my own writing projects, but gradually chugging along.   Monday: I finally made it back to the cafe after more than three weeks away. Getting up in the morning […]

Summary: Post-Covid fatigue is definitely a thing! Still, I managed to get a reasonable amount done throughout the week.   Monday: I wrote some more Darkness notes, based on yesterday’s new idea. Then I got back into paid editing work, doing more on both the novel and the family history. I also wrote this month’s […]

Summary: A much more productive week than I expected, considering I had Covid! I managed to get back to paid client work, post-holiday, and actually made at least some progress on both personal book projects!   Monday: A recent client had been through all my edits on his stories and had a few queries, so […]

Summary: We were on holiday most of the week, then came home with Covid… Luckily, my upcoming client projects have long deadlines so I don’t have to start them right away. But I haven’t worked on either of my books since coming back from retreat over four weeks ago…   Monday: Dave and I completed […]

Summary: My focus was more on paid editing this week, after last week’s retreat, so I didn’t get much done on personal writing projects. But things are still ticking over!   Tuesday: I spent quite a bit of the morning doing a text-chat interview with a prospective client, which was quite complex and I wasn’t […]

Summary: Great second half to my retreat, followed by a relaxing weekend off.   Monday: I had a late start today, but that’s okay – I was kind of on holiday after all! And sleeping is so important, Baldrick. Once I got settled, I put together the formatting framework for Meditations, then drafted the Introduction […]

Summary: An excellent work week followed by the first few days of a wonderful writing retreat. Really great progress on exciting new projects.   Monday: Back to the cafe today for a full day of writing and editing. On my new schedule, starting after I get back from retreat, Mondays in the cafe will be […]

Summary: Excellent week, all round. Good progress on client projects, plus interesting revelations about how to work best on my own projects. And breaking ground on brainstorming for novel number five!   Monday: Hopefully, back to ‘proper’ scheduling this week. I was at my favourite cafe table and ready to work shortly after 8:30am, at […]

Summary: After my recent weeks of major productivity, things went slightly awry this week – but only because the entire point of my new freelance existence is so I can be flexible about my work and writing time, so it’s all good.   Monday: I went to the cafe and did a fair amount of […]

Summary: Another very productive week – I seem to have found my groove, at least temporarily! And I gained a lovely new paid editing client, who left me a glowing testimonial and promised me more work, which was nice.   Monday: Got to the cafe at 8:15am today! I was all ready to get started […]
