Summary:   Another seven-day writing week, with lots of work on little habit-forming activities, but also some progress on bigger projects, and the start of an exciting new reviewing opportunity.   Monday:   Good intentions for a proper writing day at Good & Proper with Ann.   I faffed around on the internet for half […]

Summary:   Glad to be maintaining a daily habit, but I do feel as if I’m doing a lot of planning and a lot of noodling around, but not really actually getting on with anything substantial. Hopefully that will change next week with some proper scheduled writing sessions with other people.   Monday:   Made […]

Summary: My 2019 goals are underway and looking closer to completion than ever. There’s a lot of work to do, but I’m excited to get started and see where it takes me.   Monday: A good and proper writing session at Good & Proper with Ann. I initially got distracted for a while by the […]

Summary: Very happy with the start to my 2019 writing. So far, I’ve worked on it every day (though I don’t intend to keep that up past January) and I’m excited about what I’m going to achieve this year.   Tuesday: I edited a piece of flash fiction down from 650 words to just under […]

Summary:   I’m pleased overall with my 2018 writing. I revised my first novel and got a good response from submitting it. I worked on my second novel and have a plan for taking it forwards. I wrote several really good short stories and got a fair few published. I found paid work in the […]

Summary: Well, I made plans for a better regime, but starting in 2019, so not really implemented this week…   Tuesday: I got off the train at Waterloo at 3pm, with about three hours before needing to meet people at Angel – and what was exactly halfway between the two on the map? Good and […]

Summary: Being ill sucks. No writing (or much of anything) for me in the first half of the week, though I did manage some bits and pieces in the second half, in between all the coughing and nose-blowing.   Thursday: I started out by reading a blog post about maintaining your writing habit, which I […]

Summary: Not a very productive week. Mostly just admin and reviews.   Monday: I met Ann at our old stomping grounds in Brick Lane, and started out with a blog post about the benefits of fanfiction, which got picked up and retweeted by the creators of Fanatical: The Sci-Fi Convention Musical. Then I faffed around […]

Summary: I’m keeping up my writing days, so I’m on track to double my GYWO pledge level for the year, but none of my sessions this week were particularly long or massively productive. It’s all about finding a balance between quality and quantity, productivity and relaxation.   Wednesday: I met Hannah after work for a […]

Summary:   One really good, productive session, and lot of little bits throughout the week.   Monday:   I met Ann at Good & Proper with a resolution that I would write at least one paragraph for each of the three main fiction projects on my list at the moment (with the hope that one […]
