Tuesday 21 Feb 2023: Tired

21 February 2023 Diane writer at work

In between chapters on Sunday night, I made up a concoction of tuna chunks, oil and chicken gravy. Then I went for a quick walk in the dark to lay a gravy trail for the cat to follow back into

Monday 20 Feb 2023: It’s MY blog and I’ll write what I want

20 February 2023 Diane writer at work

Apparently I’m not supposed to write about how I had a bad writing day or how I didn’t write as much as I’d like. Apparently, I can only write about writing if it’s about technique or for recompense. Well, since

17 February 2023 Diane writer at work

Yesterday was not a great day. On Wednesday night at around 11pm, we let the dog out for his last stretch of the day and, as usual, the cat went with him for a walk around the garden. Since we’ve

Thursday 16 Feb 2023: I really should be writing

16 February 2023 Diane writer at work

I had another late start yesterday but I woke up with a determination to start working on at least one of my novels very soon. I can read and read and read the how-to books until I go cross-eyed, and

Tuesday 14 Feb 2023: Valentine’s Day

14 February 2023 Diane writer at work

The first jobs I did yesterday were more Vocal and Medium work. I still hadn’t had a response for the short story I submitted to Medium last Thursday despite the publication in question publishing quite a few other stories between

Monday 13 Feb 2023: A weekend of rest

13 February 2023 Diane writer at work

I didn’t manage to work through the night on Thursday. I was so poorly with the after effects of Covid that I gave up and went to bed. It was almost as debilitating as the disease itself. I had to

Friday 10 Feb 2023: All clear!

10 February 2023 Diane writer at work

Yay! We got the all clear yesterday, finally, when the poet tested negative for the second time on the trot. This means he can go to work, there will be a gig this week, and he can come shopping with

Thursday 9 Feb 2023: First negative test

9 February 2023 Diane writer at work

I decided not to work late on Tuesday as I already knew I’d be working late on Wednesday and I didn’t want work to intrude that much. When I got to my desk on Wednesday, I tried to reply to

Tuesday 7 Feb 2023: Technology fails everywhere

7 February 2023 Diane writer at work

I’ve been trialling Buffer for auto-posting blog posts to social media and, in the main, it’s doing all right. As a free customer, I can only link to three SM accounts which, at the moment, is enough because, at the

Monday 6 Feb 2023: Back to normal(ish)

6 February 2023 Diane writer at work

Well, I’m back to normal. The lurgy house is still going strong, but I have work to do and I’m already going to be a week late. I didn’t do a lot of work on Friday. I wanted to alternate

Friday 3 Feb 2023: Sea air

3 February 2023 Diane writer at work

So I sort of got back to work yesterday but by 3pm all I’d done was yesterday’s blog post. Oh yes, and I fired off an email to the ghostwriting client to let them know I was back at work,

Thursday 2 Feb 2023: Back to work… of a fashion

2 February 2023 Diane writer at work

Before he went to work yesterday, the poet tested himself for Covid and the result was negative. So off he pootled, and on his way home he called at his mother’s to drop in some test kits and he went

Monday 30 Jan 2023: bar graphs and pie charts

30 January 2023 Diane writer at work

After I’d finished work on Thursday, I took my pile of short story notebooks into the living room to do some more consolidating, and I think I’m up to date now with all of the ideas, topics, and outlines. Story

Friday 27 Jan 2023: new publication started

27 January 2023 Diane writer at work

I’d stayed up a bit late to get the short story submitted in time to the writing challenge, and that meant getting up late the next day as well. Once at my desk, though, I rattled through the faffy stuff,
