We had a busy weekend that started on Thursday night really. We went out to see a band but the place was far too packed and the sound was far…

I’ve had a good run this week for getting up either early or on time and yesterday was no exception. I was also at my desk bang on 10am. Starting…

I was up relatively early again on Tuesday and, again, I got through a lot of stuff on the phone over breakfast because I knew pretty much what I would…

We were up relatively early on Monday as the poet was off on another trip away, this time down south. I had intended on going back to bed once he’d…

I was doing really well on Friday morning. I got up at 7:30am, all by myself (the poet was away), got dressed, etc, fed the animals, made myself a hot…

I’m always tired on Thursdays, I always have been. I’ve never known why, but it’s a regular phenomenon. So I can’t really blame getting up earlier than usual this week,…

We were up with the lark yesterday, because workmen replacing the conservatory were due at 8am. We got up at 7:30am (okay, it’s up with the lark for us, even…

Tuesday was better. What more can I say? Other than it wasn’t difficult. Again, much of the day was spent on the hard-copy edit. I only had 18 pages to…

Mondays are always good days as far as my work is concerned. They usually seem to be the most productive day all week. Apart from yesterday. Yesterday it looks as…

It carried on snowing through Thursday night and was really deep by Friday morning, so I actually spent a lot of time looking at and photrographing the snow too. The…

I’m sure you’ll all be delighted to know that the snow I ordered arrived in good time for my birthday. I got up early just so I could watch it…

It’s my birthday today. Again! It comes around every year, but it doesn’t seem five minutes since my last birthday post. I’ve already been treated to a trip to see…

I didn’t big-up the Monkey Dust admin enough on Monday. When I write it like that, it looks like quite a small job, but it’s actually a big-ish job. First…

What a great and busy weekend we had. We took the cat to the vet at teatime on Friday. It doesn’t matter what we say or what we do, they…

The last job I did on Thursday was finalise the three editing samples with tracked changes I did for an editing job I liked the look of. These weren’t paid…

Oh, my goodness. I had such a busy day on Thursday. I had a full and good night’s sleep for a change and could have quite happily got up an…

There are times when I am out and about and I don’t have my notebook or my laptop with me but I suddenly find I have time when I could…

The ghostwriting client confirmed safe receipt of both Part 4 and the bonus short story on Thursday, saying they would send it to editorial and let me know if there…

I didn’t do the writing prompts posts this week because I hadn’t done the leg work for July. So writing prompts for July should appear next week everywhere. It will…

On Tuesday morning, after working through the entire night, I submitted the fourth instalment of the ghostwriting at around 8am. As I mentioned yesterday, as the poet was getting up,…

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…

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…

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…

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…
