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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

I might have had a raving busy week last week, but one thing is for sure: Being busy in the week and completing all of your jobs mean you get…

I worked until 4:30am Friday morning on ‘Thursday’, and that meant I had a long lie-in on Friday. I didn’t wake up until midday! And I still had work to…

I spent a lot of time on Wednesday faffing with Trello when I should have been ghostwriting. By about 11pm, I realised I still had too much work to do…
