So I was busily working away on Thursday, going through the regular jobs on auto-pilot, thinking I had the whole day ahead of me. Which, of course, I did. Just…

Wednesday dawned and the first job of the day, after all the usual household stuff, was Week 2 of the previous start-date’s 50 crime mystery prompts workshop, which I was…

Yesterday morning started well enough, certainly better than the previous 2 days. I was up on time and at my desk on time, but the first jobs I had to…

Thursday started with me giving that story another go I’d abandoned halfway through. Yes, we’re supposed to read these stories for entertainment and if we’re not enjoying it we’re supposed…

By the end of Tuesday, UK time, the new week’s videos still weren’t up for the 50 murder mystery prompts workshop. First thing Wednesday morning, I looked, and there they…

After a really late night on Sunday I had an extra hour in bed on Monday, which put me an hour behind on the rest of the day too. I…

I was up on time on Friday, and instead of reading a newspaper or playing a game, once I’d fed and watered the garden birds, I read a short story…

I managed to get up on time on Thursday and feed and water the birds before settling down with my dirty cuppa. Instead of watching a video, though, I read…

I had a very busy week last week. Most days were 12-hour days, minus 3 x 1-hour breaks, so I suppose 9-hour days, but they were still long and busy….

Well, we had another holiday and I scheduled 7 posts to publish, both while we were away and right after we came back. They all seem to have worked, I…

On the Friday before the holiday weekend, I struggled to get up. We both did. But I had work to do and he had meetings to attend. We were so…

This is the last of my favourite pictures taken on the phone while we were doing the NC500. We saw sheep and lambs everywhere we went, and these were snapped…

I received a number of emails on Tuesday evening, first letting me know that the blinds would be delivered by Friday, and then telling me they’d be delivered on Thursday….

Friday seems like such a long time ago. We must have had a good weekend. I know I forgot to write today’s blog post, so I’m writing it Monday morning…

Before going to bed on Tuesday night, I had a play with book covers on Canva. I’m planning Book 7 of the great novella challenge, and I wanted to (a)…

Did anyone notice we were gone? We had a lovely 2½ weeks doing the NC500 in our campervan. The NC500 is the North Scotland coastal route and it’s about 520…

Tuesday was such a busy day, I wanted to take it easier on Wednesday. But there were more jobs on the to-do list and one of them took longer than…

…this is a long one. Friday Friday seems such a long time ago now. I was still working on The Christmas Tree Mystery, but I had to finish work early…

After getting up early on Wednesday, I slept in a bit on Thursday. I was only 10 minutes after the alarm, so not too bad. But I was tired. I’d…

Writing the first scene of the new novella got me over the starting hump. Once that was down, the ideas started to come for the rest of the Act, and…

I seem to be getting back up to steam on the workflow. Friday was a good day, even if I didn’t get a lot of actual writing done for the…

Time flies so quickly! It will be April soon. Having not yet settled on my next read, I didn’t do anything over my dirty cuppa yesterday, and I was at…

Yesterday wasn’t a bad day. Over my ‘dirty’ cuppa, I finished re-reading Jane Eyre. It’s one of the set reading books for the gothic writing workshop that happens at the…
