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…

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…

How can it be Thursday already? So, I didn’t move into the living room in the end to do the client edit on Tuesday. I remembered (and saw) the reading…

We’ve started this 16:8 eating thing and it’s taking a bit of getting used to. For the most part, I’ll be having 2 light meals and 1 main meal in…

So, at the end of Wednesday last week, Fallen Angel decided it didn’t want to be written yet. I’d made a start on the first chapter and managed 401 words….

Over the weekend I’d kind of decided to take the pressure off myself and only write an assignment for the space opera workshop if something grabbed me. I’m really not…

Wednesday morning started well. The birds had their first feed of the day (they really are eating a lot in this snow) and I’d shared yesterday’s blog post within about…
