In the days leading up to Easter, I was busy doing a ton of stuff. Time was running out on me and I had a lot to do. A lot….

The weather changed on the Tuesday before Easter, which foiled my plans for getting all the washing dry. But I’d had a good run. It didn’t rain in the end,…

After a relatively active Sunday, I did think I’d be in agony Monday morning. But I wasn’t. Always good to start the day with a bonus. Even better to start…

I experimented a bit with the cherry crumble topping on Monday night. The poet had already stoned and washed the cherries and I put them on to stew a little…

I managed to get up before the alarm on Tuesday, which was a great start. But I wanted to finish reading a book for review. It’s a re-read because the…

I really should know by now not to plan things too tightly. Or at least I should plan to faff as well. Maybe that way I’ll get more done. Yesterday…

I packed a lot into the last 2 days of the week last week, and I packed a bit into the weekend as well. Saturday I was determined to have…

So, I’m officially back from my annual Christmas holiday. We had a lovely break. I hope you had a great time too. Thursday and Friday of last week were gentle,…

I’ve been down a research hole for pretty much the entire week looking for resources to help me with my planning and project management in the coming year. I’m delighted…

We were away last week for a few days, down south in Faversham, which is only a few miles away from the south coast. We drove down on Tuesday, the…

First job on Monday was Monday’s blog post. I’d started it on Friday and intended to complete it over the weekend as I worked. As I didn’t work at the…

I forgot to mention in Friday’s post that on Wednesday the money I was owed by Vocal landed in my bank account. On Thursday morning, another job I did from…

I was a day behind all week on my blog posts, so when the poet finished his work on Wednesday and we decided to head home on Thursday, I didn’t…

September work proper finally got underway yesterday. But still I had to rejig things around so that I don’t fall too far behind. I’ve had to step away from the…

Having identified no fixed routine as a possible problem when doing my work (or not doing it, as the case too often turns out), I started to make a plan….

Tuesday continued on from Monday in that I carried on doing short story planning work. I couldn’t get the dates to work out, though, and spent a lot of time…

I didn’t quite stop work on Monday night at the end of the working day. Instead, I took two notebooks into the living room and jotted a few things down…

Well, this is a long one. I’d make a drink and pull up a chair if I were you… The dog waited until about 6:30am to wake me up yesterday,…

First thing Friday morning I had my new-patient appointment at our new doctors. So I took some letters to the letterbox and was early for my appointment. This is the…

As each day passes I’m getting to my desk closer and closer to that magical ten o’clock… I just haven’t made it there yet. First job of the day was…

It was still morning when I arrived at my desk yesterday and the first thing I did was pick up the workbook I’d deliberately left there the night before and…

Today is 1 December, which means for me it’s the time of year for planning ahead. And I have a lot of planning to do for next year if I…

I’ve had a busy couple of weeks, mostly doing one of two things: Planning Ghostwriting I break up for Christmas on 16 December. Before then I had 40,000 words to…

I’m already planning ahead to the new year, mostly because I have to do some planning in order to keep on top of everything. And now is the time I’m…

Thursday 26 August 2021 I had a lot to do on Thursday, so I was happy when I made it to my desk at a reasonable time again. I started…

I’m a bit late to the June party. This is because I’m actually on holiday this week. I’ve been doing odds and sods as well, but we’ve also be taking…

I love using Scrivener. I think it’s an ace tool for all aspects of your writing, including if you decide to self-publish and/or produce book bundles. Once I have my…

As I’m up to date with client work, today I decided to start planning my own writing work for the new year. I use a 10-project planner spreadsheet. And while…
