Monday 11 September 2023: Anatomy of a messy desk

So this was the sight that greeted me when I went into the office this morning. I can’t stand an untidy desk and I can’t work at one. But this is how I left it on… Wednesday last week. Yes, Wednesday. And not a single item has moved. Why? Because I fell down a complete rabbit hole and stayed there...

Thursday 10 August 2023: A morning of writing

For the second day on the trot the poet was up early and off on a business trip. On Tuesday he had to drive south to the midlands. Yesterday he had to cross the Pennines to Manchester. Both days I thought I might end up going back to sleep and waking up at 10am gone. Both times the dog had...

Tuesday 8 August 2023: A fragmented day

The weekend went by in a bit of a blur. Not because of anything in particular. I just don’t feel like I even had a weekend. We were up early on Saturday because the poet had an early start for a gig that night. Because I’d spent ALL of Friday on the mockups, I hadn’t done a meal plan or...

Thursday 13 July 2023: I wrote a short story set on a ship

The very last thing I did before going to sleep on Tuesday night was plot out the storyline for The City of Glasgow. I used Story Plotter on my phone. It’s not the best plotting app/program I have. That’s by far and without doubt Plottr. but I don’t have Plottr on my phone as I haven’t yet been able to...

Thursday 15 June 2023: Long night ahead

The weather is a lot more bearable at the moment, despite the storms never arriving. There’s a cool, fresh breeze and that makes a massive difference inside the house when the doors and windows are open and the curtains closed. We have rain forecast next week, all week. But as the thunderstorms managed to go around us every day this...

Chapter 11: Week commencing Friday 11 March Friday Well, would you look at that! Chapter 11 starts on 11 March.

Diary of a Tiger: w/c Fri 18 Feb

Chapter 8: Week commencing Friday 18 February Friday I struggled to do my ghostwriting for GW2 on Thursday evening. The poet had gone to band practice and that gave me an extra couple of hours. I spent most of them doing my regular competitions though, playing with Plottr, and an online jigsaw (well, it was after 5pm), but I still...

Diary of a Tiger: w/c Fri 11 Feb

Chapter 7: Week commencing Friday 11 February Friday The plan on Friday was to spend the morning completing the final few chapters for GW1 Book 8 before going to a funeral. However, when I found out that we had to leave the house for the funeral a lot earlier than I thought we would, I spent Thursday night finishing the...

Diary of a Tiger: w/c Fri 7 Jan

Chapter 2: Week commencing Friday 7 January Friday Yes, we start this week’s diary on Friday. This is because I post it on a Friday and in a lot of cases, schedule it the day before. After a busy week, and one lazy day, Friday was back to normal pretty much. The first job I did was a full readthrough...
