Tuesday 6 August 2024: The month ahead

I had a very, very busy day yesterday planning out a short story writing schedule and making sure everything was on my power spreadsheet. I also had to update my word-count spreadsheets for July and create them for August. Creating them doesn’t take a lot of time, but I do have to manually add in the formulae, until I find out how to automate it all.

Now I’m only targeting my own fiction magazine, I’ve added the stories and the magazine into my schedule again. But it meant moving the rest of my writing with depth study to September and beyond for completion.

As we’re orf on our travels again today, there may not be another post until next week. I’ll try and post from Ireland if I can, though.

Hello August!

Here, then, is the plan for August:

  • new month wordcount & progress spreadsheets for August
  • Halloween cosy mystery novella
  • PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR WRITERS: GATE 3
  • 12 STORIES IN 12 MONTHS: Cheers!
  • newsletter
  • 5 stories over 5 weeks (inc. 12 STORIES)
  • client edit: Taliban book
  • (week) daily blog post
  • weekly tech scan
  • weekly backup
  • weekly diary work
  • Monkey Dust admin
  • Diane’s gig list admin every Thursday
  • dental appointment
  • service my car
  • service campervan
  • Monkey Dust gig #1
  • Monkey Dust gig #2
  • monthly schedule planning for September
  • advance finances for September
  • trip to Ireland
  • bank holiday

How’s your August looking?

  1. Busy month.

    I’m trying to stay quiet in August and just keep my head down working. The autumn is shaping up to be busy and interactive, so I need to gather my resources, rest up, integrate what i’ve learned the past few months, and use it as I plan.

    Have fun in Ireland!
