Image by Myriams-Fotos from Pixabay The first job I did on Tuesday morning was yesterday's writing prompts post. The second job I did was the first of this week's date work, as I ran out of time on Monday. So to hurry me along a bit, I finished all of August, as the last week… Continue reading More date work & Scrivener 3

Publicity
I was having a bit of a rummage through NetGalley to see if there were any new reviews for The Life of Richard Cadbury. I couldn't see any for that one, but there were a few new ones for the first book, A History of Cadbury. First job of the day for yesterday, then, was collecting 5… Continue reading Publicity
National lockdown, again
Image by J Garget from Pixabay I didn't have a great start to the new year. I was busy all day, yet I don't appear to have got anything done. And then, of course, came the news. National lockdown Not that a national lockdown changes anything much for me. But if the poet gets furloughed… Continue reading National lockdown, again

Writing and proofreading and indexing, oh my!
The River Torne is a river the poet used to fish when 'e worra lad (when he was a young man). In those days, the lads used to wait until the river had been dredged, usually around September time, and the reeds and weeds removed from the edges. Apparently, that was the best time to… Continue reading Writing and proofreading and indexing, oh my!
Do you need a logo?
So I've been reading this series about making money from home (Make Money from Home series by Sally Miller), and I'm finding it very interesting and informative. I'm trying a few things out that they suggest, and one of those is creating a logo. But do you need a logo? I'd never, ever thought about… Continue reading Do you need a logo?
Camp NaNoWriMo – Day 8
I didn't get a lot of my own work done on Friday. In fact, I didn't get any of my own work done on Friday. I was finishing a client edit that needed to be back by teatime as I didn't want to be working on it until 11 o'clock on a Friday night. So… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo – Day 8
Camp NaNoWriMo – Day 7
Admin time was a little longer yesterday, 25 minutes instead of 15. I stopped when I started to get distracted again, and I closed down social media and webmail. I don't have notifications for my webmail anymore, and I never really had notifications from social media. Sometimes, when an app is updated on my phone… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo – Day 7
Camp NaNoWriMo – and so it begins
Yes, it's started. And for the first time ever, I'm joining in with a Camp NaNoWriMo. This should be a little easier than the usual NaNoWriMo, as there are 31 days in July as opposed to the 30 days in November. But this time I'm just writing on normal work days, so that's weekdays only.… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo – and so it begins
Wednesday 9 October 2019
The morning went well yesterday, starting with me writing up the day's Pomodoros. I was out on Monday afternoon and didn't have time to do it at the end of the day. I wrote my daily blog post and I wrote up the report for the writers' group. Then I settled in to some writing… Continue reading Wednesday 9 October 2019
Facelift
Every so often, generally about once a year, I give the blog a bit of a facelift. This is mostly to keep it looking up to date. Recently, I changed this one to one I wasn't 100% happy with, but it did seem to give the place a more modern feel. However, the posts were… Continue reading Facelift
The alphabet adventurers
The time is near for my lifestyle blog, Tales From Baggins Bottom, to pack itself away. It has served me well, since 2005, across Blogger and WordPress. But things change, move on. And so have we. I have two new blogs that will probably cover everything that Baggins Bottom used to. One of these is… Continue reading The alphabet adventurers
Diary of a non-fiction book: week 1 – the story so far
A few weeks ago (on or around 12 June in fact, so it was longer ago than I thought), I was editing a book for lovely-already-boss and one chapter in particular gave me the germ of an idea for a book proposal of my own. I had a very quick think about it, and came… Continue reading Diary of a non-fiction book: week 1 – the story so far
