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…

March was always going to be a big month, even with a hospital visit and a 2-week convalescence. Then I lost 2 whole days to the tax/NI fiasco as well….

Monday was publication day for Ash Wednesday, Flash Fiction #13. The plan was to plug it yesterday, as Monday’s post was the month ahead. But I missed yesterday too, so…

I was up on time on Friday and I read a daily newspaper over my first dirty cup of tea of the day. I didn’t play any games and I…

Yesterday turned into a bit of a publishing day. I still have a few books to get out before I push the publishing side of things to one side, and…

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…

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,…

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…

Well, I said we’d catch up on the weekend today, but the truth is we didn’t do very much at all. After his 4-day trip away, the poet was full…

Isn’t my 12-project planner wonderful? I keep mentioning it, so I thought I ought to at least give you a hint of what it looks like. This image is of…

  Gosh, what a lot of catching up I have to do today…Where did I leave you? Oh yes, Wednesday… I didn’t feel very well on Wednesday. During Monday night…

I was busy on Friday trying to catch up with everything. I wrote Friday’s blog, chose the picture, published it, then shared it. I did a quick 5-minute tech declutter….

It started to snow at about 6pm on Monday and continued through the night. By morning, it had stopped and was starting to thaw. My watch told me it would…

After a busy and lazy weekend we struggled to get up on Monday. And while I was having breakfast, I wandered off down another rabbit hole, this time watching a…

I took 2 days off last week, but that didn’t necessarily mean I didn’t do any work. Thursday morning we took the dog back to his humans. On the way…

The only thing I really worked on on Friday was The Secret of Whitehorse Farm. And even then it was only pre-writing. Everything else was on binder work in Scrivener…

How can it be Friday already? Skipping a blog day will probably have something do do with it. The week has flown, but while I’d normally be wondering what I’d…

Before I carry on, I’d just like to say IT’S PUBLICATION DAY! Paper Roses, a Wordsworth short, is out today! You can buy it from Books2Read/DianeWordsworth. Right, after I posted…

Much of Friday was spent finishing my wonderful spreadsheet – and it truly is marvellous. I keep wanting to look at it, to touch it, to play with the figures…
