Sunday 11th June 2017 Editing is simultaneously both fun and incredibly hard. Mentally, I’m deep into the line edits although in terms of number of chapters I’m still very near the beginning and I’m finding some of the changes really challenging. It’s not because they are difficult, per say, it’s just that they are making [...]
Saturday 10th June 2017 Today was given over to writing, and yet I worked out I really only had 2 solid hours in which to get any work done. I woke late. My sleeping patterns have still not recovered since getting back from Canada and so I find myself going to bed later and waking [...]
Friday 9th May 2017 Some days are just unproductive, even though want of trying. Today’s plan was to get the ball scene done. In many ways it’s a simple change. Currently hero stumbles across information at the ball. Instead, he has to go seek it out. It should be a simple change but it’s going [...]
Thursday 8th June 2017 I’ve managed to do a lot more editing today, and it’s been very scary. For the first part of this week it’s been both scary and fun. Today it was just scary. Today I well and truly stepped outside my comfort zone. I needed to move a scene to another part [...]
Wednesday 7th June 2017 Today has been a bit of a nothing day, but thanks to a productive day yesterday, I don’t feel frustrated by it. I woke late again, my body clock still not back to normal (thanks, fidgeting woman) but by the time I had breakfast and took care of a few things, [...]
Tuesday 6th May 2017 I’ve been editing in an entirely new way today. Usually, when I have a major edit to do, I’ll start at the beginning and work my way towards the end. I like working that way as it gives me somewhat of a sense of security. It means that I can check [...]
Monday 5th June 2017 You know that meme where someone is returning back to work after holiday wondering “how they got on without me?” They open the door to the office to see a post-apocalyptic wasteland, people running around on fire, others pulling their hair out screaming, you get the picture. This was my day [...]
Sunday 4th June 2016 Today was my first time swordfighting since before Chasepalooza. I managed to wake up in time but still felt a bit out of it. So I really wasn’t expecting much. In fact, I reckoned I was so out of shape that it might be best to give today a miss. But… [...]
Saturday 3rd June 2017 I was woken by my neighbour playing music in their garden. Bloody inconsiderate, I thought. Didn’t they think that people might need a lay in? Although I still felt tired, I was awake now so I got up… and then found it was Midday. Yep, I think I’m definitely suffering from [...]
Friday 2nd June 2017 I’ve heard it said that jetlag doesn’t hit you for a couple of days after returning, and that would seem to be the case because today I’ve been absolutely floored. I’ve always been pretty lucky. I usually opt to take a red-eye and try to sleep when flying back from North [...]
