Planning out my writing week with this little book

Planning out my writing week with this little book. I’ve not tried this method before, but with so much to do, I’m giving it a go.

I’ve separated it into a weekly spread, showing days of the week at the top including my meal planner, because deciding what to eat seems to be such a headache lately!

Then got a tracker for my every day tasks underneath that and tracking for my edit that’s underway.

I’m hoping that by keeping a note of everything I can get it all done and get this edit over to my agent at last!

It’s been a long weekend here and the sun has been out for most of it.🌞🌞🌞
I’ve seen friends, gone to the pub, read in the sunshine, been out in the water, tinkered with my novel and just had the best time.

What have you been up to?

I thought I was almost done with my edits, just ha

I thought I was almost done with my edits, just had the last quarter to go, and then I got a new insight and bam. 💥

Things need to change.
I am so not nearly done at all.

This is the beauty of having a long suffering husband like @lakelandfalconer who doesn’t mind being my first reader and is brave enough to ask all the questions that I don’t have answers to.

Thought my plot was watertight but turns out it’s not.

So the moral here I suppose is always get yourself a trusted reader. Someone who you can take criticism from, someone who has the guts to tell you when your story isn’t working and will ask you difficult questions about it.

Always, always learning and always getting better at the craft for it.

Went to my favourite place, ordered a coffee, read my book and it was SO GOOD!
I have missed this. ☕️📚

When do you know a book is just going to be amazin

When do you know a book is just going to be amazing?

For me it’s the first page.
It doesn’t have to be a massive hook, or a shocking event, it’s the voice. If I like the way it’s narrated, then I’m all in.

What is it for you?

Friday!
So this weeks progress:
I edited quite a bit of the WIP, pitched a couple of editors with ideas, found out that blogging is still HUGE (thanks to you lot) and now have to untangle all the ideas I have to do with my website and blog.

What were your wins this week?

Do you read blogs?

I used to have a load of blogs that I went to, but now I seem to get everything through email.

And I’ve not blogged in so long, just wondering if it’s worth it?

Hurrah for the weekend!

This week has felt long, but I’ve got loads done.

I’ve edited quite a bit and am still loving my MS and I’ve managed to read two books.
One fiction and one memoir and I’ll be talking about both in my May newsletter.

What are your wins this week?

After months, lockdown is easing here in the UK and we were able to sit outside in the sunshine and read with a coffee. Bliss.
Hope you had some sunshine where you were today 🌞🌞

I’m typing this having just finished the first chapter of a book that has got me hooked.

I’ll tell you what it is after I read a bit more as I have a rule of only talking about books I like.
But just wanted to share that ‘OMG I’m going to love this book’ feeling.

What was the last book that made you feel like that after just one chapter?

My newsletter went out today. First one I’ve written in yonks.

And then news came that the Duke of Edinburgh had died. They were married for nearly 74 years. Life partners. It’s so sad.

I had this photo and my caption all planned, but I didn’t feel I could make a post going all ‘yay subscribe to my newsletter’ when that happened today and not mention it.

I didn’t consider myself a royalist, but I realised with this news that maybe I am. It’s just so sad.
Will be raising a glass to him tonight.
