Not much paid work at the moment - but I managed something that rarely happens in those circumstances, and did a ton of my own writing (six pieces of flash fiction!) instead! Hurrah! #amwriting #amediting #editor #writinglife #writingcommunity #flashfiction

I had a lot of paid editing work this week (hurrah!) but also finally managed to get back to my own writing after a three-week dry spell (double hurrah!). #amwriting #amediting #writinglife #writingcommunity #editor

Both brain and schedule got in the way of writing/editing last week, but that's okay. Things will get back on track again at some point - and it's always good to take a break. #amwriting #amediting #writinglife #writingcommunity #editor

Coming back from an amazing writing retreat turned out to be harder than I thought, so not much achieved on the writing front last week - but that's okay... Lots of irons in the fire for paid editing work, so fingers crossed! #writinglife #writingcommunity #amwriting #editor #amediting

This week, I finished the first draft of my novel, ran my first ever writing workshop and spent a glorious weekend with amazing writer friends - back to reality tomorrow, but lots of great memories... #writinglife #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity #editor

I feel like I've settled into the year a bit more on the writing/editing front - though all my current paid work ends on Thursday, so the usual freelance panic is settling in - will I ever work again??? #amwriting #amediting #editor #writingcommunity #writinglife

It was tough coming back to reality last week after Christmas, New Year and a writing retreat - but I got some paid work done and some of my own writing, plus lots of podcast output. #amwriting #amediting #writinglife #writingcommunity #editor

I have, as usual, set ambitious writing/editing/business goals for 2025 (novels, short stories, running workshops) but I'm planning to treat them lightly - if it stops being fun, I'll need to reassess and adjust... #amwriting #amediting #editor #writinglife #WritingCommunity

I spent last summer editing all the materials for the new Space: 1999 RPG from Anderson Entertainment - and then got to playtest it with the writer (my friend Andy from Corone Design) and the producers. The recording of the playtest session is now live! youtu.be/Qlu-7PCoSJ0?... #rpg #editor

I was very lucky to be able to start the year with an amazing writing retreat in Devon, where I wrote over 8000 words of my novel and seven entirely new (very) short stories! And now my brain is fried... #amwriting #amediting #writinglife #writingcommunity #editor

I love this time of year - finishing things off, making plans for the future... This week, I have played games and read books/comics, so my writing has mostly been reviews! Off on retreat tomorrow, though... #writinglife #writingcommunity #amwriting #amediting #editor

I read 120 books in 2024, which is quite a few more than in the last few years. My reviews were more than 70% positive, which is usually the case and always nice to reflect on. I also played a lot of great games - both video and board. #reflection #reviews #media #BookShelf

I love the end of the year, winding things up, reflecting on stuff and gearing up for the energy of a new year to come! I've read a lot of books this year and also done a lot of writing and editing, most of which I'm very happy about! #amwriting #amediting #writinglife #writingcommunity

The latest episode of the podcast I host with my husband just went live! I made him watch Man on Fire and I'm not sure if he's ever going to forgive me...

It's annual reflection time! I worked less this year, but my paid editing hourly rate went up, so that's a win overall! I also got 70% through the first draft of my new novel! And I might start running workshops in 2025! #amwriting #amediting #writinglife #writingcommunity

Glorious days of reading with readingretreat.co.uk are a great way to wind down for the end of the year! But I rather ruined the relaxing feel of the week by spending nine hours writing/editing in a cafe the day after my return! #amwriting #amediting #writinglife #writingcommunity

Months ago, I sent out a survey, asking for book recommendations - I now have a podcast episode all about my search for a five-star book, based on the results. Thanks so much to everyone who answered! stillloveit.libsyn.com/episode-89-r... #podcast #podcaster #books #reviews #podcasting

Last week was pretty good on both the writing and paid editing fronts. And I got to hang out with some wonderful writer friends at the weekend - face-to-face focus sessions (and drinking sessions!) are the best! #writinglife #writingcommunity #amwriting #amediting
