Well, the editing didn’t get finished as hoped, but that’s fairly standard – it always takes longer than I expect and there’s been quite a few other life distractions that have cut into my working time. I just have to keep on tracking down all those little niggles and smoothing them out for a little bit longer.
I need to get it done before 1 March though, because I don’t want it hanging about for too long: I’ll be really busy with my paid job after that for a little while, and I probably won’t get a lot of writing time.
I have one other piece of writing work to get done this week too – an exercise for writing group. I kind of feel that I have to do it as it’s the ‘homework’ I set people, to try out a particular technique and see if it helps them. Much as I find with the blog, I never really know what people will want from one month to the next, but I figure it’s good to share exercises and approaches that work for me because worst case scenario, they won’t work for someone else – there’s no risk factor.
Anyway, rather than talk about what I haven’t done, I’m going to share some positives…
- I got my tickets to see the Royal Shakespeare Company perform A Midsummer Night’s Dream
- I got a costume sorted out for a charity 1920’s dinner party next weekend
- I planned a trip to see family in the North of England
- I arranged not one but two reunions with school friends It’s a big anniversary year this year so I have quite a few events with different people to plan!
So not all bad; in fact some pretty cool ticks on the list this week – they’re just not quite where I was intending to tick.
But I take the good where I can.
Happy writing,
EJ
