  • Writing Reflection: Week of the 11th May 2020

    This week has been productive but not in a way that will show in my targets because it’s mostly been about getting things done on paper. I’ve been making progress with the Mid-way May Writing Goals I put forward and… Continue reading

  • My Motivation has a Glass of Wine

    Recently I’ve found that I have very little motivation at the moment. The days are flickering by and each time I write my Morning Pages I realise that I haven’t done anything the day before. Those deadlines aren’t losing track… Continue reading

    My Motivation has a Glass of Wine
  • Writing Reflection: Week of the 20th April 2020
