Today’s #WritingTask: more editing, but I’m meeting a writing friend in the local pub to work on it there, so that should dull the pain a little!

Today’s #WritingTask: write a scene in which my protagonist goes to a sex club. Sadly, I don’t know anything about sex clubs 😕
If anyone has any information about what going to a sex club is like, please drop a comment below 🤗

Apparently it’s Femdom Friday. New sub Libor has a lot to say about me. 📝

Today’s #WritingTask is editing the last few scenes I (crappily) wrote.
I’m doing in the beer garden of my local pub 🤗

In today’s #WritingTask, I made a spreadsheet 👀👀👀

In today’s #WritingTask, I did almost 2,000 words!!!
Which is great, but probably means a blank head tomorrow as I’ve totally emptied my well 😕

Today’s #WritingTask. Begin to tackle the latest round of edits from my brilliant agent on my speculative thriller.
She said this draft is “*so* much better” but there’s still loads to do to get it ready to submit to publishers (🫣)

Right. Another day, another round of editing.
In today’s #WritingTask, I’m going to transfer all those mark-ups onto the actual manuscript. This is generally reeeeeeally tedious transcription work (having done the hard thinking yesterday)… so I often do it in front of the telly 🤣🤣
#WhatToWatch?
Okay, I managed to read through and mark up all of those reordered scenes (THIRTY PAGES!!!!!), plus another ten pages on top.

Brain now total mush.

Still need to transcribe all those mark-ups onto the manuscript (tomorrow’s #WritingTask).

For now, I’m off to veg in front of #Succession.

Right! Today’s #WritingTask is rejigging all those scenes that are in the wrong order 🙄

It helps that I’ve now properly identified what plot event serves as the “mid-point” of my story. That was all wonky before and was messing up my scene sequences.

HOPEFULLY I’ll be sorting it now 🤞
Today, all I managed to do was realise that pretty much all of the next 10 scenes are all in a really duff order and need to be completely reshuffled.

I’ve already moved them around so many times gah!

I’ve marked up all the changes and tomorrow I’ll dive in & rejig the manuscript itself.

Onwards!
Well, I fixed two out of the three bits, but one of them I still haven’t tackled. It’s in a different timeline so I think I’m just gonna leave and come back to it much later.

Today’s #WritingTask is to push forwards with the next series of scenes, which I think are quite ropey, ugh 😬

Now that I’ve finished the latest draft of my manuscript, today’s #WritingTask might be the 2024 Christmas round robin letter 👀👀👀

In today’s #WritingTask, I emailed my agent to finally tell her about the secret side-project book I’ve been writing… 😬😬😬

Today’s #WritingTask is…
More outlining.
I’ve got a bunch of stuff to juggle at the climax so I’ve got to figure out how to make it all come together in just the right way 😅
Nailing the ending is hard, man.

Today’s #WritingTask: editing (again!) the first 20k of my secret side project, ready to send to my agent 😵😵😵
Why does one’s manuscript immediately become sh*t when you decide to send it to someone??? 🫠🫠🫠

Actually, todays #WritingTask was: have a day off🤣
My brain is a bit fried and I can’t think clearly about the book after working on it so non-stop intensely, so I’m going to step back and return to it fresh (hopefully) on Saturday 👍
Today I did all the planned transcribing and fixed 2/4 fudged bits.
Meaning… I reached THE END of the manuscript woo hoo!
But.
I’m not done (coz editing is never done) coz I’ve got 3 other even bigger fudgey bits I haven’t even looked at yet! 🫠
More tomorrow… Blech*

*the book is great, I promise!

In today’s #WritingTask, I managed another 1000 words, which I’m very pleased about as at this stage of the manuscript it’s easy to run out of steam. I just have to keep pushing on until the end! 😅😅😅
In other news, I read back the opening and I’m still quite pleased with it 🤗

Today’s #WritingTask: continue working through my MS scene-by-scene, editing as I go to bring everything in-line with the overview plan (I THINK) I’ve worked out.
It always feels like walking a tightrope—feeling I could crash and burn any moment, discovering my MS and plan aren’t working at all.

Today’s #WritingTask…

MORE EDITING😅😅😅

I’m hoping to get through another ~20 pages today, editing each scene to bring it in line with the overall vision for the book I’ve (finally! I think!) worked out.

Getting up, going in…

Today’s #WritingTask: rewatch the film #Candyman and plot its beat sheet to help me edit my own horror story.

(This is a brave move on my part, given how much this film freaked me out as a kid!)

Today’s #WritingTask… Write more!
I’m aiming for another 1,000 words. It’s quite a dramatic scene coming up, in which my protagonist realises maybe the the guy in prison didn’t commit the murder after all 😱😱😱

Right! Today’s #WritingTask: transfer all the edit notes I made on the PDF of my manuscript yesterday onto the original document. Most of this is just transcribing work, so I might do it in front of a few episodes of #Succession 😆
