This week’s log: Friday: Plotting Saturday: 4,185 words Monday: 3,151 words. And welcome to 2019. My relatives left on their 48 hr flights to Australia on Thursday, so Friday, I got straight into the first book for the year. In fact, I was anxious to do so. The time off was nice, but I was ready to

This time next week, I will be at the airport, picking up Strine-accented relatives. My Christmas vacation, which I have been working toward for well over six months, will have begun. So this is the last of the Weekly Work Log posts for this year. I will start the posts again in January, when I

I’m actually doing a lot, but I’m not writing, as I achieved my huge writing goal two weeks ago–I’m free and clear until mid-January, when I returned to work on the next book. In the meantime, I’m catching up on production for

No word log this week, as I’m not writing at the moment (see last week’s log for more on that). This week I put a small dent in the massive amount of production work that has been left undone. Nothing was missed or overlooked while I was in overdrive, but the important-but-not-urgent tasks got shoved
