Weekly Roundup 15th - 21st February

So another week ends...and begins. Last week I spent most of the time going through the edits for Touch of Silver, they are all but done now. I have one final read through and its all set. I really like this story, I had so much fun writing it.

In other things I've been writing up a large story that with some expansion will be ready to go in a month at the most - if nothing else makes its appearance.

The rest of the time has been spent working on pieces under my other pen-names. However I'm working on some plot lines that once Touch of Silver is out I'll be writing with earnest. Speaking of which I'm off to finish my 'final' read through before sending it back to my editor - wish me luck!

Weekly Roundup 8th - 14th February

So this week was mainly spent writing. I'm currently working on three stories. One that will be about 10k once I'm finished with it, a piece that will be around 4k and then a third that should be about 2,5k. All are about totally different subjects but are mainly contemporary.

I've done a lot of edits for Touch of Silver and although didn't get it finished like I hoped I'm on the last stretch now I hope.

I typed up a short story which means I can now begin to edit that and I've been working on some small edits on other pieces (checking the story flows etc.)

Hopefully by the end of the week I'll have tied up all the lose ends and created some new ones on new projects - fingers crossed!

Weekly Roundup

It's Monday! And February...which is scary to think we are already in our second month of 2010.

So edits of Touch of Silver are going smoothly. I'm trying to do it a piece at a time, I find that works better for me. If I try to do it all in one go my concentration just goes totally. I hope to get them all done by the end of the week if not sooner (well that's the plan anyway).

I'm working on a piece of writing which is a new style for me but I'm enjoying it so far, it'll be about 10k when I'm done with it...just less with some edits. I've got a market in mind for it so that will be done first draft by the end of the week also. I spent last week working on some of the details and have been working consistently on it since.

I've also got a short piece on the go which will be done by the end of the weekend. I'm starting to get into the habit of working on my longer works during the week and then for my weekend I work on short pieces.

Nothing was submitted last week but I'm working through edits of older stories that have been sitting waiting for me to get to them. I also totally cleared my writing desk finally after months of things piling up on it so I now have someplace to write once more! The way I work I tend to write everything in long hand then type it up as a first edit and then edit it and then edit some more.

And that's it for this week!
