It’s a bit of a gamble. And if it doesn’t work, I probably won’t try it again. But – as explained in last month’s post – to find more time to write fiction, I’m now not writing any at all!
This isn’t what they teach you in all the books. The adage is to write every day, and it’s sound advice. But there are also times to break the rules, and this seems like one of those times.
To be fair, writing is still part of my daily schedule. More than ever, in fact; just not fiction. I’m writing content for a business project, and I’m about 16% of the way through phase one.
The first phase is intense. But, around mid-September, things should settle down a bit. And then I’ll be able to get back to writing fiction for an hour a day and build out from there.
Well, this is the plan.
In other news – entirely unrelated to writing – we’ve started work on cutting back the jungle of weeds that are taking over our garden. And the decking will need replacing before anyone falls through.
It’s another project and a nice change from working indoors on the laptop all day. And the beautiful trees on the horizon make it a great relaxing space. We hope to get it sorted for this time next year.
