Well we had a lovely evening last night and despite having had a glass or two of gorgeous White Cloud wine (from New Zealand, do try it if you’re a white wine lover!) I’m up and ready for work as usual this morning. Today’s work is split between articles and blogs; no larger projects to work on at the moment, such as eBooks for example. Mind you, I had a… Continue reading

0800 – yes I had a half hour lie in this morning, helped by the scaffolding keeping everything a bit darker than usual outside (not to mention the overcast and dull weather).
I’ve done some rearranging this week and it’s enabled me to get plenty of time off from client projects today. As a result I’m going to crack on with some more articles for our own websites; some… Continue reading

Hi all. If you’ve been following my 29 Days of Online Writing series in recent days, you’ll know that this time last week we got up to find we had a major gas leak. So, during probably the coldest week of the year so far (-8C on Friday night) we had no central heating and no hot water. I did say I may… Continue reading

Whoa – one third of the way through the month already! Today has been hectic already; I’ve got several deadlines on jobs that are due today, so I’m working with my head down to get all those done first.
1457 – here’s a little insight into how my day has gone so far. I had 8 jobs to do this morning; I now have 3 remaining. One of those… Continue reading

Morning all. I can’t believe it’s Thursday already. My writing week always seems to fly by so quickly. Normally I will find some time to look for new sources of work or new clients, but I haven’t done a lot of that this week. What with the gas leak at home and catching up on work after Monday’s upheaval, it seemed more practical to get on with the work I… Continue reading

0747 – I was indeed up by 7am this morning… and in bed asleep by half eight last night! I think the stress of yesterday (and the realisation that we had a major gas leak) hit me later on in the day. I felt so tired. MUCH better this morning thankfully after a good night’s sleep. Just about to start proper now…
Back to work after a hectic… Continue reading

Morning all! The office clear up on Saturday has really done wonders for my positivity this morning. Monday has started as it usually does, completing a few weekly blogs for various clients. Monday seems to be the preferred day for many people when it comes to blogging; not sure if this applies to everyone or whether all my clients simply like it that way! Either way it adds some spice… Continue reading

Hi all. It’s not a day for writing today – apart from adding a short entry to my 29 Days of Online Writing series. If you read yesterday’s entry you’ll know that I managed to get all my work done in plenty of time to have the whole weekend off. That means I have no excuse for not tidying the office.
It also got me thinking about the state of my… Continue reading

Morning! Ok day three of my 29 Days of Online Writing, and I’d decided I deserved a lie in this morning. For me this typically means setting the alarm for 8am instead of anything between 7am and half past, so not really much of a lie in. But I’ve found I don’t write so well if I get up any later than that on a work day. I can’t help… Continue reading

0717 – It’s day two and I got up at 7am this morning to get a good start on the day. Armed with tea and toast, I am going to start by writing three short articles to complete the work due on one of our own sites before I do any client work. I know that if I get our work done first, I can relax and get on with… Continue reading

Glad you could join me at the very beginning of my new 29 Days of Online Writing blog series! Here we are on the first day of a brand new month and I’ve kicked off a VERY cold day at 8am by clearing out some emails. I responded to one or two clients, and now it’s time to start writing.
I have a tiny edit and a press release to do… Continue reading

It’s hard to believe it, but tomorrow is February 1st. And that means it is the first day of my month long insight into the life of an online writer. As of tomorrow I will be posting to my blog every day (except on days off, like Sundays for example) and sharing with you what I get up to during the day. I’ll show you how I find jobs, what… Continue reading

I can hardly believe it is the 28th already! It has been a testing month (leaky roof, repairs and a fall down the stairs and a bruised coccyx for my partner) but despite all that I have still managed to achieve my writing goals for the month.
I started the year with the intention of finding some new clients, and I have added 4 to my books since returning to work… Continue reading

Just a short post today, because I wanted to share with you what happens when you set a goal to achieve something with your writing. I set myself a goal at the beginning of January to find ONE new client via my professional website, www.allisonwhitehead.co.uk. While some clients have found me through this blog, I did create a separate site targeted purely to… Continue reading
