I’m back for day three of the roofing process and I’ve got another quiet day ahead for my online writing. But here is the strange thing – my work seems to have fitted around the roofing job automatically. We only found out last Friday that the roof was being done this week, and yet the [...]

It’s day two of the writing and roofing routine! It’s been okay working downstairs on the dining room table, although since we have open chimneys bits of dust and grit keep coming down every now and then. It’s okay once you get used to it. I’ve got half a day’s worth of work to do [...]

… and the new one starts to go on. We were up at 7am so we were ready and able to move the car if need be when they turned up. I set up my laptop (not used in six weeks!) and did a slew of updates and scans while we were having breakfast. By [...]

Just a couple of hours work to fit in this morning before I can start my weekend. How much time do you allow yourself off if you work as a full time online writer? Freelance writing jobs can take up huge swathes of your day if you let them. I must admit I’ve taken a [...]
Continue reading about [Day 17] Just a few freelance writing jobs to do today
Another bitty day of work today, as my sister and kids are coming round tomorrow. Thus my partner and I have some housework to do as well as working. I’ll probably have one or two bits to do tomorrow morning before they arrive, and then I can enjoy three days off from writing before returning [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Unless you are already a writer, you might wonder what an online writer actually gets up to all day. Do we really sit and read tweets and status updates, or even visit our favourite websites when we should be working? Working from home can definitely have its perks, and I for one wouldn’t want to [...]
