The Diary Of A Wannabe Writer

I briefly update you on today’s writing and what I plan to do for the next two days

I am back home in the UK, and I’m very tired after long day at work. Too tired to do this really! However, I tell you what my plans are in terms of writing for the next three days.

I explain where in the world I am today, apologise for the mammoth that was yesterday’s show, and tell you about what I have written today (the start of Chapter 35) and what I will be writing next (when I get home tomorrow).

I allow myself a little bit longer for this particular show, and in it I talk about how this podcast has massively increased my productivity in writing. I also talk about what I would like to achieve before show 200, and a little bit more about British music. Thank you so much for listening and for all your support over the last few months. And yes, this one is a bit longer than my normal six minu...

It’s show 99 and I’m working all day today so here is something I recorded earlier…

I talk about finishing off chapter 34, as well as apologising for not doing a live show yesterday. Tomorrow will be an emergency podcast, but I’ll be back with a new one hopefully on Saturday.

An emergency podcast purely because I’ve been exceptionally busy today doing a task I’ve been putting off for ages and as a result not had time for any writing.

I unexpectedly managed to finish the first version of chapter 34 during a writing session in a coffee shop today (with a fellow writer). I talk about my plans to edit the chapter over the next couple of days and I also talk about some other things I have done today.

I continue to write chapter 34, and explain that whilst it’s deviating from my plan, it will end up in the right place at the end.

I talk about the chapter I started writing today, and about how I probably won’t get it finished before I go back back to work on Friday!

Had a very busy day today so here is an emergency podcast…

I talk about why I haven’t done very much today, what I am doing for work in the next month (or rather where I am going) and then talk about the fact I’m excited that we may have a British artist at the top of the UK Top 40 later today…

Whilst my car was being serviced, I insured that my scene breakdown for chapter 34 of “Empress Of The Trees” incorporated everything that had changed when I wrote the previous chapter, I have also started preparing another batch of submissions of “The English Hikikomori” to an agency…

I have published my latest Doctor Who/ The Bill crossover short story on my website, so follow the Linktree url at the end of the podcast if you would like to read it, I also lay out my plans for the next day or so in terms of writing.

I tell you about my trip to the American Embassy as well as finally signing off chapter 33. What a productive day!

I talk about the fact that I finished my short story today, as well as doing screen read throughs of that and chapter 33. I plan to sign off both over the next few days…

A little review of what I’ve achieved in the last nine days, and what I planned to do in the next eleven.

I’m due to fly home from Singapore later today, but in the show I talk about the latest music chart and how we need to start a new Britpop Revolution!

Today has been an extremely productive day, yesterday I said that I might do one of two things and it turns out I did them both! 

I have done some more writing! I update you on where I am in chapter 33 and on my 60/40 project entry for August (having failed to do one in July)

I talk briefly about my plans for writing over the next couple of days as well as making this podcast a little more regular than it has been this month.

As I walk to breakfast I update you on how close I am to completing the writing phase of Chapter 33, and my plans for the next 24 hours.

I talk about my day, what I’ve achieved, and what I hope to achieve tomorrow.

I have arrived in Singapore, and can’t stop thinking about what a tiny proportion of the British musiccharts are filled with British music! And I talk about my plans for writing tomorrow.

I explain how I’m generally struggling to motivate myself at the moment and hope that my forthcoming trip to Singapore will help with that.
