I stuck to my guns during the first half. Relatively sane hours, walking and the diet was balanced.
Second half – less so. A managed to secure some extra home-based work so that has taken up a lot of time in the evenings. There has also been added pressure at work due to the massive re-shuffle.
Lots of good things happened in June. Driving, extra training at work, new income stream, good review. Friends and family. The writing has been steady – with lots of progress on the plot frontage.
July Aims are:
- Enjoy holiday – relax
- Exercise and fresh air every day of hols
- Lots of fresh local food (inc seafood – yum)
- WRITING!
- Read – 4 books
- Friends and family visits (at least 2 planned)
- Spruce up image on return to work

My boss told me that I had exceeded expectations in my review today, which was a big surprise. I know that I take my job seriously and enjoy getting my teeth into projects, but I hadn’t really considered anyone else’s viewpoint. It’s just the way I think about work.
Nevertheless, it completely made my day. And I got some free cheese today too. Bonus!

I wrote 4K words this week as most of my energies went into another time-driven project. I’ve done some re-shuffling and deleting so now looking at a severely mown 17.5K word total.
Most of the emphasis is now on action – lots of chasing, killing, hiding from assorted nasties. I may need to vary the pace later by adding some slower scenes, but thought I’d get the juicy bits written first.
Need to do more on the project this week, so reckon I might hit the 20K if I’m lucky. I’ll be taking the laptop on holiday (for writing only – no internet) just in case we get bad weather. And once I’m back, I’m hoping that I’ll be able to establish a better routine.
