This week in my life

I’m not sure where this week has gone? I’ve been off work so I haven’t really done that much apart from potty-training my daughter (which is going much better than I expected thankfully). We went to a local children’s activity park on Thursday and had a meal at my in-laws on Friday.

Yesterday was quite busy-after Mini-Me’s dance class we went to the park for a Teddy Bear’s Picnic event which was a lot of fun. Then in the evening, we had a meal out an American-style diner to celebrate my stepdad’s birthday.

This week on the blog

Strangely, I didn’t feel like doing that much blogging this week so I haven’t been that productive. I’ve still been investigating all the errors that keep happening and am thinking of changing hosts but it all sounds so laborious and scary.

Writing update

I wrote over 3000 words on Monday but then I slacked off for the rest of the week. I’m still on track, but a little annoyed with myself for not working harder. I’m nearly at 20,000 words so I’m about a third of the way through now. I seem to spend more time daydreaming about the book than actually writing it though.

I wanted a neat visual way to track my progress so I signed up to Pacemaker and I love it! I can see how I’m doing with various handy little graphs. I love how easy it is to customise. 

What I’m reading

I finished Twisted Tales by Deborah A Stansil, which was very creepy and interesting. I’ve still got a few other books on the go which I hope to finish and review soon. I’m starting to get back into short stories again.

Latest goodies

I’ve been enjoying Some of the Best from Tor.com: 2012 Edition, so I decided to get a couple of other anthologies that were free on Kindle, as well as a crime novel that sounds interesting.
