This week has been all about getting stuck in and getting jobs done. Writing, editing, tidying, cleaning, gardening, you name it, I probably did it.

I’ve been writing in the mornings before work again, which has been good. I have to keep reminding myself that I haven’t written myself into a corner, because I know where I want the story to go, it’s just that I seem to keep going off in tangents. I’m hoping to get myself out of that thought pattern tomorrow.

Editing has been a bit slower, I haven’t finished my skim reading, because everytime I start, I actually read through the chapter, which isn’t what I’m supposed to be doing. I’m hoping to get into the full edits this week.

I’ve also started cooking Japanese food, Udon soups, ramen meals, rice dishes, I’ve been making them all, and even had a go at crispy pork. Strangely you don’t seem to need as much food when eating Japanese. I’ve also been looking into some of their philosophy, and I’ve been trying to follow some of them, like cleaning every day. I try and clean every day, and following this theory is actually refreshing.

Work has been all about catching up on the small jobs that tend to get left and become big jobs. Getting in and finishing a big job makes me feel good and I like feeling good about my work. At home, I pruned my roses this weekend, so again, feeling like I’ve accomplished something.

How was your week?
