It’s time for another Week in the Life video from me.

Last week’s focus on taxes and other admin tasks kinda derailed my focus. I ended up doing too little writing and editing and way too much manuscript reformatting. Yes, a necessary task, but not something I wanted to do. It’s still on going.

In the near future I will be giving the changes to the Short Stories Series through to you. I think you’ll like it.

That’s it for today.

Cheers!

TAXES TAXES TAXES!

I spend most of my week and weekend compiling our records for tax purposes. The new season opens 21 July 2025 for those living in my part of the world.

Next on the to-do is getting my 3rd term planning done which I started yesterday. I’m a weak planner. It’s a odd concept for me because I don’t know how to handle it when life happens. I suppose, we keep trying, right?

That’s it for today.

Cheers!

It’s time for another Week in the Life video from me.

This week was admin-heavy—and somehow, nothing actually got wrapped up. Don’t you just hate that?

But hey, a few wins worth celebrating:
📬 The newsletter went out
🔍 My latest short story, Secrets In The Sand, kicked off on the #BlogAStory series
💬 And I finally faced the truth—my admin is behind.

I also connected with my BETA readers and critique partners this week. They are absolute gold. Even though the free version of the story isn’t perfectly polished yet, it’s solid. And these angels? They help take it to publishing level—especially when they read like both readers and editors. Magic.

For the rest of this week, I’m focusing on edits for Silver Murder and squeezing in some marketing for Secrets In The Sand’s pre-order on Amazon KU. Exciting stuff ahead!

That’s it for today.

Cheers!

If you’re on my newsletter list, you’re in for a treat this week. A brand new cozy mystery short story you’ll find there. It will then move to my #BlogAStory series on the blog and thereafter to KU! Subscribe below to not miss it!

Less than desired amounts of plotting happened, which is disappointing but here we are. Today is another day.

And then there’s a lot of writing that happened on Silver Murder! Somewhat offscreen because the urge hit me when we’re watching movies or driving or whatever obscure place you can think of. The editing of this cozy should happen this week and then I can finally continue the serial on the blog. Look out for the social media posts and the newsletter for announcements.

That’s it for today!

Cheers

Plotting plotting plotting! I did all of that on camera. And the actual writing off camera. Not sure why I did that, but here we are.

We had some internet outage since the weekend and everything had to wait. Especially updating this blog and fixing my website!!! So frustrating when the lovely things in life take a break.

That’s it for today!

I changed a few things this week. I suppose I simplified it a little bit. I’ll give some more details on the blog.

There’s some plotting and golf and other things I got up to this week. Have a look in the video below.

That’s it for today!

A productive week all in all. We welcomed some family for the weekend and I travelled for exams. So nothing too exceptional to report.

That’s it for today!

After a bit of a hiatus, I’m back. I missed blogging and writing. I think I’ll continue with the daily blogging and updating here on the website. In the meantime I’m getting knee deep into my cozy mystery, Silver Murder, and the plotting of my fantasy.

That’s it for today!

The second part of this week included kiddos and travelling for exam purposes. But the weekend required rest—including Mother’s Day!

There was writing, editing, and blogging. I’m so happy that I’ve been blogging every day now!

That’s it for today!

Much happened off-camera, so some days have no recordings! Ooops! No, excuse. I just didn’t think…

We’ve been writing, plotting, travelling, taking kiddo exams, and doing housework since our last chat.

I didn’t have much in the video about Saturday, but we enjoyed a day with some friends at a care facility for mentally disabled adults. It was a blast! 

If you ever struggle to enjoy life or see the beauty in life or just notice miracles, please find a way to spend some hours with mentally disabled people. I’m reminded time and again what actually matters.

Maybe one day I will tell you more about this side of my life. It’s not today.

That’s it for today!

Cheers
