My Ghostwriting Weekly Review

It’s Sunday 1st February, the first day of Spring, and my 2nd weekly review.  This week wasn’t as hectic as last week but busy enough all the same:

Saturday 24th January

I received the next 2 pdf ebooks from my client that need to be proofread.  These are book 11 and 12 in the series.  I completed proofing books 10 and 11 today and sent them off for approval.

I completed some research today for the new blog that I am working on.  Found lots of excellent information that I can put to good use.  No launch date for the new blog as yet.

Sunday 25th January

Today was a busy day for me.  Yes I was working all weekend again but deadlines are deadlines and unfortunately this can happen when you work for yourself.

Completed book 12 in my proofing series today and forwarded to my client for approval.  So far everything is fine and there are now only 2 more books to complete in this project.

Received a rush project today from one of the websites I write for.  This was for 100 product descriptions at 50 words each.  The products in question were guitars not something that I am familiar with.  The deadline for these was Monday 26th.  Decided to get some help on this project and called in a favour from my friend Naoise.  I have been coaching her for a while now and it was time to see if I had done a good job.

Monday 26th January

Emma had school today and because it was a fine morning we actually walked to school.  This is part of my effort to get up to 10,000 steps each day.  Currently I do between 3,000 and 4,000.  I know I sit down too much but it comes with the job.

Finished the guitar descriptions today with the help of Naoise who completed 26 for me.  Sent these off and decided to take a break for the rest of the day.

Spent the evening catching up on twitter and finding some advertisers for my blog.

Tuesday 27th January

Both of my children were in school this morning so I got as much work done as possible.  Completed a new blog post today on the topic of ghostwriting rates which was something I had been meaning to do for a while.  It’s a very touchy subject and one that can generate a lot of interest.  I wrote tomorrows blog post also and did a paid blogging post for payperpost worth $15.

Spent the evening catching up on twitter and I read some more of the e-book I bought called “The Ultimate freelancer”.

Wednesday 28th January

Just Emma in school today.  We walked from our house to the school today which is a 25 minute walk.  It was enjoyable though and a great way to start the day.

Didn’t get much work done today as Conor was having one of those days where he just wanted me to play with him all day.  Did manage to write 1 article for the website I write for and do some rating on Helium.  I have earned over $15 this month and I have only submitted 2 articles.

Spent some time today looking for new plugins and themes for my website.  It really does need a facelift.  Downloaded the 125×125 advertising plugin and a number of different themes to try out.

Thursday 29th January

Thursday is my day off and today I went shopping with my Mom.  Ran a spyware check on both my PC and Laptop.

My proofing project came to a standstill as the last two books are not ready.  Did out the invoice for the completed books and sent them to my client.  The remaining two books will be proofed when they are ready and a seperate invoice will be created for them.

Finished reading The Ultimate freelancer and wrote a review of same for my blog.

Started looking for some project management and CRM software to help make things a little easier this year.

Friday 30th January

Both my children were in school again today so that meant I had a couple of hours to work today.  Did some articles for the website I work for, and continued looking for the right software for my business.  There are so many to choose from that I am completed baffled as to which one to go for.  I have decided to trial a few of them including Zoho Crm and Zoho Invoicing both of which are free for basic use.

Saturday 31st January

I had a complete day of rest today and I think it was well deserved don’t you.  Spend the day with Joe and the children and we even went shopping with my brother for new tiles for his house.  Watched a movie with the children and ordered in some food for dinner.  The perfect way to end the week.

Until next week,

Keep writing.
