Monthly Roundup: August 2016

Another month down. Quick update, as I barely have time to breathe these days.

Writing:

Almost all of the work I did this month wasn’t heavy on word counts. I re-proofed Shadowplay for the December re-release, finished a short story then re-drafted it, and did Masquerade copyedits and Shattered Minds line edits. Fiction: 5900 words; nonfiction: 3175. Total: 9075. Yearly total: 211,566.

Travel & Life:

I started my new job at Napier in Edinburgh on the 18th, so I commuted down three times for work and to start scoping out places to live. We also went to Copenhagen for a friend’s wedding. Life has been packing, getting ready to move, and overall it’s exciting and very stressful.

Plans for next month:

Move out of our Aberdeen flat and into Craig’s parents until we can enter our Edinburgh flat. Start the new academic year. Eat a lot of chocolate.
