My main focus recently has been job hunting as I was made redundant on 13 February 2017. I didn't want to lose touch with my writing so I set myself a challenge for Valentine day. The Challenge
Starting from 14 February 2017, for fourteen days, I would post a love poem. It involved reading some of my old work and editing to publish one each day. I posted the poems to Wattpad.
I discovered poems I had forgotten about. Some of these, I am really proud of and others just needed a little editing (and some were so cringe worthy that we shall not speak of).
Next year, I plan to set myself the challenge again and I plan on creating more poetry books in future.

Organising Writing
The unexpected reward was how amazing it felt to organise my work. I've written so much, in various stages of edits, it is hard to keep track of it all. Sorting them into a novel and posting online not only enables me to get the feedback I need but also is an easy way of organising my work.
I have written so much that my MS Office OneDrive has exceeded the space limit! I remember my IT Department thinking I was nuts when I said I need to buy a 128gb USB to free up space on my computer by moving my writing.
If anyone has any tips on how to organise writing (with multiple versions), please let me know.
