Progress on last week’s goals: I made my three blog postings, but missed on my commenting on other people’s blogs (two is not enough – why is it so hard for me to do three?) I haven’t gotten very far into O’Connor & Chmilenko’s A Mark of Kings (in the past, I did most of … Continue reading

Writing Wednesday: Killing My Darlings
Last week’s progress: I made my three blog postings, and (just barely) my comments on others. I’ve started (again, just barely) a new book – A Mark of Kings by Bryce O’Connor & Luke Chmilenko.

While I was submitting it, I discovered that “Unaware” had been rejected by the same market (but they … Continue reading
Writing Wednesday: I Know Nothing
My report on last week’s goals: I posted my own blog on schedule, but fell short on my commenting again. This week I’m making a point of doing it at the start of the week. If you don’t prioritize, it doesn’t get done. When I took that Franklin Covey course in 2004 – the one … Continue reading
