Last Week’s Goals My three posts went out as scheduled. I had some more stories return from market (the rejection letter said one of them had been a finalist), and dutifully sent them out again. Cats of War III (the third Herc Tom, Champion of the Empire collection) began its preorder (and Smashwords FREE Presale) campaign … Continue reading
Last Week’s Goals I chose to skip Meandering Monday last week, and managed to feel a little less guilty about it (so a little success in my unofficial goal to not be a slave to my goals…), but my other two posts went out as scheduled. I had another couple of stories returned from markets, … Continue reading
Last Week’s Goals All three blog posts went out as scheduled. I had another 4 stories return from market, and they were sent back out to the next prospective publication. Ups and Downs: Detective Jimmy Delaney Collection #3 completed its release weekend. My next scheduled release is July 8th, and will probably be my third … Continue reading
This week we visit “The Right Idea” – Detective Jimmy Delaney story #3. I wrote “In a Flash” as a standalone short story, and thought that was it – but then Jimmy said “Hey, what about this other case, and “Mixed Signals” came to be. But once I let Jimmy in he wouldn’t go away. … Continue reading

I finished my reacquaintance revision of Swordsmaster: Deception. I wrote six days, but didn’t make my daily quota … Continue reading
Last Week’s Goals Three blog entries posted as scheduled. I have everything I can reasonably expect back out to market. (There are a couple of stories that are waiting for markets to open.) I finished my rereading of Patrick Rothfuss’ Kingkiller Chronicles trilogy (The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man’s Fear; I’ve been … Continue reading
Last Week’s Goals Three blog entries on posted as scheduled. I managed to get all my available stories out to market, but “Lasting Impression” returned, and so far all the markets remaining for it are temporarily closed (sadly, that was permanently in a couple of cases), so I’m waiting for some openings so I can … Continue reading
Last Week’s Goals I posted my three blog entries on schedule. I had two more stories return from market, plus I completed revisions on the last two stories I’ve written, so I had to find four markets to submit to. It’s really helpful that I can finally log my submissions and responses in Literarium – it … Continue reading
I quite often don’t know where a story is going. It’s actually one of the joys of writing for me – I get to be surprised by and enjoy my stories as much as my readers do. Continue reading
Last Week’s Goals All my blog posts went out on time. Two stories returned from market and cycled back out. I note that I am failing on one of my goals for this year: I was supposed to review and revamp my blurbs and keywords by the end of June – this has not … Continue reading
