Writing Wednesday: Writing and Revisions

Goal monitoring continues (as it always should – don’t let yourself slide.) Three blog postings, as expected. – check! Now that I’ve decided to ePublish “Victimless”, the submissions rotation (back out to another market within a week of returning from a submission.) My indie publishing schedule is still good (“Victimless” will release on June 30th.) … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Finishing It From Both Ends

Goals: Having a little trouble keeping to rotating rejected pieces back to market in seven days. “Victimless” came back to me a sixth time, and I try to go to at least nine markets before I ePublish; I have a list of markets I send to, and as some have closed up shop recently, and … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: You Must Write. You Must Finish.

Goals recap: The cycle of rejection – I mean resubmission to the markets continues apace (no longer than 7 days after return.) I made my three blog entries again.

I put “Goddesses” out on preorder, so it’s obviously set for the May 5th release date. I produced 2279 words (76% … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Why I Can’t Take a Break

I reduced the quota to three when the time constraints became apparent in practice, but I never envisioned … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Things to Pay Attention To

Weekly goal status: Stories-to-Market rotation continues on schedule, as do my 3-per-week blogs. The preorder campaign for The First Three ‘Things I Could Get Out of My Mind’ is on. I haven’t created the paperback yet – it may not be available until after the release weekend (it takes a lot of time to format … Continue reading →
