Writing Wednesday: Embarrassing Typos

Last week’s goals: 3 blog posts. Stories cycled to market as soon as markets were available (I’m getting low on submittable stories – there are only four making the rounds with publishers right now. I’m supposed to write another nine this year after Cat #6, but I’m warring with myself about doing that or returning … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Overthinking, Overcooking, and Over-Planning, Oh My!

GOALS from last week: 3 blog posts. Stories cycling back to market on schedule as best I can (flash fiction is still a problem.) I was able to prep and ePub “Interview with the Blue Neon God” in less than two days and made the release date. I was marginally social last week in my … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Out With My Old Goals and In With My New

Happy New Year! (at least we can all hope that it will be…) That’s what we celebrate every year – the hope that things will go well, and that we can effect change in ourselves and in our sphere of influence. That’s why we come up with these New Year’s resolutions – it’s about change … Continue reading →

It’s a lucky thing for me – … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Measuring My Work

Goals: Market rotations (every story back out to market within a week of returning to me) still keeping up, despite a dearth of markets (I need to revamp my list of markets.) I miss the days when Duotrope Digest was free – still not sure if it’s worth five dollars a month to have access … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: It Worked!

Last week’s goal recap – Blog postings, market rotations and ePublications all on schedule. But the most pivotal for me is 3757 WORDS! That’s what happens when I make a daily commitment of 300 words instead of a weekly one of 3000. Taking little bites instead of trying to swallow the apple whole is a … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Honestly

First, my goals updated: 3/3 blog postings Back-to-market rotation within 7 days is back on track ePublication every 4 weeks is on schedule (“Victimless” releases June 30th.) I wrote a very disappointing 820 (of expected 3000) words (a mere 27% of quota.) I’ve been a bit slipshod with my writing commitment, trying to make up … Continue reading →
