June Results
I focused on the novel this month, at least until the 18th when I received my very awesome VP acceptance. I spent some time on short story revision after that, in preparation for the 6/30 WOTF deadline. I’m unhappy with the state of my short stories and due to my indecision on what to revise, I wasted time, something I hate. I usually commit to a story and deal with it regardless of how long it’ll take, but I got wishy-washy, and bounced between three stories, submitting only one.
- Winter Warrior (fantasy novel) – 14k words written
- Reading: 2 – Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (Adams) + Jumper (Gould)
- Rejections: 9
- Resubmissions: 10
- Critiques: 1
- Travel Arrangements for VP
July Goals
I have a schedule that’s working and writing that needs to be done. July is going to be awesome. I finally get to work on a science fiction story and make another submission to a particular science fiction market that likes one of my other stories enough that they haven’t yet rejected it. I think they’re waiting to see more from me, so I’m going to follow my instinct here and submit something new and awesome. (there’s that word again!)
- Novel: Winter Warrior (v01) – 1800w daily
- Short Story Drafts x1 (DDR)
- Short Story Rev x2 DDR + TLO rewrite & submission
- Novella Expansion: Surrender (this one is pushing it, I think, but I’d like to try to fit it in)
- Read x2
- Crits x4
