My September wound up pretty busy, so I didn’t quite get in as many submissions as I might have liked. I did get three new pieces done and had three acceptances (all drabbles), so that was nice! I had a couple of pieces where the markets didn’t respond and one that closed, plus a poem I withdrew for my collection.
As for my August to-do list, I revised all of the flash fiction contest pieces, worked on daughter, started proofreading the novel, did some more freelance editing, and reviewed a couple of books. I didn’t get to the rest of the list, thought I did write nine poems in one day during Flights of Foundry!
For October, I want to try to:
- Finish first drafts of moving and guardian.
- Revise daughter and deer.
- Write a flash fiction piece.
- Write some Drawlloween drabbles.
- Write two book reviews.
- Do the layout for the novel.
- Edit more conference videos.
I’ve got a bit more travel this month, but I think this looks managable.
