Friday recap

| April 6, 2012

This week has been pretty slow on the writing front. The hubbie went on vacation sick, and I came home sick. It’s not totally clear if this is actually a cold or just allergies, but either way, the effect is the same. Can’t brain, has the dumb. But I did get a bit of work […]

March Recap

| March 27, 2012

As we’re off to the not-so-wilds of Michigan tomorrow, I’m posting my March recap today. I’m pretty darn sure I’m not going to get much writing done over the next few days. By the numbers Stories out at the beginning of the month: 4 Acceptances received: 0 Rejections received: 1 Resubmissions: 2 New Submissions: 0 […]

A late recap

| March 12, 2012

I forgot to post my weekly recap on Friday, so here it is today instead! This past week was mostly one for editing and reviewing. The only writing I got done was one section of a short story I was working on, though I’ve decided since that I’m going to shelve that story for a […]

Friday recap

| March 2, 2012

Well, we’re only two days into March, which means I don’t have much to report for my Write1Sub1 story. And really, I didn’t write much at all. I’ve been spending a lot of my spare time getting through this super thick anthology that I’m reviewing. Only 4 stories left now, which I hope I’ll finish […]

Friday Recap

| February 24, 2012

Wow, I kinda fell off from posting here. I suppose working 9 hour days will do that to a person. I didn’t quite get as much done this week as previously hoped for. I wrote another chapter for my novella, and then went back and partially fixed a problem that had occurred to me in […]

Friday Recap

| February 17, 2012

This week has been not too bad, though I suspect my total word count is very much on the low side. I wrote a piece of microfiction on Monday, which was accepted for publication on Tuesday. Last night, I knocked out one of the remaining chapters in my steampunk novella, though I already know it […]

Friday Recap

| February 10, 2012

This week has pretty much been a wash. I did write another book review, but that is all. Between being sick all weekend, then slowly recovering, and then Jeremy having surgery yesterday, my whole schedule has been wonky and weird and not conducive to writing. I had bold plans to finally get some writing done […]

Friday Recap

| February 3, 2012

This week, I managed to finish my story for January and get it submitted, a day ahead of schedule! I also wrote and submitted another review, and got started on a sort of urban fantasy short story, which currently has no title. I also went through Jeremy’s novella manuscript with a fine toothed comb, so […]

January recap

Well, I wrote two book reviews, figured […]
