Devil's Work (revisited)

Quite by accident, I stumbled upon my story, “Devil’s Work,” in the April issue of Static Movement.  I submitted the story back in February–and it was rejected days later for not following their formatting guidelines regarding italics. Guess they changed their minds. And forgot to tell me about it.

Writing goals revisited

It’s half way through the year, and I decided to look at the writing goals I set back in January.  I’ve done some of them–and completely spaced on others.

  • Write one short story (flash or longer) a month.  NOT QUITE.
  • Finish novel and start sending it out.  GETTING THERE.
  • Apply for SFWA associate membership. DONE.
  • Make at least two more SFWA-qualifying sales and then apply for SFWA full membership.  MADE THE SALES, BUT HAVEN’T APPLIED YET.
  • Write / sell more YA short fiction.  DOING IT.
  • Dabble in YA nonfiction. STARTED.
  • Market more aggressively. (IE, polish up / send out back log of stories. Set aside one day a week for marketing.)  NOT SO MUCH.

I’d forgotten all about setting aside a day for marketing. Doh.
