Project List August 2013

To Do List

So it’s like the middle of the month, but better late than never!  O_o

For the last half of the month of August, I need to…

  • Submit short story “The Transference” to Writer’s Digest Popular Fiction Contest by September 1st.
  • Edit two documents for two different writing friends. (Done! 8.18.13 and 8.19.13)
  • FINISH FIRST ACT OF THE CONTEST ENTRY NOVEL.  At the moment I’m having a hard time seeing how I can have this entire thing finished and edited by October 1st, but I’m not giving up just yet.  I’m nearing 30k words and just getting toward the end of Act 1, so it’s likely going to be right around the standard sci-fi word count of 100k.  But that’s a big order to write and edit (and re-edit and re-edit) in a month and a half.  We’ll just have to see….!
  • ADDITION: I also need to edit the second chapter of the contest entry novel and send it out to my betas!  AGH! (Done! 8.17.13)

I think I’m just going to leave it at that, for now.  On top of all of this, we are preparing for our annual football kick off party, which has become a huge event, and I’m also starting up a small online shop to sell some of my arts and crafts.  So, this is a busy, busy end of summer!  But, I foresee many wonderful things ahead….

So Happy writing, all!

      LOL!!! Well thanks! 🙂 I am desperately behind in my blogging, truth be told, though most of that is to blame on a much-needed week-long vacation! I’m hoping things will settle down after the first week of September! Whew! I’m glad you stopped by here though, I was just wondering how you were doing! So I think I will go update myself on your blog right now! Best of luck with your own projects!

        I’ve also had a bit of a blogging break (dig that alliteration huh?) and have just this week plunged back in…

    An incredibly serious Good Luck to you on all of your endeavors this summer! You’ve put quite a bit on your plate. 🙂 Regardless, I look forward to reading about each of your projects (in however small an increment you’re able to talk about them at a time). I’m glad you got to take a break and I really hope you’re able to submit your story to the contest. 🙂
