Bait, Fish, and Reel Report for June 2015!

As per usual, I feel like I didn't accomplish much last month. But upon reflection, I realize it wasn't as bad as it feels, really.

And now it is time to publicly declare what I intend to get done in June! It's going to be a busy month, folks. I love it when I set ridiculous self-imposed deadlines!

The Wordwraiths (my writing group) post our accomplishments and goals each month internally, so I ... View Post

Bait, Fish, and Reel Report May 2014

This translates to writing as working on projects-in-progress while at the same time submitting completed projects to potential markets and also continuing to cultivate new ideas for future projects. In case you missed my previous post on this subject, at the end of every month I compile a list of what I accomplished as far as ... View Post

Project List for May 2014

By the end of May 2014, I will: Edit and submit short story "Gray" to Daily Science Fiction (eh ... nope) Finish current WIP novel backstory scenes (as done as they will be for now, anyway 6.12.14) Attend Kansas City's ConQuesT 45 convention over Memorial Day weekend. (Exhausting but wonderful weekend!) Short and sweet this month, since it's already half over!  :P ... View Post
