The past couple months
Dec. 1st, 2019 10:18 amOctober was a good month. Stories were accepted for publication next year in Eighteen (XVIII) and Corvid Queen. I also had stories make it to the second round in the slush piles of some well-regarded places, so even if none of those pan out it still makes me feel like I'm not totally wasting my time (or the editors'). I meant to be more consistent about Inktober, but I'm glad I played around with the art pens at least a bit.
November was a month of rejections, which was neither surprising nor demoralizing (see "second round" above). I signed up to do NaNoWriMo--as a rebel, with a list of short stories I wanted to finish or at least make progress on. I have...not finished any of them, and worked on only two. (I edged past 10% of the 50K NaNo goal, which was not my personal goal, but still. Not terribly impressive output.) So much for the helpfulness of self-imposed deadlines. It was also a heavy day job month and I'm pondering ways to integrate writing time into my new schedule.
