How I Did
February was a whirl. I did achieve my goals though, so hooray for that. Here’s the break down.
– Write 4 Flash Fiction Friday Stories (one per week)
Done! And they were posted right here on ConniesRandomThoughts.
– Update my Blog and Facebook Fan page (Both are titled ConniesRandomThoughts) weekly
Done!
– Continue to revise Recall
Finished! I’m still deciding whether to try and sell it via traditional channels or self publish. It all has to do with whether the Writer’s Conference I want to take it to in May is going to come off or not. The info for it was supposed to be out at the beginning of February and I still haven’t heard from them. Even after repeated emails and a phone call. Sigh.
– Begin outlining Short Stories
I have been doing that and have several on standby for May Story A Day challenge. I’m thinking my goal for this challenge this year is going to be eight short stories. I managed six last year, so I think upping the total by two is pretty doable.
-Also!
I have begun revising my November 2012 NaNo story, TriPoint Station. I’m renaming it TriPoint Station: New Ship as a working title because I want to write a series about the station.
I have begun outlining the first book in the series, TriPoint Station: A New Start, in Scribophile. I just purchased Scribophile just for holding all of the information on the series. I’m still struggling with how to use it. But once I get that hurdle cleared, I won’t have to keep flipping through pages of notes and yellow stickies to find out what I called something in the previous book.
And yes, you read that right, I’ve got one month to outline A New Start because I plan on writing the 1st draft for it in the April Camp NaNo. So I get to add April Camp NaNo to April’s goals.
I also began a draft on a How To Design an ebook cover. I might as well make use of the notes I took for myself and share with everyone else. That will probably be my Vision submission for the summer. It still has a lot of bugs so I need to go through it again, making more detailed directions, for the beta test. I think I’ll get my husband to do that, muwahahahaahha.
Finally; I epublished a book, A Trio of Animal Tales. It’s out on Smashwords. My story After The Storm was rejected by Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show magazine so I submitted it to Asmiov’s Science Fiction and Fantasy magazine. I probably won’t hear anything back from them until April.
May you all have a very productive March!
