Writerly Goal Check


Editing rules the week this week, as it seems to have been ruling every week lately. But this week I’m working only on Wand of Ash. I have to get that one finished before I can get back to working on Symbiosis.

I have one submission out, the others have all come back home to roost for a while. That one out will be out for a long time as the market can sometimes take a full year to respond. Ordinarily I avoid markets with such long waits, but since I’m busy editing and won’t have time to rewrite or revise any of the short stories I have in my files I went ahead and submitted it so it could at least stand in line to be judged.

No guests lined up for Tuesday this week but I do have a pitch for Thursday. I can’t remember offhand who’s it is, though…and it’ll be whenever I can get home to look at my planning calendar before I can amend this line to say who it is. It’s either me or someone else, that’ much I know, haha. I am still taking pitch submissions but the line extends to mid-April right now. If you send yours in, I’ll let you know what date it is slotted and remind you the week of (usually right after I finish composing the Monday post).

The first round of postcard orders went well. They’re so pretty! When you get yours, I hope you like them as much as I do.
