Monday blogging was too much to ask, so I am wrapping up the month today instead. Overall, making goals and adding things to my calendar in small pieces is working well. Breaking up the overwhelming things makes them appear less intimidating. So here it is.
Read Writing Irresistable Kidlit, by Mary Kole and blogged about it.
Read The Christmas Sweater, by Glenn Beck and blogged about it.
Still half-way through The Alchemyst, by Michael Scott.
About 3/4 through Game of Thrones, Book 1, by George R. R. Martin. (This counts as at least one.)
2) Post on every member’s blog once per week.
Week 1: DONE
Week 2: DONE
I haven’t done this again. I get discouraged by people on #WriteMotivation who don’t reciprocate, and that got me a bit down. Sorry to those of you who actually have supported me. Your comments help more than you realize.
3) Send out 15 agent queries.
DONE!
4) Do not get depressed when I am rejected.
Got two rejections within about 15 minutes of querying. Not sure how to take that. But not depressed.
5) Finish final edit of TPR.
Week 1: Chapter 18 of 32. I feel good about this.
Week 2: Chapter 26 of 32. Woot!
DONE!
6) Outline all of TGM. Decide on POV and tense for TGM.
Week 1: Have to finish 5 first.
Week 2: No change.
NOPE!
But, hey, I did a lot this month. So I made myself molasses cookies. (My favorite.) Wish you were here to share them with me.
Those cookies look GOOOOOD, Heather!! And you did get a lot done this month, well done!!
They don’t look as good on my rear, but it was worth all the exercise I’m going to have to do. Thanks for the encouragement!
I love molasses cookies. You did wonderful this month. Fifteen agent queries done? Wow! Great job!
Thanks! I had a brief celebration until the thought of rejection came.
I wish I was there to share them too! But alas. Perhaps over the summer. Wonderful job. :x)
