It’s been hot and smoky for what feels like forever, and I opened the windows this morning for the first time in weeks. Still… I’m healthy and the house hasn’t burned down, so no complaints. A look back at the August goals:
-
Write the acknowledgements section for SHIFT HAPPENS plus all the other bits (about the author, copyright page, etc.).Get as much done on SHIFT HAPPENS as possible to move it toward publication. (This depends on other people, so it’s a goal that is a bit flexible.)- Get the heist novel ready to submit for developmental edits in September.
Get the next chapter of IMPULSE out to YWC.
Things are progressing! I think SHIFT HAPPENS will be out in the next couple of weeks. I fully expect it to launch about like an overweight penguin leaping from a bell tower, but that’s okay.
I’ve been working on the heist novel, but it’s not quite ready yet. The barf draft of the first in the space opera series is also progressing.
What’s in store for September?
- Publish SHIFT HAPPENS (yay!)
- Get the heist novel ready to submit for dev edits
- Get the next chapter of IMPULSE out to YWC
- Finish the zero draft of the space opera and circle back to the beginning to start filling it in.
Hm. I should probably set up a mailing list, too. I’ll think about it.
