August Recap
Write another 30k on the serial (Dragon Freehold).I think this ended up somewhere around 20kEdit the serial episodes not yet loaded and send them off to the very patient proofreader.Done!Get the next 30k drafted for the cozy.Done!Update the website. Getting it to do what I want using WordPress has been a challenge, but I think I’m almost there.Done!Writing Fiction Sales Copy class. There is an assignment due today, and one next week. I can do this.Done!- Redo the keywords for the books already published. The goal is to make it so people who might be looking for my books can find them. I still have a lot to learn. Um. I didn’t even start on this.
Depending on feedback from my critique partners, move The Chaos Connection to the next stage of edits.Just sent it off to the proofreader an hour ago!
Since I have serial episodes loaded that won’t get released until October, I switched my writing time to concentrate on the cozy. Then I worked my butt off to get The Chaos Connection in shape for release next month. All in all it was a very productive month.
September Goals
- Publish The Chaos Connection (Jackpot Drift #2). This is a fairly easy one. I need to write the acknowledgements and update the other back matter, but once it comes back from the final proof, it will take less than an hour to format. Then it’s just a matter of loading it everywhere.
- Finish the first draft of the cozy. Penelope Standing #3 doesn’t have a title yet (Death Digs a Garden? Death Sniffs a Rose?), but I think I’m about 15-20k away from having the initial draft finished.
- Redo the keywords for the books already published.
- Send the Dragon Freehold episodes that are already written off to be proofread and load them into Vella.
- Outline the next Jackpot Drift novel. I’m still working on figuring out an outlining technique that works for me, but planning the serial has helped with that. I have faith that this may get easier someday.
