News: Writing Progress

9/10/2014

  • I have so much free time for writing now, I almost don't know what to do with myself!  It's amazing!  After six weeks of zero free time to even run the most necessary errands, I'm suddenly able to take my time through my day.  I can eat a leisurely breakfast and read the paper.  I can run my errands and make my phone calls without watching the clock every rushing second.  And, best of all, I can sit in front of my computer writing for hours!  The mere five minutes snatched between getting out of the shower and having to get dressed to run to my crazy job was awful.  I cannot stress enough just how happy I am that my summer job is over. 

  • I have gotten a lot done in the past ten days.  I put together my goals for September and have been doing my best to stick to them, but before I could get started on those I had to finish some major editing.  I finally got through all the edits for Road to Home, then I put it aside for a brief day and went through the second round of edits for The Oracle's Golem.  Once Golem was done, I sent it back to LT3 and did one final read through of RtH.  That story is now also back with LT3 where the editor will take another look at it.  I got a rather grumpy message about how RtH was very late (even though I told them I wouldn't finish the edits until the end of August and got it back to them only a few days after that), so the release date might have to be changed again.  I'll keep everyone updated when I know more. 

  • With all the editing on my plate finally done, I moved on to my September goals.  I have written 7k in Magnified so far.  If I keep up with the pace I've been writing, I'll have the story done by this weekend.  It needs some major editing, of course, but with the first part done I can start writing part two.  Justified has been distracting me for over a month now with ideas and plans, so I am very eager to start putting it all onto paper.  I have also been working on The Oracle's Sprite.  I promised myself that I would have it submitted to LT3 by the end of the year, which gives me plenty of time.  I've written approximately 2k.  In a story as short as Sprite, that's significant progress!  I'm still on track for my goal of reaching 15k words in Sprite. 

  • I haven't had time to work on any of the anthologies on my list.  Thunderbird just needs editing, so I'm probably going to put it off to the end of the month.  I do need to start working on my story for the Devil's Land call.  With the High Holidays coming up, I'm not going to have a lot of writing time and that story has a concrete due date.  I do know how the story starts and can start writing.  I've been working on my other stories instead, but I'll switch my focus soon.
