Goal 1. Adult Short Stories, Essays, and Humor
- Some editors from one of the Medium humor sites contacted me regarding a submission, suggesting some changes and offering to read it again if I was interested in making them. One suggestion, in particular, was very good. I had to put this thing out of my mind for at least a week, then spent a couple of days revising this week. It has been resubmitted.
- I just finished the short story I've been working on most of this year. I mean I finished it around 1:30 this afternoon. This is huge for me. I have trouble walking away from projects. Now that this is done, I can turn my attention to smaller pieces. I will let it sit for a while before submitting.
So I worked on only one goal this week, but it got a load off my shoulders. Felt a little weepy after finishing that short story, to be honest.
Hooray for goals! Sometimes a goal that doesn't look like much to others can take so long to accomplish. It always surprises me that most of my students claim they don't have goals over the summer; I always have a list of things I hope to get done. Hope you are even more successful this coming week!
ReplyDeleteI didn't do much that next week, but things should pick up now.
