Friday Done List

 Goal 1. Adult Short Stories, Essays, and Humor

• I did six starts for my daily Holiday Hel...I mean Advent...project. 
  
• I got a rejection today, but resubmitted.
• I attended a very good author lecture/talk given by Steven Almond through the Office Campus Writer's Workshop. Stimulated ideas and now I also have little slips of paper around here somewhere with things I want to look up. Also, he talked about The Great Gatsby, which I keep hearing about. I have to read it again. I swear I read it long ago. I wasn't brought up in a barn, after all, as my mother would say.

Goal 2. Submit Book Length Work to Agents

• I submitted a middle grade manuscript to an agent I learned about through SCBWI.

•  I got the rejection for that today.

Goal 3. Community Building/Marketing/Branding

• One blog post this week.
• Promoted that blog post.
• I've been taking part in a book challenge on BlueSky, which has attracted a few new followers for  me.
