What's happened these last two weeks?
Goal 1. Write and Publish Adult Short Stories, Essays, and Humor
- I made three submissions.
- I received one rejection.
- I had three pieces published. (One of these had been submitted before this period.)
- Had just about decided to try Substack but immediately decided not to. The thinking behind that may become a blog post.
- I worked on two humor pieces, one of which had been rejected a couple of times.
- Readership has plummeted on Medium, which is encouraging me to work harder on submitting elsewhere.
- Last weekend's Weekend Writer post has made me think I need to do a study of short story writing. I've done this in the past, but my success rate with publishing short stories suggests I need to do more. Just in case the whole world isn't wrong, and I'm right.
Goal 2. Build Community/Market Work/Brand Myself and My Work
- Have done five blog posts.
- Promoted the three pieces published on Medium.
- Continue to work on building community on BlueSky and Medium.
- Have been reading for Black History Month and published blog post on first book read.
- Promoted my Black History reading post.
Goal 3. Submit Book Length Work to Agents and Editors
- Received rejection on last submission
