Friday Done List September 19

I was so overwhelmed with family events last Friday that I forgot to post this. Here it goes.

We have a family event this weekend--the bulk celebration of 9 birthdays--preparation for which cut into my work week. Yeah, I have trouble with priorities. What I did do was try to concentrate on small things that I could do here and there and that might put me into a good position to get back to work next week. It's been a struggle.

Goal 1. Write and Publish Adult Short Stories, Essays, and Humor

• Reread that flash draft I finished recently. You know, if you spend time reading and studying flash, you start seeing all kinds of words and phrases that seem superfluous. In fact, they seem a burden.
• I made a chart to keep track of the short form market research I'm supposed to be doing. I discovered that I hadn't submitted a humor piece that I thought I had submitted. This could inspire another blog post.
• Submitted the humor piece I'd forgotten about. (See above.)
• Started reading another lit journal for the market research project.

Goal 2. Build Community/Market Work/Brand Myself and My Work

• Picked up on The Heritage Month Project again after a month and half when there were no Heritage Months formerly recognized by the U.S. We're talking a Hispanic American Heritage Month post.
• Brought my Goodreads reading challenge up to date. I've met my goal!
• Updated my Goodreads blog with a repost of my first Hispanic American Month post.
• Skeeted a link to the Hispanic American Month post.
• Just barely began two blog posts.
