Friday Done List October October 17

Not my best week, but a Done List certainly makes clear that it could have been a lot worse. As it probably will be next week when I'm going away for an overnight.

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

• Worked some more on revising a book chapter into a short story. You remember...I mentioned it last week?
• Also last week I told you that I'd nearly finished a second draft of a humor piece that I'd mentioned the week before. Three weeks. I think it's ready to submit, but I need to go make some bread, so I'm going to wait until tomorrow, because I don't like to rush these things. Three weeks!
• Finished the essay revision of two blog posts about Hispanic American literature.
• Submitted the above essay to Books Are Our Superpower.
• Oh, and look! It has been accepted. Well, that's gratifying.
• Did research for the short-form market project. One publication. I looked at one publication. It accepts flash shorter than I write now. But maybe I'll submit something in the future, because I did like what I had time to read there.

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

• Wrote and posted a humor study blog post.
• Promoted the humor study blog post on Facebook, BlueSky, and Goodreads
• Found an article on building up a BlueSky following. For what that's worth.
• Have just barely begun a new blog post.
