So, we had a blizzard last weekend. Lost power for 90 minutes. That led to a heat problem for a little while. I had to shovel snow a couple of times. Had a decent workweek in spite of all that.
Goal 1. Write And Publish Adult Short Stories, Essays, and Humor
- New essay, The Reading History Project: The "Our" in "Our Shared History" was published at Books Are Our Superpower.
- Worked a bit on revising a chapter into a short story.
- Cleaned some files while the power was out and determined that I had some work that was not going anywhere and threw it away. This is a good thing.
Goal 2. Build Community/Market Work/Brand Myself and My Work
- Promoted The "Our" in "Our Shared History" on Facebook and BlueSky
- Wrote a Story Behind the Story post for the above essay and published it here on Original Content.
- Wrote a new Reading History Project post.
- Wrote still another blog post.
- Promoted all the blog posts.
- Continued taking part in BlueSky's 30-Day Women Writer Challenge in which you post a book you've read by a woman writer, no particular order, no commentary. I did one of these soon after I joined BlueSky. It was fun and gathered me a few followers. This has led to me breaking 400 followers on BlueSky. In case you're wondering, I've been on BlueSky for something like 15 months and just broke 400 followers, which is maybe a third or less of what I had on Twitter.
- Signed up to attend a Zoom author presentation next week. The author involved is Dana Stabenow, who I've never heard of. But she's promoting a mystery set in the nineteenth century, and I can watch her without changing my clothes or leaving my house, so I'm in.
Goal 3. Submit Book-length Work to Agents and Editors
- Yesterday the Manuscript Wish List people ran an event on BlueSky that involved agents posting material they're looking for. I have the names of three agents I'll be submitting to next week.
Goal 4. Begin Some Writing on the 19th Century Novel Idea
- Worked thirty minutes on this.
