Why, yes, things did get a little out of hand week before last and no Done List was posted last Friday. But I have been doing things these last two weeks.
Goal 1. Write And Publish Adult Short Stories, Essays, and Humor
- Took an excellent Zoom workshop with author Dariel Suarez through Pioneer Valley Writers' Workshop.
- Wrote and published the last Seeking Time essay for the summer. This series of essays was not successful with the goal I had for it, increasing readership at Medium. However, I have wanted to use time material from Original Content in new ways for quite a while, and I'm happy to have finally done it. Additionally, an unexpected by-product of publishing thirteen essays in six weeks (I started writing five of them earlier in the summer so I spent more than six weeks doing the actual writing) is that I found myself making good use of early morning and evening time for work, something I wasn't accustomed to doing. I hope to be able to carry that forward.
- Have been working on a humor piece. I kid you not.
- Registered for a flash fiction workshop through Thurber House.
- Registered to attend an in-person author talk.
- Got started going through workshop lists to plan what I want to take the rest of the year. Did not get far.
- Worked on market research for short stories and essays. Did not get as far as I'd hoped.
