Sorry about posting this a day late; I spent most of yesterday driving back to Ohio from North Carolina.\u00c2\u00a0 To be honest, I didn’t do any of the driving.\u00c2\u00a0 Mostly I read and slept.\u00c2\u00a0 My beach vacation is over.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

  1. Sales in October: 0<\/li>\n

    Yes, my drabble has been out 248 days waiting to be acknowledged.\u00c2\u00a0 If I don’t hear something this month I will definitely go ahead and consider it rejected.\u00c2\u00a0 The market still has a backlog of submissions to sift through but they are also sending out acceptances for pieces that arrived after mine.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

    This month I attended the Muse Online Writers Conference.\u00c2\u00a0 The short story\u00c2\u00a0I was hoping to edit and send out based on the feedback I received at the conference didn’t happen.\u00c2\u00a0 It needs a lot of work and I’m not entirely certain where to begin.\u00c2\u00a0 But the good news is that I was able to edit another short story and it’s what I sent out in October.\u00c2\u00a0 I also updated my bio page with feedback I received from the conference.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Without a doubt, there is more to last month’s writing progress\u00c2\u00a0but my brain is a bit mushy at the moment.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve been writing off and on today in order to catch up to the daily word count needed to complete NaNoWriMo this year.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m about to begin writing Chapter Four and I’m not sure yet what’s going to happen.\u00c2\u00a0 Hopefully my Inner Editor will stay away and I’ll get to see what happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
