The kids are back to school, and I'm finally---FINALLY---getting stuff done. As meetings roll around, and dates come due, I'm diligently following up and through on commitments I've let languish over the summer (including August's blog post). Took at look at my monthly and yearly goals, and while the monthly ones have mostly been completed or pushed off for various reasons, the yearly ones... not so good. BUT, I did do the most important one which was sending off and then receiving a passport. I haven't been out of the country since a youth group trip in high school to Israel. I can't even tell you how excited I am to be going to Great Britain next year.
It's starting to look like I'll only have the one small release this year, which means I want to kick myself into high gear and get some writing done for 2018. Oh, that's not to say I haven't written anything, but one project has been derailed and the other may never be seen by more than my betas. I like it, but I'm mostly writing it for me. Feedback will decide otherwise.
Meanwhile, I've got plans in motion to free up more of my precious time and delegate responsibilities out where they can be done more effectively than by me. A good leader knows how to delegate, right? *wink, wink* There's writing projects I want to devote time to, especially in light of some recent inspiration.
Current Workings:
Still no word on a release date for Cue the Music (the small release I mentioned above). Proofing is in progress and it will come out in both a Beaten Track Anthology and as a standalone purchase.
Metamorphic Heart still has some minor work and a cover to create. I also have a 300 word flash fiction releasing this month as part of Queer Sci-Fi's Renewal Contest. I was chosen along with 100 or so others (from over 250 submissions) for inclusion in the collected works. I'll have more about the flash fiction next month.
Now, I'll go and make a new checklist for September... see if there isn't another goal I can attain...
