I don’t want to blow anybody’s minds this early in the year, but I recently had an epiphany: February is a short month. Like… 1-3 days shorter, depending on the year and the month you’re comparing it to.
Crazy, right?
This particular February has felt even shorter, at least partly because I’ll be moving next week. In lieu of a stand-alone article, and given how quickly March is bearing down on us, I thought this would be a good time to check in on my 2019 writing goals.
Yes, I know; it’s actually November now. In your timeline, anyway. In my timeline… okay, it’s November here, as well, but given that I didn’t have a status update last month, this one is going to have to suffice! For those of you playing along at home, you may remember I had big plans for…
The 5 R’s In Part 1 of this impromptu Summer 2018 Wrap Party, I talked about my participation in #SFFPit, and the queries that resulted. Several of those queries swiftly became rejections, but the last turned into that most rare of things. No, not an offer of representation–there’s rare and then there’s just plain fictional–but…
I’m happy to report that the mountains of boxes referenced in my last post have been successfully reduced to hills, and that the topography of our temporary townhouse’s interior has greatly improved as a result. After the world’s briefest status update, it seems only fitting that we now go to the opposite extreme. That’s…
Apologies for the recent silence. As you can see, there’s been a lot of stuff going on, and precious little has had anything to do with writing. I’ll be back with a real status update once the mountain of unpacked boxes has been successfully turned into a series of small hills of unpacked boxes.
I’d start off by saying what a quiet month January was… if I wasn’t secretly convinced that January was far less than a month this year. I’m reasonably certain that it was roughly 1-2 weeks long, and if someone told me it had actually only lasted a handful of hours, I’m not sure I’d be…
With Thanksgiving behind us, it can only mean one thing: weeks and weeks of eating all varieties of pie. Lovely, wonderful, oh-so-tasty pie.
“The best laid plans of mice and men rarely survive first contact with the enemy.” I was actually going to start this post a couple days ago, but saw that it was almost the end of August and that I had an opportunity to instead post it at the absolute last possible moment, along with…
See These Bones Status: 109k words / ~130k projected length “May you live in interesting times… and may your day job’s workload increase just in time to interfere with your writing and publishing efforts.” With only four days left in the month, this very nearly became the July writing update… but enough has happened…
See These Bones Status: 87k words / ~130k projected length This update is coming in a little bit later than expected, mainly because the first of those two numbers up there was supposed to be a lot bigger than it is. In fact, it was supposed to be somewhere in the range of…
