Tuesday Tally: Projects update for new year

EotF

still querying

goal: query agents until TC finished and polished, then (if still not picked up) move on to publishers (inc small presses, e-books)

 

T.C.

writing in progress, about one-fourth the way through.

FwM

Rt100D

Incomplete NaNoWriMo novel. One-third done.

My Palette of Color

14/20 poems for chapbook

Other projects on sidelines

Sienna’s Story: placeholder title for portal fantasy

The Blazing Princess: novelette waiting expansion to novel form

 

I’m going to give each month a general focus. January is Review and Follow Up. I have some poetry submissions hanging in the ether, one that was held for final consideration. I need to send nudges, find out what the status is. I also need to send emails to my Frosted Paths group, see how everyone did with their goals last year.

As for non-writing goals:

  • Read two books each month. Include more new(er) releases in my TBR list.
  • be more consistent in reading to my son every day
  • exercise 3 times a week (going to work back up to this one)
  • have better posture
  • find a way to supplement our income
