A Look Back at June Goals and Progress

[queenoftheskies]

Time to check the scorecard and see what I accomplished in June.

Here's what I set out to do.



JUNE

Works in Progress
Continue work on Ancient Secrets (novel)

Edit/Revise:
Split Milk (short short story)
Good Ole Boys (short short story)
Beyond the Darkness (novella)

Marketing
Write synopsis for Ancient Secrets
Research markets for Split Milk, Good Ole Boys, and Beyond the Darkness


ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Works in Progress

I did continue to work on Ancient Secrets 50,603 words for June

I also cut and pasted in 68,179 words into this version as Rosemont became defunct.

I also worked on the following short stories:
Love Eternal 1,008 words for June
Night Demon 303 words for June
Rednecks 399 words for June complete
Dark Love 120 words for June

I believe the last three were actually started in June, too.

Edit/Revise

I did edit and revise Spilt Milk and Good Ole Boys, which had a name change to Rednecks. That could change again. :)

I did NOT edit and revise Beyond the Darkness because I've decided to turn it into a novel instead.

Marketing

I did NOT tackle the marketing goals of writing a synopsis for Ancient Secrets or researching markets for the short stories.

So, overall, considering the major crap that was going on for over half the month, I'd have to say I'm pretty pleased with what I accomplished.

I think, though, that my biggest accomplishment for the month was my huge effort to remain positive and not judge my work before it's ready. That has done a lot for me and made me a much happier writer.

I honestly don't know when I did it. :)

I was so distracted with the crap from work!
