I'm glad March is over. I'd have to say it was one of the worst months ever. But, it's gone...and hopefully, quickly forgotten.
I did a really poor job on my goals for the month.
Goals for March:
Write 2,300 words per day, for a grand total of 71,300 for the month.
Reality:
I didn't get anywhere close. I ended up with 29,320 words for the month. No excuses. I just couldn't do it.
Finish edits on Wildfire, which includes adding an additional 30,000 words and doing another run-through edit.
Reality:
I did some edits on Wildfire. Wrote a new first chapter and reworked a lot of the second and third. Got distracted. Didn't finish.
Finish Pawns of Destiny.
Reality:
Nope. I worked on it some. Didn't finish it.
Work on Xanali and/or possible prequel to Out of the Darkness.
Reality:
I did do some work. Not lots, but some.
Query three more agents.
Reality:
I did not do this. I wasn't ready.
Submit at least one critique/review for each of the groups I belong to.
Reality:
I did not do this either. Did some critiques off lists/groups for people, though.
Submissions to Date:
Short Stories: 1
Haven't heard anything yet. It's been out almost 9 weeks.
Queries:
Novels: 2
Rejections: 1
No Response : 1
I'm sure the no response is a rejection, but I'll give it another month before I move it officially.
And...that's about it. March was a sucky month for goals. :)
