I haven’t posted anything here for a while. I’ve been writing, just not here.
Last week, May 3-4, I attended the Story Weaver’s conference of the Oklahoma Writers Federation, Inc. This was my first time to go to this conference and my first general market conference. I spent several days preparing material. I figured this was my last big hurrah as far as pitching In Front of Fifty Thousand Screaming People goes.
Since coming back from Oklahoma City on Sunday, after family activities for several days, I’ve been busy with two projects. One is preparing two submittals requested at the conference. I got the second one in just before 10 p.m., so that is over. The second is proofreading and final editing of FTSP. That’s going fairly well. I’ve read 138 pages of the 321 page manuscript. I had hoped to finish this by Friday, but obviously won’t.
I also completed a column for Buildipedia.com, my twelfth. I’m under contract to do another, which is due May 18. I expect them to keep coming at two per month.
I’m also spending a little time on The Candy Store Generation. That’s what I shared at BNC Writers Monday night, and what I hope to get back to in a big way as soon as FTSP is put to bed. Still 8,000 words to go, but some research needed before going too much farther.
Consequently, I haven’t spent much time with my blogs, especially this one. And I don’t expect to for the next week at least. I’ll try to pop in and let you know what’s going on, but realistically I just don’t have the time to spend on it now.
