It’s that time to report how I’m faring with my writing
- Blog twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays. Got it done, with only one, I think it was, hasty post.
- Attend three writers group meetings. I attended only two. At the time of the third one I was exhausted and decided to skip it.
- Attend the Ozark Writers League fall conference in Branson. Yes, I attended. See the report here.
- Finish all editing on Documenting America: Run-Up To Revolution, and schedule all episodes for publishing on Kindle Vella. I’m almost done with the editing, maybe two days left. Publishing them to Kindle Vella will likely take another three days.
- Begin work on A Walk Through Holy Week, Part 1. I have this pretty well planned out. I began this and made major progress, being close to halfway through with the first draft.
- Continue to document the writing idea, The Artwork Of God. I’m not sure how much time I’ll spend on this. I spent a little time on this, not a lot. On Monday-Tuesday this week I found some commentary that bears on this that I hadn’t expected. It makes me a little more sure that there’s a real project here.
- Begin reading a book on colonial America, dealing with essays from a newspaper debate in Boston in 1774-1775. I read less on this than I expected, but did read some, thus fulfilling my goal but in a minor way.
So looking back, it was a busy and productive month. One thing I did that wasn’t part of my goals was to do some minor updates to my website. Now, time to set goals for November.
- As always, blog twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays.
- Attend three writers group meetings.
- Finish editing Documenting America: Run-Up To Revolution, and schedule all chapters to publish to Kindle Vella.
- Finish the first draft of A Walk Through Holy Week, Part 1. This will be a stretch, but I should get close.
- Get a little more done on the ideas for The Artwork of God. I’m still in the research stage on this project.
- Begin writing down some plot ideas for the next volume in The Forest Throne series.
Enough. It’s Thanksgiving month, and we will have a houseful of guests for close to a week. These goals may be more than I can achieve.
