Ok so let's start with the victories this week:
1. Progress on the novel. It was awful but we worked through a bunch of plot issues and I've done some writing for the novel for the first time in at least a month.
2. I got an actual response from a beta-reader for my short story/novella/whatever-you-call-not-a-novel. After over a year they actually read the piece I sent them. It is really frustrating when people are not even interested to try to read it but I also don't chase people. Badgering someone to read your stuff (in my humble, uneducated, unpublished opinion) won't get you the feedback you need. I won't chase people. It's given me new focus and after leaving the first draft for so long I'm excited to roll up my sleeves and get going on round 2.
3. Still going strong on the web series! I think I have a rough of the first season (it could be only but I'd like to leave it open for now) and I'm excited to do some readings with people who want to be involved. This is a big, long term project so I'm worried I'll lose momentum on it but so far it's been pretty steady progress (excuse me while I go knock on wood).
The un-victories are:
1. My summer reading list. I'm just going to say it: university ruined reading for fun.
2. Still nothing on podcast/anthology and I am beginning to think I bit off more than I can chew with my summer writing goals.
Still going strong! See you next week :)
