eimarraWords for month: 12,351. Daily average for the month is 398 words, for the year is 356 words. Wrote 24 of 31 days. Most of the words were on M, but 3,132 were on Jim Bob. The page a day thing on M seems to be working reasonably well.
New cozy mystery series idea attacked me, so I've been making some notes on it.
Short stories: No writing on any.
Submissions: 12 short stories, 1 poetry, 2 flash. Only one story is new -- "Creeping White," sent to PARSEC.
Rejections: 10 short stories, 1 poem, 2 flash.
Acceptances: "A Pretty Bauble" accepted by Space & Time (though I'm still waiting for the e-mail from the editor-in-chief).
Crits: Epilogue left for MRockwell; no progress on Myrddin's (ack!).
Read Daikaijuzine slush.
Attended GSHW meeting this month -- good talk by Ty Drago, followed by lunch at the diner. Very enjoyable.
Did Holly's Crash Revision workshop on Savvy Authors. It's a variant on her one-pass revision, and it prompted me to start typing in edits from Sabra's redlined manuscript.
Reading: 7 books completed this month. Solomon Kane, by Robert E. Howard; Mean Streets (UF anthology); The Icebound Land, by John Flanagan; The Mote in God's Eye, by Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle; The Unnatural Inquirer, by Simon R. Green; Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians, by Brandon Sanderson; Just Another Judgement Day, by Simon R. Green
Other reading of note -- read a good chunk of The Nimble Man by Christopher Golden and Thomas Sniegoski.
Editing/submitting: Finished polishing the remaining chapters of Christmas Tree Farm Murders and sent it off in response to request for full.
Book-in-a-Week participation was not wildly successful, possibly because Jim Bob is just not working at the moment. Will be starting Sundered Sword in April for BIAW; will also be setting less lofty goals.
Paying work: Proofread two books. Total pages proofed: 1,222.
