My personal life had ups and downs -- one of the down-est being Y-Chromo heading back to college. He called a little while ago. He's there, safe & sound. There was down with X-Chromo, too. The joys of parentood.
The writing? Sometimes I wonder why I continue to bother.
THE WRITING GOALS:
- SARK Month 8 Yes
- BIAW Goal Met
- Critique twice Only once, and that is if you count reading aloud while on Retreat
- 3 (of the 6 I entered) contests announcing finalists This was hideous. At least, 2 of 3 contests from which I've received my scoresheets & judges "comments". I didn't final in any of these, which led me observe to my crit partners that I'm starting to think I'm not as good of a writer as I was several years ago.
- Blog 2ce at least
- A night at the library to see one of my PHriends give a talk on the day in the life of a writer This was one of the good things
- A long weekend writing retreat in a cabin in the wood This was the best thing. Can't wait to go back.
- Order 2009 RWA Whole Conference CD ROM There's no "Early Bird" price this year, so I've put this on hold. I did purchase the Leslie Wainger workshop to which I'd sent a synopsis for editor evaluation. I felt savaged after listening to it.
