October Optimism

It worked! Staying optimistic in spite of some pretty nasty comments by contest judges worked! My month was fantastic.

 
  • SARK Month 10 Yes
  • Current round of contest thank-you notes All contest thank-yous composed and sent (altho' one snail-mail one was returned as unforwardable)
  • Chapter operating manual article Yes
  • Work on Desk Diva article (Topic of Silence) No, but I came up with an idea for a second column for the company newsleter.
  • 2009 Conference CDs to desktop (and mp3) No
  • Blog 2ce Yes
  • Critique 2ce Yes
  • BIAW Goal met!
  • Chapter meeting Absolutely perfect. If you ever have a chance to hear Diana Holquist and Ellen Hartman do their workshop on cliches, take advantage of the opportunity.
  • Morning Pages (as part of The Writing Diet) Every morning
  • TGN Golden Pen finalists announced I finalled!
  • CRW HOR winners announced 2nd place! After some other contest results, I was starting to wonder if I should give up writing.
  • 20 pages of manuscript edited. Yes
  • Edit TGN GP entry and resubmit to contest coordinators so it can be sent to the editor who is the final judge. Yes.
