Progress Report: September 01-08, 2018
Looking Back: September 01-08, 2018
I started last week on Saturday, September 1st, and finished it on Saturday, September 8th. It just seemed tidier that way. The week started just fine, and continued with confirmation of the acceptance of a short story in a science-fiction anthology (
The Expanding Universe
) and the invitation to contribute to my choice of four more anthologies with a different company—and I’ll announce who and which ones, if and when each story is confirmed acceptable. Submitting those will be this week’s focus. Unfortunately, the week ended with preparing for a house inspection, today, and some pretty bad news regarding my mother’s health, so it was a bittersweet kinda deal, overall.
Looking Forward: September 09-15, 2018Needless to say, things will be busy this week, as I do all the bits associated with a new release, and write some short stories, as well as advancing my current novel,
Mack ‘n’ Me: The Wolves of Alpha 9
. I also need to compile the first three novels in the Mack ‘n’ Me ‘n’ Odyssey series into one volume and publish it, prepare a gift pack for my newsletter subscribers and get that out to them, and get the short story for October up for pre-order. And all that in addition to this morning’s inspection. Like I said, a busy week – but a good one, I hope.Here’s what was achieved last week.Progress: September 01-08, 2018New words produced: 23,332Outlines and Notes: 6,754Words compiled: 0Works completed: 0Works edited: 0Covers created: 3 (The Dockmaster, Mack ‘n’ Me: The Wolves of Alpha 9, The Songster & the Pirates)Works formatted: 1 (The Songster & the Pirates)Works published: 1 (The Songster & The Pirates)Works released: 0Works submitted: 0Competitions Entered: 0Bloggery: 7,610Hours at Desk—September 01-08: 84 hours, 17 minutesAugust Hours at Desk: 263 hours, 29 minutesJuly Hours at Desk: 264 hours, 18 minutesJune Hours at Desk: 230 hours, 5 minutesMay Hours at Desk: 302 hours, 6 minutesApril Hours at Desk: 167 hours, 41 minutesMarch Hours at Desk: 201 hours, 43 minutesFebruary Hours at Desk: 183 hours, 50 minutesJanuary Hours at Desk: 180 hours, 3 minutes
