ellyssianSlightly overdue... I've been good about keeping these updates going once a week, but this one slipped by.
1,200 words brought Trouble and Captain Jack to completion, and out for editing. The story came back from the first editor yesterday with some great changes... looking forward to going through it in more depth than I could (far too) late last night.
No words were written on "green man", which means it is far less likely to see completion before the September 1st deadline of the anthology I am writing it for. Not impossible, but far less likely.
On the business side of things, I made contact with a Harrisburg bookshop for doing book signings and so forth. I had that ~ and contacts with the other shops ~ on the to-do list for September, but I just happened to be at the shop for a freelancer's meeting. The primary market that I have in mind for Full Moon Poetry requires their authors to have a number of contacts with bookstores, newspapers, and libraries, to help with promotion of the books, so this is the first on that list.
Finished Works:
