I know the month isn’t quite over, but I’m off to Broadkill Resort for DogCon V tomorrow, so let’s do this thing!
September Wrap-up:
- Words were written in book 4! Specifically, 15k of them, so the goal was officially met. I’m in the swing of things now, and doing that thing where I look at the rest of my outline and panic that the book is going to be over 100k long.
- Book reviews were completed! Not many of them, but I think the quality of my reviews is going up as I get more practice at it.
- Burn for Me (Hidden Legacy #1) by Ilona Andrews (4 stars)
- A Wizard’s Forge (Woern Saga #1) by A.M. Justice (5 stars)
- Hidden Design: The Prophecy by Tia Tormen & C.K. Stone (3 stars)
- Speculative Chic was contributed to! This month featured more group participation along with my debut solo post.
- My Favorite Thing for September 2016
- The Evolution of Vampires in Popular Fiction. What is says on the tin.
- I haven’t yet been to DogCon, but I did get to spend a glorious week with my husband at the not-so-glorious place where he is training! Teleworking and writing with a view of the beach for a few days was so tough.
October Goals:
- Write words! Specifically, 20k words.
- Write book reviews! There are currently 11 in the queue (I also did a lot of reading at the beach).
- Participate in DogCon V! Please continue to keep all fingers and toes crossed for Steel Victory in the Reader’s Choice Award. Less than 48 hours until it’s announced!
- Sell books! I will be in the Dealer’s Room at TridentCon with copies of both of my books (Oct 8-9). I have no panels or presentations to attend, so this is a great chance to come hang out and chat with me about writing and gaming.
- Travel! I’ll be going to Denver for work and spending back-to-back weekends in Pennsylvania and Ohio for two weddings. On the plus side, my husband is meeting me in Ohio for one of the weddings and afterward I get to bring him home for good.
