May Word Count

lizvogelMay was a wash as far as word productivity was concerned. The load of stuff needing to be done around the house was just too heavy, and I pretty much wrote off writing in favor of getting some other things done. (Which mostly still aren't done, but that's another post.)
So, words for May:
Falling From Ground = 114
And that's it. That's net; there was some negative-word-count editing in there, but not enough to make the gross any less embarrassing.
I was not a complete slug all month, however:
stories submitted = 6
Which meant that more than half the available works were out there making their case. So the business side made a decent showing, even if the production side didn't.
June may be another fustercluck, what with a con that may be fraught, and a home improvement project that I'm thoroughly fed up with. On the other hand, I've already started applying the alpha-reader's feedback to the mega-chapter conglomeration, and I think I know where to break it up into reasonable chapter-sized chunks. I really do need to figure out what's going on behind the scenes in FFG, though.
So, goals:
- Let's say 3000 words. Some of which had better be on getting FFG moving, though don't forget that Green Ring and short stories exist.
- Keep subbing stories.
- Get HoM querying happening again. I've already started this, with finalizing the new query, setting up the new email address, etc. Now to put them to use.
