lizvogelKitchen Sink = 39
old mission stories = 263
Haley mission stories = 1054
Haley novel = 20
Total new words in May = 1376
- Goal was 5000. Bugger.
- Finish beta-review & edits on Kitchen Sink: Done. Woot. The early part of May was so long ago that I'd forgotten all about this.
- Continue querying on Highway of Mirrors; goal was at least five. Queries done: zero. There was a lot of crossing agents off my list, and there was a con in there, but there was also a lot of just not sitting down and doing it.
- Start getting back into the Haley novel: Done, technically. I re-read the extant six and a half chapters, anyway. Made a few extremely minor tweaks, printed it and handed it off to my alpha reader. I may have made the mental adjustment to a theme that works for me (self-determination). The plot, however, is well and truly stalled. Hopefully some brain-storming with the alpha-reader once she's refreshed her memory will jar something loose.
Score: 2 out of 4, and not the more challenging two, either.
Fuck that shit.
For June, at least 3000 new words. And I want to see at least 3 queries out the door -- yes, even with a major con coming up at the end of the month. It's not that hard; suck it up and do it, me.
And now, I'm gonna go work on Haley-and-Marty-in-South-America. Because words happen by butt in chair, hands on keyboard.
