Goals to reach by August 1st 2009
The natural thing to do when finishing a project is to get lazy. Also, there is the dreaded post-partum depression. Freelance writing has the possibility of getting the blues. And you are your own boss. You are the one responsible for your fate.
A number of you have encouraged me. Thank you! It helps. Encouraging words lift the spirit. Every small act of kindness invigorates me.
I've made a list of short projects to complete by Friday.
1. Submit an entry for the Shine anthology. You can read about it here: http://shineanthology.wordpress.com/category/guidelines/
This story has been really hard. I wanted to drop it because I felt it was making other people's pain tacky. But I think I can make it work. You guys pushed me on that one. Now, I'm just working hard to capture the voice of the project.
2. Submit a story for the anthology Shadows of the Emerald City. I checked out the publisher and it seems decent enough, but small press. The rule for a freelance is go for the big fish first, and then hit the projects you love. I have an awesome idea for this one. It involves Winged Monkeys.
3. Start research for submission to the Dragon's Lures anthology. I have a book coming in via the library that will spark enough ideas and help with the China geography. This might not get done until next week sadly.
