Challenge,  On Writing,  publishing

Workshops and Stuff

Worked on Online Workshops…

I did that until around 7 p.m. today, along with the standard errands and stuff normal for a Friday.

Then home, cooked dinner, napped, and went back to writing. Great fun. And then a bunch of reading, which I will be doing all month for the coming anthology workshop.

Tomorrow I will start back on the book I left off before the trip. I hope to finish that one and get to some short fiction at some point soon. Or maybe do some short fiction and then finish the book. I don’t know. We shall see.

Another Smith’s Monthly got out. Patreon supporters and subscribers should have the electronic editions. Paper editions will be shipped later next week if they arrive in time.

Also working on a friend’s estate. That’s also starting next week. Won’t be like my friend Bill’s estate five years ago, but this will take some time.

Tomorrow I will finish off the workshop stuff and get the information out to those of you signed up for the February online workshops. Still room in them if interested. They start on Tuesday and Wednesday.

    Sorry to hear that another friend has passed. Also worried to hear that you got pressed into service on another estate. Based on your previous experience as related in the blog, don’t forget that you can ask, or even hire, people to help.

      Oh, trust me, I have a full team on this one, and I am not the executor, thankfully. I’m just the center of organization to get everything done. Learned my lesson with Bill. (grin)

      But that said, this will take some time.
