squidge up from the wrong note
Today I'm working on a stupid little non-speculative story in which a Japanese girl impersonates an emo-boy to get into a band.
It has no literary merit, and very little plot. I just had to write it.
I'm already doing good on my goals for the year though. I've been working on the PoV sludge after the first few scenes in World Domination 101 both yesterday and today. Next week I tackle actual structure there, condensing the action somewhat.
I didn't manage to post Epochs of 2007 so I need to do that now.
~ fantasy book club at the local library!
~ discover SF/F convention in Tulsa, volunteer
~ invited to writer's group, join (though I haven't found any of them on LJ yet)
~ accepted to VIABLE PARADISE where I get enough encouragement all the critiques settle in to work through my system
I have a feeling it was a great launching year for my career. I also:
-- Put up a website
-- Sent out my first submission ever
-- Sent it out another place when it was rejected
-- Entered another in a contest
-- Got over a desire to not read more fantasy for a long, long time
I am hugely grateful for all these things coming together.
I did not see anything come together for sales, but my ground-work laying went to another level.
