[writing] Update on goals and activity

[jaylake]

Back in January, I posted my year's writing goals [ jlake.com | LiveJournal ].

Here's what I said about June and July:
June, 2012 - Initial revisions to Their Currents Turn Awry, release to my first readers.
July, 2012 - Take a break from Sunspin, pursue short fiction commitments.
In practice, what I did was reverse these two. I finished the first

As I recall, Sunspin was always a bit speculative with regard to the market. I remember you talking about that several years ago, before cancer struck. The market is why I took The Netwalk Sequence as a indie project. The combination of sf, politics and economics along with strong female protagonists really makes it a difficult sale, especially given where I am in my career.

Plus I'm also trying to figure out how to fit my professional writing goals (as in, writing about special education subjects) into my writing career. I still want to do both fiction and education writing; but figuring out how to schedule it is tough. I'm not wildly thrilled by the current website stuff, even with a paycheck, because I'm not convinced it's the way to go. Yet.

I'm watching the Extremes project with great interest. It could have some good breakout potential for you.
