WRITING UPDATES: JUNE EDITION!

 Hey, folks! Time for my monthly check-in with writing goals! This is going to be a super quick post. 



June Accomplishments: I finished revisions for Rooted and am heading into the proofreading stage; I celebrated release day for Unconventional Love, an anthology by Dragon Bone Publishing, which my short story "Escaping Shadows" was published in! I also made steady progress with TQOL and am officially almost done with the first draft. It's so close to being done, I'm getting antsy. I also got Moments in Time sent to the publisher (then did a happy dance). Oh, and my church survived Vacation Bible School! I also received updates for a couple of anthologies that are pending publication, and more information will be shared in July. I also decided to make a really big boo-boo and unpublish my Mount Sterling trilogy because it's in terrible need of major revisions and republication. Then I jumped in with both feet and...I don't think I jumped into clear water on this one, if you catch my drift. It's a little murky and smelly in here. But it's a side project that I'm tinkering away at. Finally, I launched a Fourthwall store and spent the month of July curating some digital content and PDF downloadables that I think will be fun little worksheets for fellow authors. That took a surprising amount of brainpower, but 'tis finished! I also celebrated the release of Esperanza: and other fantasy short stories, a cutsey little book of short stories that I put together and forgot to market very much. But it's live now! 

July Goals: I want to finish proofreading Rooted and move forward, finalize things as necessary for the pending anthologies, and finish Draft 1 of TQOL. Cover reveals for TQOL and the Omnibus Edition will be this month. Finally, I want to work a little more on QSAL and Project R. And my middle grade series. And my how-to-write-horses WIP. (Send sugar, caffeine, and extra brain cells.)
