I'm happy to be able to cross off a little of my writing Bucket List already. Funny how actually typing and posting a to do list can light a fire under your behind.
Short #1 has been revised, sent through a round of critiques, edited, and sent off into submissions as of this morning. That feels good!
A synopsis for A Broken Race as been created and is now resting for a few days to see if it still works once the relief of getting through that task has passed.
Not on my list, but something I'd always been going to do: I finally hung my novel wordles in my tiny writing area. If you have not played with wordles before, beware, they are procrastination friendly.
Every time I finish (that's a relative term) the rough draft of a novel, I create a word cloud from it. In some ways this is a visual reward by seeing my words artfully displayed. More useful, though not as much fun, is the visual of which words I'm overusing.
Creating a wordle for the two novels I consider really finished, and comparing them to the old ones was also gratifying. Words like looked, smiled, glared, etc are all much smaller or not used enough to even be on the cloud anymore. Gotta love progress.
Well, that was an hour lost, screwing around with the wordle thing. Damn you.
