ROW80 wk8, rpt 1

Even though my desktop computer is still kaput, I pulled myself back into the saddle, using my netbook and the kids’ computer (sorry, kids!)  I got all my new words in, got my blog posts in, took a pass on the flash fiction this week but will get my third on the 28th.  I also posted my Ocean-themed short story for critique over at Scribophile.  I rather like it, though it’s still in need of some polishing.  If this anthology doesn’t take it, I’m sure I will try subbing it with various steampunk publishers.

I also managed to do some critiquing for others to pay it forward / earn karma.  I still owe some beta reads and critiques, but I’m making good progress.

20060618 - the mess that is my computer right ...

Disaster on the computer front.  My desktop computer melted down and would not boot on Wednesday evening.  I spent the rest of the week futzing around with it, recovering data.  I didn’t lose any of my work, but my main writing tool and location is kaput for now.

So routine, disrupted, I couldn’t bring myself to work on my in-process WIPs.  Instead,  I worked on a short story to submit for an anthology, 5000 words.  Specifically not allowed for meeting my new words goal but…it was writing time and under the circumstances, I’m not going to beat myself up over it.  I like my story, though it still needs some serious editing.

Rest of the goals are on track.
