New week and I’m off to a decent start.

I just barely got my new word count in for my novels in process, but I slightly exceeded the 500 words / day average.

I also have about a thousand words in for a 2000-5000 word short story I plan to submit for an anthology.  Contest says it’s open until March 31 or until “full”.  I’m a little worried what the full part means.  There’s no mention of a submission quota that I could find.  Any-who, I have the basic story idea…well, a couple of them.  It’s a matter of determining which is the better one of the bunch before I blast too many words out.

I did my flash fiction challenge on Sunday so I think I have 2 of the 3 per month for Feb, and am on track for blog posting.

No editing until I hear back from my betas so I’m enjoying a low editing period.  Only short story edits for now.

My stats are here.

This is one of those weeks where averages are my friend.  I had 2 non-writing days but still averaged 500 words a day.

I compiled and transmitted all my notes to the author of the manuscript I beta read, and found a fourth beta reader for my own manuscript.

I worked up enough nerve to put two erotica shorts out there for critique.  So far so good, but I restricted my audience.  If I’m feeling really confident, I may also post one over in AW’s critique forum…gulp.  That’s where the women are separated from the girls, for sure.

My two ultra short entries are now flying through the internet two days BEFORE the deadline.  Prize for this is $50 and publication in a printed anthology.

A fellow Scribophile member found a cool anthology to submit for, with a due date of 3-31-11.  That’ll be my March contest goal, though technically it’s a submission and not a contest, but the two are interchangeable to me.

So, I’m still on plan and making good progress on at least one of my three projects.

A running tally of my stats is here.
