Raven's View

I was pretty hit and miss for this session. Editing was done, summer was here, didn't have a lot of goals to worry about. Looking forward to next session.

Here's my initial goals, and how I did in italics:

Objective - Publishing

• Finish edits on first novel, Kirk's Landing by July 15th. After that, it goes to copy/proof. Did finish by mid-July, then went to copt edit thenm proofread. Editor/publisher is now reviewing these LAST edits.
• Do my Kinde/Createspace stuff - details to follow, but need to creat ID's, get IRS number, learn to formatting, etc. Sent away W-7 for IRS number, then can send  W-8BEN to Amazon 
• Promote online - again, details to follow, but need to work on FB/Twitter/Blog Will stay with current FB and Twitter groups, but did do an author page. 
• On Amazon and launch by mid-September. Maybe. Still fall 2013

Objective - Writing

• Write every morning. Nope
• At least one Flash Fiction a week. Did a few.
• ROW80 check in's - Sunday and Wednesday. Missed some.
• Book clubs - have two a month, to read and critique. Kept up with these.
• Writerly blogs. 

Objective - Other 

• Daily yoga and core strengthening exercises, walking, biking - a challenge for me. A few times a week - better than nothing.
• More - keep following various writerly blogs (Didn't keep up with these very well - perhaps have too many), reading how-to books, reading fiction (with a writer's eye) Done. Drop in a few days a week at the coffee shop on the corner, to my local for beer, music, and conversation, and visit my grandkids. Done 
• Edit - I realized, as I looked around at the dozens and dozens of bozes to still be unpacked and sorted, that I need to add getting unpacked to my list. Even 1/2 hour a day makes a difference. Hmm. Still a number of boxes here.

I suppose it's time to be writerly again. Not that I really stopped, even if I did declare the past few days a long weekend for me. I did still do some reading, as well as thinking about next steps for my novel.
