Status:

• Publishing

  • Editing #2 - with my alpha reader. She's still making lots of changes, but I just glance at each returned section, as I'm still on break. 

  • Continue to market first book, KL-1. Brought to my local Chapters, they'll take 10 on consignment. Goes into the regular Fiction area. Targeting a couple more libraries too.

• Writing

  • ROW80 check in's - Sunday's here.

  • Reading - Part of being a writer. Book clubs - today we discussed Cockroach. Not sure why it was a Canada Reads Choice - review to follow.  Read (again) The Devil's Dust, by local author C. B. Forrest. Review here. 

  • How to write - still keeping up to date with writer/editor/publisher blogs I follow. New library book too, Revising and Self-Editing for Publication. Good so far. 

• Other

• Exercise - spring is here. Sort of. Using Map My Walk again to track my wanderings.

• Band - winter session done, but we're starting a spring session soon. 

• Courses - I was doing several MOOC's, but let them slide while editing. Slowly completing them.

• Other entertainment. Movies/series – still watching the crime series Wallander - UK version. 

• Social - coffee shop, cafe, pubs, grandkids, neighbourhood strolls.

• Volunteer - Ottawa Independent Writers. Trying to set up a series of book reading in local farmer;s market this spring. Also a book stall when we're there. Most fellow writers a little shy about reading in public. Some are bad at it too.
