Well I ended up getting a fair amount of writing done in March but the majority of the work I did wasn’t on my children’s book. I ended up doing about the ten thousandth revision of the novel that was my MFA thesis. I changed the ending, added a whole new chapter, and even did some serious restructuring of the chapters, and I also read through and did sentence level revisions of the entire novel. So even though I didn’t finish the current draft of my children’s book (although I’m very close and do expect to finish it in the next week or so), I do feel pretty good about the work I got done last month.
I had a sort of a tragedy occur last week and it definitely slowed down my writing for a few days, but I’m back on track now and expect to get some good work done before the new quarter starts getting crazy (I should have about two fairly easy weeks before my grading starts piling up and I have less and less time to write).
My goals for April:
- Finish children’s book
- Submit to 10 journals
- Query 5 agents
