Writing Logs: Embracing the Chaos
Jul. 20th, 2009 11:34 am07/17/2009 - Friday - Sunday, at Phil's family reunion, camping on the forest land they own in Wisconsin. Besieged by children and dogs and family--not much got done.
* But I did redmark Vicesteed Chapter 19, and I learned something very valuable. I can edit anywhere. It doesn't matter what chaos I'm surrounded by, as long as I have the tablespace, it's all good. This is an important thing to know--and something I should take advantage of more often. I don't think this would work so well for writing--but to be honest, I haven't tried. And then there's always the "ability to write" vs. "ability to write good quality stuff" debate, and by how much the former outweighs the latter.
07/16/2009 - Thursday, lots of downtime, appointment in the morning with dishwasher repair guy, evening departed for the woods.
* Wrangled the market list: finished updating market list from Ralan; cleared out old contest and anthology listings; loaded it up to the website; wrote the newsletter; emailed it out; and pinged it out to LJ, website, Facebook, and Twitter.
07/15/2009 - Wednesday, dentist's appointment in the morning, no work downtime--in fact, I am not sure Wednesday even existed.
07/14/2009 - Tuesday
* Read Duotrope newsletter and updated markets newsletter from them (through Ralan's "Paying Markets").
07/13/2009 - Monday
* Posted writing log.
