abracanabra: (editing)
06/01/2009 - Monday, the first day of my new afternoon-only work schedule.
* What this writer sees her job as: http://matociquala.livejournal.com/1627470.html
* Caught up on chapter and plot summaries through Vicesteed ch. 28.
* Submitted Vicesteed chs. 29-30(partial) to Minnspec. Those are the chapters with, respectively, The Big Love Scene, and The Whorehouse Revelation. I'm not sure how I feel about listening to people discuss sex scenes that I wrote. We'll see.
* Processed Withersin's speedy "please submit again" personal rejection of "Road of Dreams." I have heard that editors never-ever include "please submit again" in their form rejection letter, only if they actually mean it, but I am unconvinced.
* Proposed syndicating my Aswiebe's Market List newsletter to a website looking for unpaid SF/F/H columns.
* [livejournal.com profile] penthius freewriting about no news.
* Copied Penthius freewritings over to backup file.
* Created a new document for "Kept in Coral," a flash fiction piece I accidentally wrote while doing freewriting.
* Posted Part 2 of my Wiscon panel notes.

05/29/2009 - Friday, no downtime, cleaning for imminent arrival of m-i-l in the morning instead of writing.
* Read 2 FFWSmallMarkets, FundsforWriters, 2 WritersDigest, Critters, WritersWeekly, Writing-World, 2 Duotrope newsletters.
* Posted writing log.
* [livejournal.com profile] penthius freewriting about kidnapping an assistant (was feeling overwhelmed at work).
* Updated market list from Duotrope and old Duotrope newsletter.
* A handy trick for figuring out when to use who or whom: http://blog.writersdigest.com/qq/Who+Vs+Whom.aspx
