This month I finally upped my word count a bit and made it up to 5100 words. I wrote one really long poem and some flash fiction. I outlined and did an entire worldbuilding set up for a short story to send to an anthology that ended up deciding not to publish this year after all. That was a bit depressing, but I guess at least I didn’t write the whole thing before finding that out.
In regular life, since I had the spinal surgery, I’ve been on meds that make it hard to think, so I’ve been crafting a lot more this month, rather than writing. I spent a bunch of time setting up an LLC for my arts and crafts business. I’m working on that project with a friend and we hope to launch a website or Etsy store early next year. I wrote two board game inspired cross stitch patterns and crocheted three different sized Meeples, which I’m hoping to sell on consignment to a new local board game store. I also read “The Marriage Spell” by Jayna Morrow (which I beta read for earlier this year).
