Writing Progress Report February 2021

In July 2018, I completed the first draft of my novel Assassin in New Marl City, totaling 99,981 words and 36 chapters. Completed pre-second draft (30 chapters long) in December 2018 at 89,072 words. Finished the second draft edits in December 2019 to complete the second draft edit. I started writing a new Chapter 1 in February 2020 and finished it in April 2020. The third draft will have 32 Chapters, and I finished the third draft edits on Chapter 3 in July 2020.

In February 2021, I submitted Chapter 7 of my novel titled Cuba Liberto to the Novel Writing Workshop at Parma, Ohio library.

In February 2021, I submitted the story “Alpha Centauri Salvage” to the Introductory Writing Workshop at Parma, Ohio library.

Writing Progress from February 2020 Continued

I made five posts on my Goodreads account in February 2021.

In the past, I submitted the stories; Four Humors, Space Station Sunyata, and Grognard to magazines.

The seven Flash Fiction Stories I have submitted in 2020 were Space-Dog Confession, Sleeping Sickness, Caliburnus, and Popular Mechanics Re-brewed, Wormhole Generator, Runs with Scissors, and Principled Rogue to magazines.

In January 2021, I submitted “Runs with Scissors” to Fireside Magazine. It is still open.

On February 1, 2021, I submitted “Wormhole Generator” to Cosmic Roots and Eldritch Shores. It was declined.

Magazine submissions for 2021 are 4 unique stories submitted 4 times with 0 accepted, 1 pending, and 3 rejections.

The Cosmic Roots and Eldritch Shores Magazine suggested the critters workshop to me. My new plan is to submit all stories to the critters workshop before sending the stories to magazines. With the workshop feedback, I will make the last revision before submission. I plan to send in stories starting in March 2021. In the critters workshop points are earned with adequate critiques of other workshop stories. To submit stories, the author must maintain a 75% critique rate. That means three critiques per month average.
