Accountability post, part the whatever
Jul. 2nd, 2021 09:56 amAs noted in yesterday's post, I came down with a hellacious cold early last week and only recovered my voice completely yesterday, so productivity has been a gradual thing. I did manage to talk to a couple of recruiters (before I lost my voice) and sent in a resume to a local company via a friend's referral. I'll knuckle down and do more applications next week. I also managed (before I got sick), a trip to see actual in person theater for the first time in a year and a half (MORLS - highly recommended) and a trip to a movie theater to see "In the Heights" (which we enjoyed). Since recovering (yesterday), I've also been to see "Fast & Furious 9," which was ridiculous and fun. Plus a couple of outdoor meetups with friends and one gaming night before I got sick. Jana also got to go to Utah to visit friends and family for a week, thanks to a friend's generosity.
What else has been going on?
What else has been going on?
- Wrapped up this year's Pride StoryBundle, which looks to be the best one so far in terms of most bundles sold and most $ raised for Rainbow Railroad since this started (Melissa Scott kicked it off in 2017 and I came on as co-curator 2 years later).
- Applied for an IT job that looks interesting and promising.
- Got our latest title, Foxhunt by Rem Wigmore, up for preorder. This is a great new queer climate fiction/hopepunk science fiction novel featuring a transwoman protagonist by another terrific queer author from New Zealand and it will be out on 8/20/21!
- Got a bunch of stuff out for reviews, etc.
- Kicked off a Smashwords sale on Queen of Swords Press titles.
- Started working on a new on demand version of one of my classes for Cat Rambo so I'm learning Teachable now.
- Finalized a couple more readings, panels and classes and an event table in the next month or two.
- Did an author reading and interview at a new to me romance group, Romance in Her Prime, which features older heroines and was a lot of fun.
- Picked up another story rejection, which was less fun.
- Got a new chapter of my novel in progress posted for our Patreon.
- Started a new short story.
- Sold some of Jana's tools and unused equipment and did some giveaways to start decluttering the house.
- Started work on a new publishing/editing resume to sue for those kinds of job applications.
- Did some job networking.
- Made reservations for tomorrow night's drag show at our local coffee house (the drag queens perform on the street while people watch from the patio).
