I’m still doing this but will stop reporting here. It doesn’t seem like a very productive thing to do.

I’ve finished a new story and a poem, so far this month, and am into a third chapter (everything is in draft form). I received a rejection journal this month, too, but Ive sent the same stories to other places.

I’m going to continue working, concentrating on taking small steps, making paragraphs appear on the page, and hope that everything else falls into place. My own theory is that, on top of everything else, you simply have to sweat it out, to ignore the clock and just be obsessive enough to get through it.

Good luck!

I spent all of June writing. I finished a short story and planned chapters for a longer piece. I’ve written a draft for the first chapter. I’ve sent stories to various journals.

Writing full-time is a difficult process. A lot of my friends state they are jealous that I am doing what I want to do. I know why they say it, but it is also a very challenging task to set before yourself.

Anyway, I’m doing it through to July. Best of luck to anyone taking it on themselves.

Onto the next one.
