#WritersCoffeeClub Ch 2 Nbr 5 — What are your writing project goals?
Hm. Good opportunity to think about it enumerate.
Short term:
Write a completely unique 300-500 word #microfiction story for each of the days of October's #writever hashtag. I'm doing this because I think that my writing mostly in a well-defined universe with developed characters is making me rusty. I want to prove to myself that story ideas are a dime a dozen and that I can always find something to write. So far 4 of 5 of my stories are out-of-universe. The thread—which is not ever going to be in day order—is here: https://eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/111173835020993722.
Keep up with the #PennedPossibilities and #WordWeavers prompts. I've learned so much from everyone, and I've discovered so much about my own stories. Thank you, everyone!
Longer term:
Get through the final proofing of the serial currently in serialization. Get the whole thing done and published. Get the darn epilogue written already! Decide if I want to do a sequel.
Work out the hiccups my beta reader pointed out in my Reluctance series. Finish that story, or finish the amnesiac romance I started as a prompt on Mastodon (https://eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/110993252771253246). Either could serve as the start of my return to commercial publication.
Work on my earliest work, for which I've gotten back my copyright. Create an author's preferred edition, modernizing the text. Hire a cover artist. Consider writing side stories or a sequel if the characters demand it.
Work on my unpublished novellas, revise them, and make them ready for publication.
Work on my unpublished novels, converting them to 1st person, readying them for publication.
While doing all of the above, launch an author website where I can post short material and blog. Revise my photography site and start blogging images. Record audio versions of sample chapters and post those.
When I have inventory that's sellable, contact my author friends and network. Podcasts and such would be nice. Volunteer at conventions.
ASAP:
Retire in the next few months so I can accomplish all this.
