So on the three goals I’ve set for myself, 
solid progress on the novel, although perhaps not as rapid as I might have hoped. Chapter two is finished, I’m working on the rewrite of chapter three and I updated chapters one and two after workshopping the first chapter.
Still working on a new story (something that began life as an essay, but I decided can work better as fiction). I did get an acceptance (actually double acceptance, as it turned out) for a story I sent out at the end of last year. There will be more on that in September when it’s published.
On the poetry front, one new poem added to my corpus and another forming in my notebook. In theory, I’ll have responses on everything pending by May, although given the New Yorker’s tendency towards tardy responses, I’m not waiting for them before beginning the next submission round and there are only five other pending poetry submissions.
