Writerly resolutions: November status

The novel continues with a completed draft of theChart showing steady progress on the rewrite of the first chapter. A vertical line marks the completion, then a relatively flat line while I did revisions on the rewrite. Another vertical line marks the point where I finished that chapter, then the line is flatish for a bit and then starts to take off when I start digging into writing chapter two. first chapter (although I do periodically think of things to add in that I left out) and a bit of a start on the second chapter, although weekends with the kids have kept me from the keyboard more than I might otherwise.

Querying the old novel still nets nothing but form rejections.

I’ve been getting some submissions out of a revised version of the first chapter of my first (trunked) novel. This is the only story that garnered a tiered rejection from One Story that hasn’t found a home elsewhere.

I finished a draft of a pesky story I’d been playing footsie with for a few years and decided that there’s nothing there. Into the bin with it.

I had a dream about a poem that I’ve been working on which is always a good sign because dream poems seem to always be successful.

Working on a new story for workshop and revision of the last story I workshopped. I hope to have the latter into submissions before the end of the year.

November’s publications include a short story (novel excerpt) at Exterminating Angel and a poem at Meniscus.
