EOM Review

In a month where I notched up another year gone, I did okay on the writing front.

I was chuffed to receive The Scribbler Award - I don't get many awards so I'm milking this for all it's worth.

I managed a below-par 8585 new words on Newland which also gained a new name - A Kookaburra's Laugh.

I wrote one new short which I promptly turned into a screen play script and submitted as an assignment.

Wamphyri was rejected and subsequently resent out. I also discovered Dark Rose was languishing at a failed market and so resubbed her as well to Yellow Mama who graciously offered her a home at which to spend Halloween.

Winged Shepherd of Innocence was published at Fear & Trembling Magazine.

I finished revising and submitted Dreaming, which was immediately short listed by the editor.

I completed and submitted five assignments. I received three of these back - all have gained a B grade pass.

I have read RealmShift & MageSign by Alan Baxter. I have also posted a review of the first and will do the review for the second shortly.

I have also read and reviewed Tainted: Tales of the Supernatural, edited by Aaron Polson, and Phantasy Moste Grotesk by Felicity Dowker.

I also promised myself I'd try to blog a little less to allow for more writing time. Last month I blogged 43 separate times and accomplished 15,000 or so words on my manuscript, three short stories and a couple of assignments. I also managed to read a bit. This month I've done about half the words on the manuscript, only one short story, and 5 assignments - but only 40 posts on the blog. So much for that theory.

On to April where I fully expect to get even less done. Only 30 days in the month and 5 or 6 of them will be off limits for writing due to being away on holiday. The last week of the month could be a total write off as well. May could be worse - more on that as it approaches.

Here's hoping you had a better month and have better times to look forward to.
