I had a very, very busy day yesterday planning out a short story writing schedule and making sure everything was on my power spreadsheet. I also had to update my word-count spreadsheets for July and create them for August. Creating them doesn’t take a lot of time, but I do have to manually add in the formulae, until I find out how to automate it all.
Now I’m only targeting my own fiction magazine, I’ve added the stories and the magazine into my schedule again. But it meant moving the rest of my writing with depth study to September and beyond for completion.
As we’re orf on our travels again today, there may not be another post until next week. I’ll try and post from Ireland if I can, though.

How’s your August looking?
Busy month.
I’m trying to stay quiet in August and just keep my head down working. The autumn is shaping up to be busy and interactive, so I need to gather my resources, rest up, integrate what i’ve learned the past few months, and use it as I plan.
Have fun in Ireland!
Good luck with the staying quiet – and good luck with the scheduling!
Enjoy Ireland.
Thank you!
