Regular day again today…
For reading, I continued reading IDW’s TMNT.
For data analysis, I made some additional improvements to my editing workflow that will help me create cleaner manuscripts. One of those changes will be an enhancement to my macro; another will be the addition of Grammarly Premium. I am not a huge fan of everything Grammarly Premium recommends and I do not accept most of it; but there is some good stuff hidden in there that helps with dictated text. I’ll share more about this at some point in the future.
For marketing, I received a short story rejection and got that story off to the next market.
For production, I’ll do over 4,000 words today. I am sitting at 3750, but I have another dictation session waiting for me as I have to do the dishes still tonight. That’s a great start to the week because I expect my numbers to possibly be lower on Monday and Tuesday due to a busier week than usual at work. I’m starting the week with a great surplus that I can use if needed.
Anyhoo, the current book I’m writing on author marketing isn’t going to last much longer. It’ll probably be done on Tuesday. Therefore, it’s time to open the survey for my next book. Vote here: https://forms.gle/febDAhvjwKtHbTy77
Have a great night.
