Progress Report January/February 2025

My big achievement over the past month is that I wrote (or started) several columns for Queer Sci-fi. I really like having a backlog of those columns so I don’t have to scramble at the last minute around the 13^th of every month.

I worked (a little, maybe not enough!) on a couple of the longer stories. I also diddled around on a few new ideas. I’m trying not to kick myself for not doing as much on the longer fiction. I probably do pretty well, but I’m not getting any younger.

I sat down and started a separate notebook for lists of the stuff I need to finish and am keeping it with me when I go for one of my writing jags at the library. (Yes, I also write at home!)

I wrote the weekly flash fiction stories, as well as the one monthly one. I’ve gotten lazy and procrastinated on writing a couple of them (including the one that’s due tomorrow!) Yes, I wasted a lot of time online, which is the advantage of doing this at the Public Library; I’m not online!

I need to kick my work habits back up.

That’s about it for now.
