First submission of 2008

Yes, I’m still alive!
My first submission of the year just left my outbox, and nary a Crainesian in sight. Ack!
 
I’ve been over it a gazillion times, but I just KNOW if I look again, I’ll see a mistake somewhere. Isn’t that the way it works?

** Yay! I finished TE yesterday. Today I’m working on the synopsis and query that goes with the submission. I’ve gotten critiques back, edited it. Tomorrow, I submit it to Samhain.

** Submit, submit, submit. That’s my mantra and slogan for 2008. I’ve mapped out my goals for the year, I have the first quarter broken down and I’m working on the weekly requirements that will help me reach the quarterly goal.

** I now have two accountability partners (we check in weekly) and a daily push partner, so I have high hopes for this year’s productivity.

How about you. Do you have a push partner, an accountability partner, or does your critique partner fill all those roles?

>Happy New Year all you blog checkers who never comment and (of course!) to those who do. 🙂

For all my writer friends, here’s hoping we all have a fantastic year and make great strides in our careers, regardless of what level you’re working to achieve at this time.

Cheers!
