Writerly resolutions: August status

Progress on the novel, a lot of horizontal lines (no progress) but some marks showing where I finished drafts of two chapters and a bit of progress on a newer chapterMy writing progress this month has been, to be honest, pretty miserable. A week on vacation with my kids plus a week of being sick have led to almost no progress. That said, I did finish a workshoppable draft of a new story plus of a chapter of the novel that’s been in progress most of the summer.

I’ve finally closed out my current round of poetry submissions and started back on writing new poems which is a good thing because I’ve had five poems accepted this month, all in one weekend (although in typical writerly glass is half empty fashion after three consecutive days of acceptances, when the fourth day came without one, I was sad and empty). I’ve also had a full request on the novel, just as I was about to shelve the damn thing. 

Of course alongside that has been a big pile of rejections keeping my acceptance rate in the single digits still.
