Publication

I found out about two more publication's so far this week. More than I thought I would have within a year. One is not for pay, another is but I'm unsure how much it will be as of yet. My new submission tracker "Sonar" is kick ass. I highly recommend using it for anything writing related, even resumes you've submitted or job's you've applied too. It is just a really handy tool to have on your computer, free to download, and quick with user interface. You really can't go wrong. As for the submission count to my name so far, it looks like this:
You and Me Magazine (In May)
Kraze Magazine (Still in editing process after approval)
The Compass Magazine (In June)

Taking a Break

I'm taking a break from all my prior writing commitments to take a mental recharge in erotica writing. Foreign territory, something I find myself incapable of doing, thus I want to try. I've been blundering on and off with the novel and I need a steady result right now, there is not enough time for my usual six pages a day. If flow is going to be disrupted I should get some writing done that is not work related. So short erotic fiction I hope to turn into an e-book it is, simply because it terrifies me. So did the novel at first, now it's just an eyesore rather than a terror. I hope to finish my side project by the end of the weekend, edited and ready to be looked at by the next weekend. Then I can feel accomplished and refreshed towards my bigger work, give my muse a break from seriousness, or one would hope. It's an uphill battle when chunks keep getting taken out of the day, but what's it worth if you don't fight for it?

Full Time Job

I've nabbed a full time job for after graduation and it is official. It doesn't pay as much as I would like but it's a decent job while I'm submitting articles, short stories, and my novel to different places. I'm writing SEO articles for a company as a ghost writer. My first contract was grants and now it's work from home jobs, Elance never fails me though if you don't put effort into it the website can drain your bank account quickly. It is certainly a commitment and they do take a chunk of your earnings as well as monthly fee. I've been getting solid jobs from them for about a year now though, so if you have the credentials it's a wonderful site to start working from home. Several other places I make sure to include in my morning check:

Freelance Writing Gigs
All Freelance Writing
C. Hope Clark's Blog (This is a wonderful site for free contests that can launch your career)

That's all I got in the brain for now. Thanks for stopping by.
