Accomplished 17 – 23 Aug 2019

This week I started focusing my writing so that I’m only working on items that have deadlines. It means I won’t be working on some of my ideas that have been percolating, but I know I’ll write better stories by staying focused.

1. I completed the first draft of the Blessing sisters’ story for the Fairfax Genealogical Society’s Family History Writing SIC. Deadline is October 1, 2019.

2. I joined the 100 Day Book program to write the story about half sisters Elizabeth Wellman Winney and Kathryn Lorenz Brucher, and their mother, Mary Heuertz Wellman Lorenz. First Deadline is September 20, 2019.

3. I worked on my poem submission for the Winter Edition of The First Line. Deadline is November 1, 2019

Planned for Next Week

1. Work on each of the above writing projects and try not to get distracted by other story ideas.
