My Slightly Crappy Quarterly Update

So, it’s already the end of March and what have I accomplished for this quarter?

I’ve reached Chapter 24 of my latest novel-in-progress.

I’ve adapted a short script into a short story.

I’ve tweaked other scripts.

I’ve joined an online writers’ room.

I’ve entered a few screenwriting contests.

I’ve likely taken every form of webinar in existence.

I’ve started making an inventory of my IP assets. And, frankly, there’s quite a bit to cover there.

I’ve published eight novels—one of which made the New York Times bestseller list (years and years ago) and another which was nominated for a prestigious award. (These are among my IP assets, developed over the last couple of decades—not in the past quarter alone.)

I’ve published other books about film noir and neo-noir movies. (More assets I’ve developed over years.) And started a second podcast on the subject. A monthly podcast, co-hosted with another author. (Started in this quarter.)

I’ve submitted one of my short stories to a publication and am finishing up another to submit somewhere else. In fact, I have more than one short story written, but not published.

And, yet … so much needs doing still.

How does that happen?

Anyway, things to do include:

Revisie the short script I’d like to make into a film—again!

Make substantial headway on my novel-in-progress.

Organize my damned office.

Get my shit together in general.

Take a day off!

And get ready for what comes next!
