What Did I Accomplish Today to Be a Writer?

I did Day 188 of the 100 Words a Day Writing Challenge 2024 through L.A. Writers’ Lab and worked on listening to the last section of my manuscript about my mom, so that I could catch snags and refine little details, like being consistent in a.m. vs A.M. – tiny nit-picky things like that.

I also worked on editing a piece for someone who is making a submission for publication. Mostly, I went through and tried to eliminate every excessive word.

I also met with a friend to discuss her upcoming book, and to seek advice on some of my own decisions.

Also, I worked on two different draft ideas for a back cover, and passed them on for feedback from people I trust.

Thanks for reading what I’m writing,
