What Did I Accomplish Today to Be a Writer?

I did Day 235 of the 100 Words a Day Writing Challenge 2024 through L.A. Writers’ Lab and practiced reading through my manuscript as a script for upcoming recording sessions. There were some minor changes I needed to make for the sake of clarity, but overall, it’s been working well. The one hiccup I hit today was wondering what to do about quoting songs. I think I’m going to need to get permission to use some lyrics, but that feels like a big headache to go through.

Other than that, I worked on “job descriptions” in order to sort out in my head what kind of tasks need to be done to get this business off the ground. Oh, and I spent more time on my budget. And I tested out the throat spray and lozenges I got from Sweetwater Sound to hopefully help me not cough while I’m recording.

Research & Development I’m Doing to Improve My Writing & Business Strategy

Before, I was really focusing on creating content to help other writers, but I’m realizing it’s best to finish my own pieces and then share later what I learned in the process. In a lot of ways, I’ve been getting the cart before the horse. And this horse is tired, so I’d better hit the hay.

Thanks for reading what I’m writing,

Jody Susan
