Weekly Virtual Writing Session for 6/19/07

Last week I headed over to Borders in Hyannis MA for weekly writing/drawing without Gynn. Miranda was there, and I met a couple of guys who were working on designing a game and chatted with them for a bit.

This week Gynn and Miranda are both planning on attending. Haven't heard from Lorie or Lynette yet, and they two gentlemen I met last week might stop by.

Goals From Last Week: Script the first scene of issue two of my comic book series, Perils of Picorna, and work on organizing notes for that series.

Results Last Week: Finished the script work that I'd been hoping to get done, but didn't do much on the notes. I went over the scripting I had done with my co-author Amy last night and she seemed pleased with what I had. The work on the notes still needs to get done, but I have other priorities for tonight.

This Week's Goals: The deadline for my zine, Caravan, is rapidly looming, so I need to devote some work to that. I'd like to organize the material I have written so far and get three pages of Caravan laid out. I'd also like to write one poem tonight

Question of the week: Have you ever had your work published in a paying market?

I have not. I've had plenty of publications that pay in free copies and the like, but I have yet to actually be paid for my writing. Part of the reason for this is that I have not been fixated on this as a goal, so I have not put huge amounts of effort into submitting to paying markets.

How about you? If you're local, join us at Borders every Tuesday night for writing/drawing. If you're not in the area, leave a comment. Are you writing tonight? What are your goals? What's your answer to the Question of the Week?
