catherineldf | Weekly Accountability Post, the 2nd (Reply)

I have been unemployed exactly 2 weeks. Am I caught up? No. Have I made progress? Yes. Do I still have miles to go before I sleep, as it were? Definitely. Everything always takes longer than I think it will, the Catherine Motto.
Accomplished since last week:

Learned to make soft pretzels. This was fun and kind of futsy.
Attended 2 different seminars, one on small business organizing though Dream Foundry and the other on content marketing through the Minnesota Book Publisher's Roundtable.
Applied for our Minnesota political donation refund (this is a thing here).
Got unemployment sorted so I can actually collect some for a bit. It ain't much so I'll have to come up with other plans soon so as not to drain all our resources.
Followed up on and got dates for my upcoming Springboard for the Arts workshop and set up a meeting with Cat Rambo to start the process to record some of my classes and make them on-demand.
Dropped off donations at Free Geek.
Drafted a Queen of Swords Press Kickstarter for recording audio books and sent it out for review.
Finished a new chapter of my novel for Patreon, wrote most of a new story draft (due next month), started another new story and followed up on a fiction project that we dropped the ball on at the end of last year.
Elise Matthesen made some glorious jewelry and sent me part of the proceeds for Queen of Swords Press. They sold instantly, but here's the pendant and the earrings. (Please buy Elise's other jewelry too!)
Saw a bunch of lovely people sign up for the Patreon. I normally channel part of each of my paychecks into the Press to give us operating capital and keep things stable between big sales, promos and other things that give us a boost; we still have months where we have less than $100 coming in so the Patreon and our Ko-fi help us weather those months as well as helping us do wacky things like some advertising, etc. If we can get to $200 or more on the Patreon, we would be reasonably stable. If we could get to $300 a month, all our baseline expenses would be covered, we could take on new titles, etc. And pay me my royalties, which otherwise get channeled into the Press. Big shoutout of gratitude for everyone who's supported us so far!
Dusted and decluttered the dining room.
Sent my watch to be repaired.
Read submissions and Melissa Scott's forthcoming novel, Water Horse, which I'll be blurbing. Finished reading and blurbing Juliette Wade's Transgressions of Power.
Wrote part of my friend Dave Christensen's obituary.
Got my profile set up for the Professional Editor's Network - I'm unofficially open for small editing projects, publishing coaching, etc. I should have more detail and price list up on my website by next week.
Talked to a recruiter and began following up on jobs that people told me about.

Now back to the grindstone. I haven't managed to deal with healthcare yet, so that's a big stressor right now. Gotta dive back in and tackle that next.
