Weekly Accountability Post, Part the 5th

[catherineldf]

Just came from the kickoff meeting for my new contract so that's now a thing. A lot of this week was a wash from a productivity perspective - not much completed, several things stalled out. But here we go:

• Edits completed for Blood Moon and print revisions almost done - just a couple of small tweaks left.
• Accepted New Zealand author Rem Wigmore's Foxhunt and local agent and Minnesota writer Jennie Goloboy's comic roadtrip with aliens novel, Obviously, Aliens for Queen of Swords Press. Ideally, these will be the summer and winter books for this year.
• Got most QoSP titles loaded up onto Google Play, thus adding a platform for potential sales.
• Gave up on getting a PPP Loan for Jana.
• Got utterly mired in tax organization and didn't finish.
• Recognized that I wasn't using Media Bistro for anything and canceled it, but did sign up for an SEO for authors class with Car Rambo.
• Finished an interview post for Women in Horror Month at Horror Tree - it should go up in the next few days.
• Finished most of a blog post for Nerds of a Feather and some other sundry Blood Moon publicity.
• Applied for several events.
• Did some cleaning and organizing and required reading.
• Oh, and taught a class! In Flagrante Delicto went well and was a lot of fun. I'll be teaching Book Promo on a Budget on 3/7.

New job officially starts tomorrow with a 3 hour meeting. I have dealt with a bunch of technology-related stuff - I have to have an ergonomic keyboard and mouse and the ones we have live in the main office, but I'll need to be up in the attic most of the time so additional keyboard and mouse en route. I still have a TON more to do so we'll see what I can dent in the coming days. Much love to everyone down south dealing with the cold and freezing inside - may it pass quickly and you get better things very soon.
