It took me a little while, but I did realize what I want the blog to do: grow an audience for my fiction, because at the end of the day, that’s what I’m here for, my fiction.<\/p>\n
So a few resolutions:<\/p>\n
I’ve started a collection of Sinferrean short fiction–containing companion pieces to Ashes<\/em> and Embers<\/em>; world-building pieces; fairy tales and legends, that sort of thing–that I’m calling When The Goddess Walked<\/em>. I have a few finished fairy tales and novellas already so I will pace them out and continue working on additional pieces. Eventually I plan to bundle them all together as a ePub for sale while I query Ashes<\/em> and edit Embers<\/em>. The first piece is now live: The Girl and Two Geese<\/em><\/a>, a cautionary Saphiran fairy tale about a too-clever farmer’s daughter and the Fog at the end of the world.<\/p>\n Outside the blog, the initial edits for Space Crazies<\/em> are done and it’s out for beta! No idea yet when I will get it back but I have an editor lined up who is eager to dismantle it and put it back together again, better faster stronger…<\/p>\n Next up on the editing board is Blackout Odyssey<\/em>, under my Michaela Mowbray psuedonym. Once those two are away, I’ll be starting in on Embers<\/em>, likely in the fall. I may, if the writing bug bites, dust off an idea I had a few years ago for a segmented\/sequential adventure fantasy story that would be great for a blog; but I might also save that for NaNo2018. We shall see! Things are afoot, at least, which is a relief after the dragging, endless gloom of the winter.<\/p>\n Oh and I’m up to rejection #54. Half-way there and on track for 100 rejections by the end of the year! But I’ll also see if I can step it up a little… fingers crossed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A few resolutions for the blag!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":200,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,7,8,9],"tags":[62,82,81,155,60],"class_list":["post-561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-personal","category-productivity","category-writing","tag-rejectionchallenge","tag-ashes","tag-blackout-odyssey","tag-plans","tag-querying"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/victoriafeistner.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/victoriafeistner.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/victoriafeistner.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/victoriafeistner.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/victoriafeistner.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=561"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/victoriafeistner.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":984,"href":"https:\/\/victoriafeistner.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561\/revisions\/984"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/victoriafeistner.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/victoriafeistner.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/victoriafeistner.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/victoriafeistner.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
