Well, we’re at the end of Round 4 of ROW 80.
The past year has seen me complete two novels and put them out there for public consumption, as well as make significant progress on the third. Also, under a pseudonym, I’ve put out a handful of short fiction that’s done okay. So that’s not bad progress for the first year.
My sales are nowhere near where I’d like them to be. But then again, no matter where they are, they probably wouldn’t be where I’d like them to be. We always want more sales, as writers. Part of human nature.
As my progress hasn’t changed much since the last entry when I reviewed my goals, I’m not going to repeat them here. What I will do is say that I’m quite happy with how ROW80′s accountability system has aided me in making real progress on my writing career, throughout the entire year.
When I started ROW80 Round 1 in January 2011, I had no books published. Now I have two books (and some short fiction) out there and I’m starting to slowly see some money come back to me for all my efforts.
It’s got me eager to do more. Well, most of the time. Sometimes I get some temporary inertia, as I recently posted about. But then I get excited about this or that and I’m back on track.
So, I guess all this is to say a big Thank You to all my ROW80 accountability partners and to let you know I’ll be back again for the next ROW80.
Whether it’s called ROW 80 Round 5, or ROW80 Round 1 (2012), I don’t know. All I know is, I’ll be back.
