Checkpoint

Here is the update on my goals toward self-employment and my writing life:

I have completed one grant application and started on a second.

I have six art essays for magazines and museums in the works.

I am editing one anthology and two literary journals.

I am critiquing one novel.

I have submitted parts of my MFA thesis to 4 literary journals.

I have studied 6 top-tier literary journals and magazines to determine whether my work is a good fit for each publication.

I have saved $2,000. (GOAL = $5,000).

And most importantly: I continue to write.
