Accountability: Progress Report March 2026, Week 4, ending March 28, 2026

Don’t ask me where the week went. It was another stretch of disruptions and family illness, although it ended well, and we are all feeling a lot better for having remembered to rest, and for taking care of each other.

Goals for March 2026, Week 4, ending March 29, 2026

1. complete, edit, and submit one short story submission (let's call it SHSTSub#2 for March)

2. write at least 4k on the draft for March ShSTSub#3 (while researching, because alternate history is a new genre for me);

3. Finalize the pre-nuke mark-up/edit, read-over edit (voiceless if I must), format, and pre-release for Book 5;

4. Remember to do the social media marketing for the books in promotions this month; and

5. Read at least half a book written by someone else.
