I received a very nice rejection letter for February's submission today.
It's one of those stories that has had nice things said about it but it just hasn't found a home yet. I'm not sure if I'll send it back out as April's submission or if I need to do a bit more work on the story.

March 10 - Progress
With pokes from my writing partner, I finally slowed down enough to write. It's been a busy day between appointments and work.
The last few scenes have been difficult for different reasons. The first one had 'big nasty thing' that had to happen. The last had T working out a possible reason for big nasty thing. (He's not a happy camper at the moment. Which means others are soon going to also be unhappy.)
Title: Chaos Unleashed
Words Total:36,664
Words Today:399
Reason for stopping: Finished the scene and the antagonist is on the move
Music: Red - Nothing and Everything

Planning ahead
It is March which means it's almost time for camp! Okay, not the summer camp where you're bitten by mosquitoes, dealing with sunburn and eating too many hot dogs. No, this is becoming one of my favourite camps. April brings the first of two Camp NaNoWriMo months. (The second is July.)
I "won" NaNoWriMo last year but the book wants to be longer and needs some TLC. My April goal is to revise Tidal Wave (and find a better name for it in the process). In the mean time, I need to add words to the traditional fantasy novel I've been fighting with.

March 2
I just sent off this month's submission. The market closes at the end of March, so I'm not expecting to hear back right away.
Yesterday, I scribbled a bit at breakfast. Today, I have plans to at least input those few words and see if that sparks more.

February roundup
You might infer from the lack of posts in February that it was not a good month for writing. You would be correct.
I spent part of the month sick. At the day job, I was assigned work for a stream of business I haven't audited in years. It took a week before I realized one of the reasons I was tired (mentally) was that it was like going through training again.
I do have hopes for March.
February Stats:
Total Words - I'm not sure. Beyond the poem, it was mostly a "poking at words" month
Completed - 1 poem
Submissions - 1
Days with writing related activity -15
