Writing Victories

Shannon is getting ready for his annual workshop and the anthology that comes out of it. Participating authors take a prompt to write from and the resulting stories are published in the anthology.

Reading Victories

Personal Victories

1. Tim and his wife are starting a business and found a programmer on Upwork to help them get it going.
2. Robyn is working to set up her freelancing business. This week, she applied for five jobs, received three invites for interviews. She wasn’t awarded any of the positions, but was excited about the interviews as that’s more of a response than she’s received so far.

Literary News

Shannon saw a piece on the television show “Macgyver” (the original series with Richard Dean Anderson) that explained they had scientists develop all of the gadgets and methods Macgyver used to get out of trouble. It was all real, but there was always one step or one key component that was left out so viewers couldn’t reproduce what they were seeing.
