Tasks I completed
Finished one of the baby sweaters I'm making for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law's babies, in time for the baby shower and the baby's birth! I also ordered the yarn I needed to finish the other baby sweater.
Got the short short "Marriages Mysteries" revised. Waiting for a friend's comments and then will send out.
Got the longer short story "Trying" revised and sent it out.
Sent out my body image essay (still need to get this out to more mags)
Wrote a pitch for the Coupling column of the Boston Globe
Didn't get to:
Write a pitch for an article on simultaneous submissions and find some writing mags where it might find a home.
Write a pitch for Utube's first literary journal, Shape of a Box. (Though I did brainstorm about this and plan to go back to it.)
Extra writing I did that wasn't on my list
Worked on a story titled Obit Artist. It's based on something I started last fall, but then left simmering on the back burner until now. I plan to work on it a bit today in hopes of having a first draft done before WriMo begins tomorrow.
On a personal note, I'm not doing too much for Halloween this year, and I am just fine with that. We'll hand out candy and then head to B's aunt's and uncle's to hang outside with a fire pit and some drinks, watching the kiddies run around. I will leave you with a picture of the pumpkins we and some friends carved earlier in the season:
Also, I grew my very own pumpkin in the yard this year! Picture of the cutey to come...

Talented pumpkin carvers!
I'm afraid to look back on my October to-dos. But, as usual, you've inspired me.
As for your article on simultaneous submissions, I have an "in" at P&W -- let me know if you interested in pitching it there.
