Welcome to our 1st Check-in for this Summer Writing Challenge, tracking not only words but also other tasks that a writer needs to pursue success. We began tracking on June 1, and we’ll continue to July 31.

As part of my Master Plan, I have three projects.

• Turning the Defeat Writer’s Block series into audiobook, ebook, and paperback.
• A massive project writing five short story, creating audiofiles for 15 stories, and publishing the 5-story collection and the 15-stoory bundle in ebook, paperback, and audiobook.
• All the miscellaneous tasks that writers do, including this podcast

The check-ins will list what occurred with the projects as well as classifying them as successes or failures.

We’ll conclude with five minutes or so of inspirational musings on writing.
