On August 26, 2016, I created my website at garydavidgillen.com. Making a website was part of my plan to become a social media experienced writer. I had written a novel and a few short stories over the years, but I had stopped writing in 2012. In December of 2015, I decided to start writing again. I finished the story I was writing in 2012 (called Dystopia then, now called Kay-Eye.) in that month and created a plan for 2016.
My 2016 plan called for writing four short stories, begin attending conventions, creating Facebook and Twitter accounts, and starting a website. I wanted to become a better writer and then expand the short novel that I had written in 1995 (it was called A Gathering in New Marl in 1995 and I have renamed it Assassin in New Marl City). I joined a writer’s workshop group at the South Euclid-Lyndhurst Public Library and two at the Parma-Snow Library. It has been a busy two years and I expect a busier year in 2019.
Writing Progress from August 2016 to August 2018
Worked on Assassin in New Marl City. I wanted to expand the novel from 20 chapters to 36 chapters (100000 words total). I wrote six chapters from January 2017 to August 2017. Wrote the other ten chapters from August 2017 to July 2018. Cut six chapters of the ten and plan to use them in the sequel novel. Editing the novel now and it is planned to total 88000 words.
Bought a Map for Assassin in New Marl City from Fiveer in April 2017.
I bought a banner from Fiveer for my website, Facebook, and Twitter accounts in April 2017. (It is the banner at the beginning of this report.)
Writing Progress from August 2016 to August 2018
January 2016 to August 2016 I wrote Four Humors and Space Station Sunyata.
August 2016 to October 2016 I wrote White Bracer and Mage Squad.
January 2017 to August 2017 I wrote the flash fiction short stories LARP Film Noir, Hybrid-Dog Confession, and Get to the Point.
September 2017 to August 2018 I wrote the flash fiction short stories Torso Secret History, Sleeping Sickness, Memorial Board, A Yacht at Midnight (a scene from Cuba Liberto), and Tales of the Sacred Band (prequel story from the Gairn series).
The stories Four Humors, Space Station Sunyata, Grognard, Get to the Point, and LARP Film Noir has been submitted to magazines.
Statistics of magazine submissions from December 2016 to August 2018 are; 5 different stories (Four Humors, Space Station Sunyata, Grognard, Get to the Point, and LARP Film Noir) submitted a total of 15 times with 0 accepted, 0 pending, and 15 rejections.
