The Los Angeles Comic Con and Accomplishments

I attended the Los Angeles Comic Con on Saturday cosplaying as Bruce Lee, and it was a lot of fun. Being so close to Halloween, it felt like one big Halloween party with so many cosplayers. My friends and I primarily looked around the exhibit hall and took a good amount of pictures. People were generally friendly, and overall we had a good time. I’m looking forward to future conventions such as The Long Beach Comic Expo and WonderCon.

I took a step back this week and focused on re-editing one of my short stories: The Wizard, the Shadow and the Tree for a short story contest instead on working on The Wilderness. There was a deadline, so it became a priority, but it was fun just working on a different work. I’ve been re-editing my works for a while now, and I would like to really get back to actually writing stories again. I have a lot of stories on the docket that are incomplete and in the process of getting finished. Most of them are in the fantasy genre.

I would say that I’m still in a rut, as I haven’t made much in terms of progress of achieving my goals. It’s not as bad as a week or two ago, and finishing the editing process of The Wizard, the Shadow and the Tree and submitting it to a short story contest helps as I feel that I got something accomplished. I think that I’ve felt better about things when I submit query letters, submit works to contests, or got things out with my Chris’s Storytelling Corner podcast. I should really focus on these small accomplishments and hope that the bigger accomplishments like getting a literary agent will eventually come my way.
