Last Week's Goals
I got nothing done this last week. I've been too busy working long hours at work and am too tired at night to think. There's always next week.
My goals for next week:
My main goal this week is to get back in the writing / getting up early habit.
What did I learn this week?
Not much.

On the Shelf:
THE SHAMAN'S CURSE
THE IGNORED PROPHECY
BLOOD WILL TELL
DREAMER'S ROSE: Keep working on the revisions.
Yes. Slowly, but still progress.
MAGE STORM: Send three more queries out.
Nope. I'm waiting to hear back, hopefully, from some of those I already sent out.
SEVEN STARS: Let's see if I can get this story moving, now.
Yes, yes, yes. Not as fast as I'd like, but it's definitely moving.
OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
Yep.
Next Week's Goals:
On the Shelf:
THE SHAMAN'S CURSE
THE IGNORED PROPHECY
BLOOD WILL TELL
BLOOD WILL TELL is getting four readers this month. Then we'll see.
I'm starting to jot down ideas of how the other two might be changed.
DREAMER'S ROSE:
Keep working on the revisions. I've only got six chapters to go to finish off this round and let it rest again. Unfortunately, the next one needs a lot of work.
MAGE STORM:
Send three more queries out.
SEVEN STARS:
Try to get another two chapters done.
OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
I did some good work on New Mage even though not as much as I want. I figured out how to get the drugs in her but now I have figure out how to get her outside of the club she is in and into an alley.
I finished redoing chapter two of Bright Lights. Now it's up to just a tad under 80,000 words. So I will have 84,000 for sure and possibly over 90 thousand.
And worked most on "Storm Born". Started chapter 12 or maybe 13, anyway, the last chapter was a whopping 10,000 words. So now I have around 63,500 words. Only another 20,500 words to go..for my minimum. That's 8,000 per chapter.I think I said that last week but it's still true.
Actually I have somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 words in that next chapter. But I realized I over did it with my hero going home and bemoaning that he doesn't know what to do next. I think I've got him doing that 5 or 6 times. If I work in the werewolf in this chapter, along with a couple of other things that could bring it up to 8,000 words..we shall see. And somewhere I need to put in that his ex-fiance knows he "tried" to kiss his old girl friend and confronts him with being a hypocrite. I believe I said that before too but I still haven't figured out where to put it. And I say "tried" because he really did trip.
So next week or that is this week goals are to finish the scene with the would be rapist-I already know most of what happens,, start redoing chapter three and work more on "Storm Born".
