Last Week's Goals

I am making progress on my outline. I've concentrated on the first section of the novel up to the inciting incident. I still need to detail those scenes. Now that I have removed the extra PoV characters this should go easier.

My goals for next week:

• Organize scenes
• Improve scene details

I want to finish detailing the scenes up to the inciting incident at least. After that I would like to write some rough drafts for those scenes.

What did I learn this week?

Not much this week. I've been too busy to really think much this week.

DREAMER'S ROSE: Work on chapter exchange revisions as they come.
Yes.

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE: Let it rest for a while longer.
Easy goal.

THE IGNORED PROPHECY: Continue revisions.
Nope, haven't touched it.

BLOOD WILL TELL: Send two new queries out.
Yes.

MAGE STORM: Continue the second draft. Get to chapter 18.
Yes. In fact, I got all the way through to the end of the first pass.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
Yes.

Next Week's Goals:

DREAMER'S ROSE:
Work on chapter exchange revisions as they come. Continue to think about how I would change this to YA, if that's what I decide to do with it.

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE:
Let it rest for a while longer. When I've finished the revisions on its sequel, I'll take another look at it.

THE IGNORED PROPHECY:
Restart revisions.

BLOOD WILL TELL:
Send two new queries out.

MAGE STORM:
Start the second pass through of the second draft. (There are different things I'll be looking for in the second pass.) Get to Chapter 7 (one chapter a day).

Mainstream novel: I played a particular scene in my head on the way home from work the other day, and I tweaked it later that evening. Other than that, I've not touched this story.

"Agents of the Fourth Wind" (SF): I've not done much actual work on this story since the synopsis challenge ended, but I added a few additional thoughts to my digital audio recording collection.

UPCOMING WEEK
"Metzgerhund Empire" (YA): Complete the last few scenes of the last chapter, and rewrite the agent query letter.

Mainstream novel: Considering my upcoming workload (both in and away from my writing studio), any work I perform on this story will be a bonus.

"Agents of the Fourth Wind" (SF): Considering my upcoming workload (both in and away from my writing studio), any work I perform on this story will be a bonus. Echo.

NOTES
During this time, I am also working on three SF short stories: one is an overhaul from a story I mistakenly left of my shelf for way too long, the second is brand new, and the third is a sequel-of-sorts of a story I ditched a year ago because I no longer liked it.
