For myself:

Last Week's Goals:

On the Shelf:
THE IGNORED PROPHECY
DREAMER'S ROSE:

MAGIC'S FOOL (Working Title): Just started.
Well, I didn't set a goal last week. That was probably a good thing.

MAGE STORM: Go over the query letter and synopsis and start sending it out.
Yes to the going over, but not quite ready to start sending it out yet.

SEVEN STARS: Wait.
Easy goal.

BLOOD WILL TELL: Draft a new query letter, look over the synopsis, and start sending it out.
Not much on this one, yet. As soon as I get MAGE STORM sorted out.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
Yes.

Next Week's Goals:

On the Shelf:
THE IGNORED PROPHECY
DREAMER'S ROSE:

MAGIC'S FOOL (Working Title):
It's going slow so far. Barely started chapter 3. And I'm not going to get back to it full time until I've taken care of the queries and synopsis. So let's just say finish chapter 3 for this week.

MAGE STORM:
Go over the query letter and synopsis and start sending it out.

SEVEN STARS:
Wait.

BLOOD WILL TELL:
Draft a new query letter, look over the synopsis, and start sending it out.

My First Project is Entitled PURE ENERGY. I actually don't feel comfortable giving any details on it just yet but it's Fantasy/Sci-fi with a little romance.

My Second Project is a mini E-Book I recently Released entitled Vision of a Paramour ( You can read it on my website antoniolocke.com under the "#VOAP" tab for free ).... It's a 10 page book filled with poems that will be released in series each having 10 poems in it. The First Series explains the feelings the male character ( no name ) goes through after going through his first lost love basically learning the Melancholy of it all...
Series Two I writing now, which his life afterwards, falling in love again ETC ETC...

THIS WEEK: ( PURE ENERGY)
-Still writing the background for all my main characters

Welcome.

I thought I would be out this quarter too, but was hit in the face with an idea that I'm currently blasting through.

I do hope to be back to the novel soon tho. I was doing well with it. I need more time...

So...for this week...

BD&L at least three chapters. Really have to push, my reader is waiting. A couple of these are basically total first-writes but then I'll be back into re-writing.

The Other Book I'll go for at least two chapters, first go round.
