As for me:
Last Week's Goals:
FIRE AND EARTH (formerly known as SEVEN STARS): Work furiously on the revisions and settle on something for the 35-word pitch. Complete. And it even got a request (from an agent that rejected a query on this very same story in November).
BLOOD WILL TELL: Continue working on figuring out marketing. No time this week, but I have a couple of things bookmarked to take a look at this weekend (hopefully).
BLOOD IS THICKER: Let it cool a bit before going back for the next round. Easy one.
THE BARD'S GIFT: Hold off on revisions until I get FIRE AND EARTH back in shape. Started. I'm on Chapter 2.
FIRE AND EARTH (formerly known as SEVEN STARS): Figure out where to go with this story next. There have to be a few agents I haven't queried yet--or could query again.
BLOOD WILL TELL: Continue working on figuring out marketing.
BLOOD IS THICKER: Let it cool a bit before going back for the next round.
THE BARD'S GIFT: Keep working on the revisions. Brace myself to work on the query and write the synopsis. Yech!
I worked a bit on my Accounting book. Finished yet another rewrite on my Brull book. Wrote scene outlines for two of my four novels of my War Stone series.
Next week

The blasted thing started as a short story. Now, I am already three chapters into book 2 of the trilogy.

I worked on my novel last week. about 500 words. Not enough. I've committed to 1k words per day. I did some reading of OSC Char & VP which got me back on my bicycle. I need to contact my Vet for myself. (research for the story, but it was fun to say that :-))
