Yes. [Smile]

MAGE STORM: Work on the query, pitches, and synopsis.
Oh, yeah. Getting closer on the query, at least. [Smile]

Easy one. [Smile]

I'll have the same goal every week until I reach it: The End. [Big Grin]

Getting there, though not there yet.

Developing a couple of other ideas as well. One is my next novel. One is a short story. Another would be a WotF story.

But, The End first. [Smile]

Last week goals:

Write every day at least 1/2 hour in 1st draft of Soul of the Machine (working title). MISSED. I think I missed one day.

Knock out two chapters of SOTM first draft. ACCOMPLISHED, which puts me 5 or so chapters from THE END.

Same goals this week, minimum 1/2 hour writing new words every day, minimum 2 chapters.

Working through my current lysiscan novel. Let us see....10,000 per month means about 2,500 a week. Yep. Did that along with a lot of hunting for errors, commas, and other piddling little annoyances like inconsistencies. People in wrong places. Stuff like that.

I wrote 1900 words last night. I'm fast approaching where I want to be, but between the challenge story I've opted for in another thread, the short I've promised my kids and plotting the next novel, I bet i can keep it up for a while. I've managed 1k a night more often than not. So, for my next one, I'm going to try and up it to 2k. We'll see.
