Writing on a novel Characterization World Building Relevant research

As for me.
Last Week's Goals:
MAGE STORM: Wait out the latest request and a couple of recent queries. After that, I'll probably try a small publisher. Still waiting. It's been two months on the request.
MAGIC AND POWER: Write the synopsis. Done!
THE SHAMAN'S CURSE: Plan for a July launch. Well, trying anyway.
DREAMER'S ROSE: Pause, for now. Easy one.
THE IGNORED PROPHECY: Finish reworking the chapters I'd "finished" and start forward. Almost done with the previously "finished" chapters. They were a lot less finished than I'd thought.
WEIRD OZ: I've finally started to get some new ideas on how to fix this one. For now, just jot those ideas down as they come and let them percolate. Ongoing.
MAGE STORM: Wait out the latest request and a couple of recent queries. After that, I'll probably try a small publisher. I can't move forward though until I hear back from that request.
MAGIC AND POWER: Review the first chapter or two and start querying.
THE SHAMAN'S CURSE: Prepare for launch on July 7th.
DREAMER'S ROSE: Pause, for now.
THE IGNORED PROPHECY: Finish reworking the chapters I'd "finished" and start forward.
WEIRD OZ: I've finally started to get some new ideas on how to fix this one. For now, just jot those ideas down as they come and let them percolate.

Life intruded last week and I didn’t get to do more than ‘think’ about my Daisyworld task on Monday, after that it all went to pot. What I did manage to do yesterday (Saturday) was to get all my whiteboard images collated and organised with the idea of transcribing them to text. With luck, this coming week I will accomplish that ‘new’ task and work on these carryover ones. Wish me luck, but I hope I won’t need it.
Carrying over
Æsir Dawn
This coming week I want to explore their ‘Powers’. What makes them Gods and what can they do? I also want to start exploring the dynamics between all three ‘children’ and between each of them and their ‘Father’, both collectively and individually.
Daisyworld
I want to think about how, well, um, err, how, um, the abilities she has manifest themselves in her mind and how this affects her physically and emotionally. As you can tell, this is all a bit nebulous at the moment.
Jack Rayne
I want to try and start writing the 30 yearlong back-story of the milieu up to the point where the actual story I’m writing starts. In thinking about all this I realised this is going to give me fertile ground for a whole slew of short stories and novels into the future. Yum!

My first thought after seeing the title of this was to say No didn't work on my novels.
But Oops, I've been working all week to get one novel ready to be E-published. Rewrote certain sections--all small subscenes--redid a few sentences-trying to get my MC to sound like her not me.
I wrote an acknowledgement, a forward, trying to get a title by Monday.
After checking three picture sites I decided to go ahead and have someone do one for me. I found him and am talking to him. Which is why I need to title by Monday, so he can start on the cover.
Time to put everything together like Smashwords likes it.
And if this one has even a few sells it would be time to start on the next one in the series.
