As for me.

Last Week's Goals:

MAGE STORM: Think about what to do with this.
Nothing this week.

MAGIC AND POWER: Send out three more queries.
Yes.

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE: Do some promotion to try to keep this going well.
An ad in Fussy Librarian, coupled with a one-day price drop. Seems to have helped.

THE IGNORED PROPHECY: Wait for beta readers.
The wait has just begun.

BEYOND THE PROPHECY (Formerly PATHS OF CHAOS):
Book 3 of the series that starts with THE SHAMAN'S CURSE and continues in THE IGNORED PROPHECY. Start first draft.
Started, but I need to go back and write a new first chapter before I go on to Chapter 4. Started in the wrong place.

DREAMER'S ROSE: Pause, for now.
Easy one. Though I have had a couple of ideas.

WEIRD OZ: Let the new ideas ferment a bit.
Still fermenting.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
Yes.

Next Week's Goals:

MAGE STORM:
Think about submitting this to a small publisher. But I may want to rewrite it with a slightly older protagonist first. I won't have an opening to do that for a couple of months.

MAGIC AND POWER:
Send out three more queries.

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE:
Watch and see how sales go without help for this week.

THE IGNORED PROPHECY:
Wait for beta readers.

BEYOND THE PROPHECY (Briefly PATHS OF CHAOS):
Book 3 of the series that starts with THE SHAMAN'S CURSE and continues in THE IGNORED PROPHECY. Start first draft.

DREAMER'S ROSE:
Pause, for now.

WEIRD OZ:
Let the new ideas ferment a bit.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
