As for me.
Last Week's Goals:
MAGE STORM: Hold until after I have a draft of Book 3 of the Dual Magics series. Easy one.
DAUGHTER OF THE DISGRACED KING (Formerly MAGIC AND POWER): On query hiatus until after the first of the year. Also an easy one.
THE SHAMAN'S CURSE: As Book 1 of the series, this will be part of whatever promotion I come up with for THE VOICE OF PROPHECY. Nothing planned yet. Both are doing well right now. I'll need to be prepared with something when sales start to drop, though.
THE VOICE OF PROPHECY (Formerly THE IGNORED PROPHECY): Figure out some promotions for after the first of the year, no earlier than about the 15th. See above.
BEYOND THE PROPHECY (Briefly PATHS OF CHAOS): Build up momentum again on the first draft. Restart after Christmas "break".
"Modgud Gold": Tie-in story to the DUAL MAGICS series. Begin revision. I'd like to have this one ready to publish sometime in the Spring. Nothing yet.
OTHER: Update my blog twice a week. Nope. I missed Christmas Eve.
Next Week's Goals:
MAGE STORM: Hold until after I have a draft of Book 3 of the Dual Magics series.
DAUGHTER OF THE DISGRACED KING (Formerly MAGIC AND POWER): On query hiatus until the middle of January, so as not to be lost in the crowd.
THE SHAMAN'S CURSE: As Book 1 of the series, this will be part of whatever promotion I come up with for THE VOICE OF PROPHECY.
THE VOICE OF PROPHECY (Formerly THE IGNORED PROPHECY): Figure out some promotions for after the first of the year, no earlier than about the 15th.
BEYOND THE PROPHECY (Briefly PATHS OF CHAOS): Build up momentum again on the first draft.
"Modgud Gold": Tie-in story to the DUAL MAGICS series. Begin revision. I'd like to have this one ready to publish sometime in the Spring.
I am going over my NaNo novel, adding bulk and making it longer and even better. I think I will be able to add around 20,000 to 25,000 words which makes it 75,000 to 80,000. Still a bit short but not by too much. I have worked on ch 2 thinking I didn't need to do much to One but today I went back to one. Yeah it could use some work. Not a lot but still some. Two is very long now and will be greatly longer when I am done with it. I will probably split it into two chapters.
And I almost have a steampunk novel ready to Indie publish. I call it a novel since its somewhere around 56,000 to 63,000 words--I forget for sure at the moment--but it's made up of five stories. One is from 26,000 to 28,000 words. Two are over 10,000, one is about eight and a half thousand and one is just under ten thousand.
Anyway I just need a cover and a forward, then put them all together. Tonight I worked on the forward and am about half way done.
I think depending on the cover, I will have it published by mid Jan.
If you like steampunk and/or Special Ops and/or war with some emotional stuff thrown in think of this one.
Oh yes I also need a title. I have two I could use but I want a more unique, better, shorter one. A title that can roll off the tongue easy.
