As for me:
Last Week's Goals:
DUAL MAGICS SERIES (THE SHAMAN'S CURSE, THE VOICE OF PROPHECY, BEYOND THE PROPHECY,and WAR OF MAGIC): Plan promotions as soon as ACX approves the audio files for THE SHAMAN'S CURSE. It's LIVE!
Wide Distribution Project: Start preparing the files for FIRE AND EARTH, THE BARD'S GIFT, DAUGHTER OF THE DISGRACED KING, and the boxed set BY SWORD, TALE, OR MAGIC. There's no rush. I can't go wide with these until after July 17th. Yeah, a little. I have to get on this next week.
BECOME: BROTHERS: Promote on social media. Not really.
BECOME: TO CATCH THE LIGHTNING: Keep on writing. Yes!
MAGE STORM: Probably nothing this week. Good call.
DUAL MAGICS SERIES (THE SHAMAN'S CURSE, THE VOICE OF PROPHECY, BEYOND THE PROPHECY,and WAR OF MAGIC): Seriously plan promotions for the audio book. I need to follow-up on one group promotion. And plan something else, probably around the same time.
Wide Distribution Project: Prepare the files for FIRE AND EARTH, THE BARD'S GIFT, DAUGHTER OF THE DISGRACED KING, and the boxed set BY SWORD, TALE, OR MAGIC. There's no rush.

Last week I didn't do much but still I could have added something for that week.
I worked just a little bit on Journey. That's it for novels. Of course one story I did work on might end up being a novel, or novella, or novelette. I don't know how far it will go.
Next week I need to work on Journey more and that one unknown one.

The cloud of doubt parts -- somewhat. The design is a cloud edge out of scratch reach so far, though in sight. This is dramatic, vivid, lively portrayals of sensory stimuli. Known, knowable, uncommon method, though a hard challenge to concisely describe and attach dramatic criteria -- or the other way around, really: dramatic criteria with attendant concise, dramatic, vivid, lively sensory stimuli descriptions.
Curious, though, that leisure attention lavished on the literal stimuli expands word count from the otherwise run-of-the-mill summary and explanation "tell" type and, however, can foster focus and word-count economy.
"The Edges of Ideas" principle, per "Being a Glossary of Terms Useful in Critiquing Science Fiction," lends guidance to this endeavor, not about a literal circumstance itself, instead, about a circumstance's focal effects on people: dramatically, vividly (and other sensations), lively, concisely, emotionally, transformatively.
