As for me:

Last Week's Goals:

MAGIC'S FOOL: Let it rest until January. Then I can start the second draft.
Easy goal.

MAGE STORM: Let it rest. Wait for feedback.
Hmm. Getting harder.

SEVEN STARS: Let it rest.
Another easy goal.

BLOOD WILL TELL: Wait to hear from the agent who has the full ms. Solidify plans for what to do if the answer is no.
Definitely getting harder.

BLOOD IS THICKER: Finish. I'm so close.
Hm. Not quite. Another two chapters to go. The last two fought me and I think they won. Well, that's what second drafts are for.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
Yes.

Next Week's Goals:

On the Shelf:
THE IGNORED PROPHECY
DREAMER'S ROSE

MAGIC'S FOOL:
Let it rest until January. Then I can start the second draft.

MAGE STORM:
Let it rest. Wait for feedback.

SEVEN STARS:
Let it rest.

BLOOD WILL TELL:
Wait to hear from the agent who has the full ms. Solidify plans for what to do if the answer is no. I plan to query the agent after the first of the year.

BLOOD IS THICKER:
Finish. I'm so close.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.

Last week: I did about as well as I expected. I hit 1k on three days, and somewhat less on three more, for a total of 5k.

This week: I already skipped writing on Christmas, and my birthday's this week too, so my goal is pretty unimpressive. I want to write at least 500 words, on at least 4 days. Oh, and I'm probably going to be reading a whole lot

I wrote on and today finished New mage. Finally. Wrapped up all the details and wrote the ending I have had in my mind for six months or more. Not sure if one little section is as long as it could-should be but we shall see when I revise it. My hero survived and she got something out of it too.

I wrote on and didn't finish Breaking Out. I can concentrate on that one more now. Well, unless I decide to work on rewriting chapters two and three of New Mage.

I don't think I did any work on Angel Kin since my last report. There might have been one short day of work.
