As for me:

Last Week's Goals:

FIRE AND EARTH (formerly known as SEVEN STARS): Wait to hear back on the request coming off of Pitch Wars. Consider what to do next if (as expected) the answer is no.
Easy goal. [Smile]

BLOOD WILL TELL: Figure out how I want to proceed on a couple of ideas coming out of IndieReCon.
Some. [Smile]

BLOOD IS THICKER: Let it cool before going back for the next round.
Another easy one. [Smile]

THE BARD'S GIFT: Finish the final revision pass. Start polishing edit. Try to come up with a map. The goal is to have it ready to start querying early next month.
Yep. I've even sent three queries, already. I'm back in the game! Wahoo! [Big Grin]

MAGE STORM: Wait for feedback.
Continuing.

MAGIC'S FOOL: On hold.
Off hold, but not on the front burner. [Smile]

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week. [/qb][/QUOTE]Next Week's Goals:

FIRE AND EARTH (formerly known as SEVEN STARS):
Wait to hear back on the request coming off of Pitch Wars. Start thinking about cover art. If the answer is no again, I'm going to epbub.

BLOOD WILL TELL:
Figure out how I want to proceed on a couple of ideas coming out of IndieReCon.
I'm going to test out a couple of things in the next week or two.

BLOOD IS THICKER:
Let it cool before going back for the next round. This one may get to participate in the marketing goal for its sister (BLOOD WILL TELL) above.

THE BARD'S GIFT:
One final read-through. Send out three queries.

MAGE STORM:
Wait for feedback.

MAGIC'S FOOL:
Edit the handful of chapters I've done. The character voice is too young.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
"Magic and Power", probably a novella that I just started.

Not quite done on Moonstone. Now at 72,000 words and should finish this week

Prepared a couple of chapters of the Brull novel for critique.

Need to get started on grammar rewrite for Daughter Disinherited.

Working steadily on "Iceborn," and at about 130k, and growing. Still haven't gotten to the halfway point on my outline, but I'm seeing room for trimming the outline now.
