As for me.

Last Week's Goals:

FIRE AND EARTH (formerly known as SEVEN STARS): Contact a few more potential reviewers.
Not so much. [Frown]

BLOOD IS THICKER: Set up a blog tour for November.
Made good progress on this. [Smile]

THE BARD'S GIFT: Wait.
Easy one. [Smile]

MAGE STORM: Send out three queries.
No. I spent the time (and more) on the blog tour thing above. [Frown]

MAGIC AND POWER: Try to find another beta reader or two.
Yes, I think so. [Smile]

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE: Think about how to fix some of those structural issues.
Not much. [Frown]

WEIRD OZ STORY: Build momentum. Let's say four more chapters. That'll be through chapter 6.
Well, I'm building momentum, but not that fast. Only half-way through chapter 4. [Frown]

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
Yes. [Smile]

Wrote about 15,000 words on my Sunstone novel.

Afraid still nothing on any novel.

Well, some ideas but no actual writing or revising.

Hopefully I can get back into it next week.

Well(again). I am still trying to figure out how to do a video for Kickstarter to see about paying for a pro copy edit and a cover for Indie publishing one novel. I can make a video but I want something more than just my talking head.

Scaffolding is popping up for the scenes.
