As for me.

Last Week's Goals:

FIRE AND EARTH (formerly known as SEVEN STARS): Think of something new for promotion.
Eh. No. [Frown]

BLOOD IS THICKER: Prepare for a blog tour in November. Write the guest blog posts.
Guest blogs done. Preparation done. [Big Grin]

THE BARD'S GIFT: Wait. I don't expect to hear before early Decemberish.
Easy one. [Smile]

MAGE STORM: Send out three queries.
Yes. And a new request for partial. [Smile]

MAGIC AND POWER: Work through the crits I've gotten back.
Working on it, but slowly. [Smile]

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE: Work through five chapters (that'll be Chapters 6 thru 10) for structural issues.
Hmm. Well, I didn't make that goal. [Frown]

WEIRD OZ STORY: Continue reading L. Frank Baum's Oz stories for inspiration. Try out some different options for the voice.
Reading, yes. Rewrites, not yet. [Frown]

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

Next Week's Goals:

BLOOD IS THICKER:
Nothing more on this until the 18th.

THE BARD'S GIFT:
Wait. I don't expect to hear before early Decemberish.

MAGE STORM:
Send out three queries.

MAGIC AND POWER:
Work through the crits I've gotten back.

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE:
Work through five chapters (that'll be Chapters 6 thru 10) for structural issues.

WEIRD OZ STORY:
Continue reading L. Frank Baum's Oz stories for inspiration. Try out some different options for the voice.

DREAMER'S ROSE: I pulled this one out of the pile. The words started flowing and I could see where the plot needed to change. I'm liking it and I'm going to ride this rollercoaster for a while. (Other goals may slide if the words keep flowing.)

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.

I actually worked on my novel! Thank you NaNoWriMo!
With any luck, I'll finish it by the end of this month.

Meredith, you are always so motivated and on top of your writing. It's really inspiring to your fellow aspiring novelists. Just wanted to say thanks!
