As for me.

Last Week's Goals:

MAGE STORM: Hold until after Book 2 of the DUAL MAGICS series is published.
Easy one. [Smile]

DAUGHTER OF THE DISGRACED KING (Formerly MAGIC AND POWER): On query hiatus until after the first of the year.
Also easy. [Smile]

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE: Decide when to start the pre-order for Book 2. Plan a promotion around that.
Yikes! Got so busy with the final revisions I forgot this one. [Frown]

THE VOICE OF PROPHECY (Formerly THE IGNORED PROPHECY): Decide on a date for the pre-order to start. Plan a promotion for it. Polish the blurb. And do the next (and hopefully last) round of revisions.
Revisions in progress. Date still nebulous. Blurb pretty much done. [Smile]

BEYOND THE PROPHECY (Briefly PATHS OF CHAOS): On hold for TIP revisions.
Another easy one. [Smile]

"Modgud Gold": Tie-in story to the DUAL MAGICS series. Begin revision.
Nope. [Frown]

DREAMER'S ROSE: Pause, for now.
Easy. [Smile]

WEIRD OZ: Let the new ideas ferment a bit.
Not much fermenting--at least consciously--going on right now. Most energy goes toward TIP.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.

Busy with "Learning CurveX2" . My MC is in the middle of a fight with toughs out to rob her--her new puppy has just crushed the ankle of one guy and now has hold of the wrist of another.

She is fighting the leader who has a special knife that can go through her shields and is very long and sharp.
