As for me.

Last Week's Goals:

MAGE STORM: Hold until after I have a draft of Book 3 of the Dual Magics series.
Easy one, but it's time is approaching. [Smile]

DAUGHTER OF THE DISGRACED KING: Probably nothing more this week.
Actually, I've started the read-through to make sure it's ready to go. [Smile]

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE/THE VOICE OF PROPHECY: Nothing this week.
Nothing is always easy. [Smile]

BEYOND THE PROPHECY: Chapters 45, 46, 47. If I stay on schedule, I might be able to finish this draft in a couple of weeks.
Eh, not quite. I'm in the middle of Chapter 47, but I really don't think I'm going to finish it tonight. [Frown]

"Modgud Gold": Tie-in story to the DUAL MAGICS series. Wait until after I finish the first draft of BEYOND THE PROPHECY.
Another easy one. But this one's time is coming, too. [Smile]

FIRE AND EARTH/THE BARD'S GIFT: Totally unrelated stories, but they'll both be part of Clean Indie Reads March Madness Sale next week. I need to do a little prep work for that. Soon.
The sale is under way. In fact, it ends tomorrow. I've seen a little bump in sales. On the other hand, this cost me nothing, so anything is a win. [Smile]

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

Next Week's Goals:

MAGE STORM:
Hold until after I have a draft of Book 3 of the Dual Magics series.

DAUGHTER OF THE DISGRACED KING (Formerly MAGIC AND POWER):
Continue the read-through. There's one minor change I may make later in the story.

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE/THE VOICE OF PROPHECY:
Nothing this week.

BEYOND THE PROPHECY:
Finish the first draft. There are only about three and a half chapters to go.

"Modgud Gold":
Tie-in story to the DUAL MAGICS series. Wait until after I finish the first draft of BEYOND THE PROPHECY.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.

Well, I missed last week's update. I'd only written around 4 pages, then dove headfirst into my WotF entry again.

Same this week.

And I'm on vacation from 3/30 to 4/3.

Why is it so difficult to write just one page a day?
