As for me:

Last Week's Goals:

DUAL MAGICS SERIES (THE SHAMAN'S CURSE, THE VOICE OF PROPHECY, BEYOND THE PROPHECY,and WAR OF MAGIC): Complete at least the next step to set up a mailing list and start preparing first newsletter.
Nope. [Frown]

DUAL MAGICS SERIES: As time permits, go through the x-ray listings for the Dual Magics boxed set and THE BARD'S GIFT.
Lol. Nope. [Frown]

BECOME: TO CATCH THE LIGHTNING: Keep on writing.
Yes! [Big Grin]

Wide Distribution Project (redux): Prepare a schedule and to-do list for removing books from Pronoun (which has announced that it's shutting down), change the back matter again, and republish through Draft2Digital. I can't actually start moving the books until after a couple of promotions have run.
Not really. [Frown]

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

At the keyboard, the tedium of invention is no less broken despite enthusiasm from inspiration. Tel est la vie. Realized years back the study journey expands horizons far beyond the imperatives of the moment -- realized this past weekend, while reading William Gibson (Neuromancer and such), the real study purpose post beyond the infinite horizon is about discovery of my unique native aesthetic among the fray and how it aligns with my recently realized true life calling. Let the winnowed chaff fly past the bittersweet grain.
