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. Really. One step at a time, or a week, it seems.
Hmm. I think so? I'm kind of losing track, to tell the truth. [Embarrassed]

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

'Nuf said.

BECOME: TO CATCH THE LIGHTNING: Let it rest before beginning revisions.
Easy one. [Smile]

BECOME: TO RIDE THE STORM: Keep working. I urgently need to get a feel for how long this one is going to be as that could impact my publication schedule.
Well, yes. But I still don't have a good feel for the finished length. [Roll Eyes]

Wide Distribution Project (redux): Prepare back matter to include the newsletter link above.
Nope. No landing page, yet. [Frown]

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

Next 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. I'm going to try something different . . . I think.

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

BECOME: TO CATCH THE LIGHTNING:
Start the read-through.

BECOME: TO RIDE THE STORM:
Finish the current chapter and then set aside so I can start revisions on BECOME: TO CATCH THE LIGHTNING.

Wide Distribution Project (redux):
Prepare back matter to include the newsletter link above. And republish the Dual Magics series through Draft2Digital.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
