  • World Building
  • Relevant research

Last Week's Goals

I had some more programming come up this week that sapped my energy. The nights are not as late as they have been but it has still taxed me mentally so I have little energy when I get home. I'm hoping things will settle down soon.

My goals for next week:

  • Get familiar with current writing project
  • Catch up on Hatrack

I still want to at least go over my outline and get familiar with where I left off.

What did I learn this week?

Nothing learned regarding writing yet. Hopefully soon.

--William

Last Week's Goals:

DREAMER'S ROSE: Work on the revisions.
Yes.

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE: Let it rest before trying to cut some more.
Easy goal.

THE IGNORED PROPHECY: Catch up on the reveisions and make new ones as the critiques come back.
Just about caught up.

BLOOD WILL TELL: Send out two more queries.
Not yet.

SEVEN STARS: Let it rest. Keep making notes as things occur to me.
Another easy goal.

OTHER:
Update my blog and try to keep it updated twice a week.
Maybe start a new short story.
Yes to both.

Next Week's Goals:

DREAMER'S ROSE:
Finish up the first revision. Prepare to work on chapter exchange revisions.

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE:
Let it rest before trying to cut some more.

THE IGNORED PROPHECY:
I've got a chapter exchange going on this one. Catch up on the reveisions and make new ones as the critiques come back. Get ready to make extensive revisions on the beginning.

BLOOD WILL TELL:
Send out two more queries.

SEVEN STARS:
Let it rest. Keep making notes as things occur to me.

OTHER:
Update my blog and try to keep it updated twice a week.
Work on that short story start that came to me yesterday.

=======
DREAMER'S ROSE is ready for a chapter exchange or two if anyone is interested. Fantasy, 91,000 words, about a man who succeeds at everything until he finally succeeds in becoming a god--and finds nothing has prepared him for that or for his failures.

Update:

I finished the first revision to Dreamer's Rose this morning! There were times I thought it would never get this far.

Well, I've been pretty much useless all week. You would think being stuck on crutches would improve my butt-in-chair skills, but no. It just seems to make everything OUT of the chair take twice as long. ::sighs::

Goals for next week:
1) Write up article reviews for students
2) Outline more and devise my POA on Mudlarks
3) Revise WotF entry

I'm back on Hatrack for a while. Last week, I wrote about 400 words for DeCo over three days and dreamstormed whenever I could. Next week's goals are to write for the novel every day and either complete the two trouble scenes I worked on last week or cut them out.

I did better this week, but didn't quite make my goals.

Next week: write an hour every day and finish at least one chapter.

Oh, and way to go Meredith.
