Last Week's Goals

I didn't do anything this week either. I was busy at work getting things wrapped up for the time I would be away.

My goals for next week:

• Short Story

I'm in Phoenix right now (hot) and I hope to have some time to write while out of time. I hope anyway.

What did I learn this week?

Not much this week.

DREAMER'S ROSE: Nothing for this month.
Easy goal.

MAGE STORM: Revise the query letter. Send the ms. to that interested agent ( ) and start querying again.
Sort of. I've done a little to the query letter and I intend to send the ms this morning.

SEVEN STARS: Get back to work on the second draft through chapter 18.
Yep.

BLOOD WILL TELL: Continue the chapter exchange(s) and make revisions.
Yes, and almost done, too.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
Try to get a little work done on my WotF entry for Quarter 3.
Yes to the first, no to the second. There are only so many hours in a day, no matter what I do.

Next Week's Goals:

On the Shelf:
THE SHAMAN'S CURSE
THE IGNORED PROPHECY

Keep jotting down ideas of how these two might be changed.

DREAMER'S ROSE:
Nothing for this month.

MAGE STORM:
Revise the query letter and start querying again.

SEVEN STARS:
Second draft through chapter 24.

BLOOD WILL TELL:
Complete the chapter exchange and make revisions.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
Try to get a little work done on my WotF entry for Quarter 3. Maybe even an entry for the challenge here (if I figure out how to get a few more hours int the day.)

• What were your goals last week and did you accomplish them?
o I had hoped to write another five thousand on my fantasy novel but got side tracked by a short story that took up all my time.

• Describe what you worked on.
o “It’s in the numbers”, a short SF story about a twelve year old boy with some unique powers.
o I also sent two short stories off, which is something I’ve never done. I await my first rejection letters.

• Set goals for next week.
o Get back to my fantasy novel and finish two chapters I have started.
o Also work on another short that popped into my head for the challenge “Little Miss”.

THE NULL PROPHET: Continue exchanges. Bring out of hibernation.
Yes. I started going back through my exchange feedback and making the easier changes, and a list of bigger problems to tackle. I made a summary/scene list to help me organize structural changes, and worked on my query.

MINDWALKER: Hit the 50,000 word mark
Yes.

Next Week:

THE NULL PROPHET: Continue exchanges (and finish one of them ). Work through scene list & mark it up with changes I want to make, and work on query.

New Arbor Day: Getting some serious revision work in, up to 79 pages. Much more pleased with it now, especially as I'm seeing a lot of plot holes eliminated. Why did this person walk when they could drive? Etc...

Next Week: Same for Evangeline, and pass 150 pages on New Arbor Day...yes I know that means writing more next week than I failed to write this week. But it's getting quicker. Less to trim.

I haven't done much work on the second revision of Bright Lights.

Did some work on New Mage. I think I may go with another chapter. I thought the next one would be it but I think something else has to happen even though I'm not sure what. Something to do with the relationship with her friends and probably some type of danger scene. I haven't had one for a chapter.

Oh yes, I keep forgetting. Goals for this week are to work on New Mage, maybe finish the new second to the last chapter and to work more on that second revision.
Along with crits and posts and E-mails and such.
