Last Week's Goals

Another bad week, but I did better this week than previously. Progress anyway.

My goals for next week:

• Short Story

Still work on that short story.

What did I learn this week?

I think I'm learning that working in my new "office" in the basement is not working for me. Our weather has been colder than normal this spring and the basement is cold (not insulated yet). So, I think I need to find a better place to work. I don't necessarily want to go to the bookstore again, but that is an option.

DREAMER'S ROSE: Nothing for this month.
Such an easy goal.

MAGE STORM: Revise the query letter and start querying again.
Hmm. Revised the query letter, but haven't started sending it out.

SEVEN STARS: Second draft through chapter 24.
Nope. I got all the way through to THE END on the first pass.

BLOOD WILL TELL: Complete the chapter exchange and make revisions.
Completed the chapter exchange. Almost through the first round of 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.)
Yes to the first, No to the short stories. Maybe this week.

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:
Pick a query letter (I now have two, which you can see and comment on here .) and start querying again.

SEVEN STARS:
Start the second pass through.

BLOOD WILL TELL:
Make the first round of revisions (the easy ones) and make notes of things that would require deeper changes. Then let it simmer a bit before coming back for the final round of 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.)

THE NULL PROPHET: Continue exchanges (and finish one of them). Yes
Work through scene list & mark it up with changes I want to make. Yes Also started revising.
Work on query. A little.

MINDWALKER: Write some every day.
4/7 days. My focus is definitely on Null Prophet.

Next Week:

THE NULL PROPHET: Continue revisions & exchange.

I hardly did any writing in New Mage again, Not sure why. It might be that I'm not sure where to go with the chapter I just started. I want what I call a danger scene and some emotional conflict with her friends before she realizes why she is having that problem.

Still letting "Storm Born" sit for another week or so before revising.

Still working with the novel group with Bright Lights.

Goals...I have one this time. To start a new novel at work. I may do the one I worked on a few months ago. At that time I just wanted to get it going so I wouldn't forget some of the scenes I wanted in it. But I've come up with a couple of ideas so I may go for it now.
