As for me:

Last Week's Goals:

MAGIC'S FOOL (Working Title): Finish chapter 3 and 4.
Nope.

MAGE STORM: Go over the revision critiques and decide to either start sending queries out again or take another whack at it.
Not quite yet.

SEVEN STARS: Get another reader or two for this draft.
Sort of, through the Actions Scene Critique Group.

BLOOD WILL TELL: Research more agents for this one. Send out two more queries.
Yes.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
Read through and send the WotF story.
Yes to both.

Next Week's Goals:

On the Shelf:
THE IGNORED PROPHECY
DREAMER'S ROSE

MAGIC'S FOOL (Working Title):
I'm going to have to go more slowly than I like on this one. Finish Chapter 3.

MAGE STORM:
Go over the revision critiques and decide to either start sending queries out again or take another whack at it.

SEVEN STARS:
Incorporate the critiques I've received.

BLOOD WILL TELL:
Research more agents for this one. Send out two more queries.

BLOOD IS THICKER:
This is a new one, sequel to BLOOD WILL TELL. Check out the first 13 in the NSG Work In Progress thread.
I'm on Chapter 3 and I want to get some work in on MAGIC'S FOOL, too, so let's say through Chapter 5 as a goal.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.

I'm sooooo busy at work lately that I barely have time to drop and say thanks for posting and I'm still alive. Still reading, still thinking a bit on some writing.

Later (thanks again).

I'm nearly done with all the short stories and crits, so I can feel my novel creeping in from the background to the foreground.

About time I just finish that thing. Been close to the end for over a year now.

Yes, worked on New Mage. (Yea) Finished chapter eight even though I'm still not sure if her emotional introspection is quite what I want. Or if was done even half way well.

Chapter nine will be her final battle with the bad guy, but it's possible that it will take two chapters. The "two" chapter will be probably be short. I have been waiting six months or so to type a certain line but when I get to it, the scene doesn't quite come out the way I wanted it to. So I may redo it slightly or just go with that line anyway.

Did some work on Angel Kin, still not sure what happens in this chapter though. I came up with one idea but I may have to move something I said earlier but that's okay. I think it will work better in a later chapter anyway.
