I met and exceeded my goals. I finished revising all of Aydin's scenes and started in on Vedran's (the last major POV character). I've also been steadily chipping away at my word count, and it dropped below 117k this week. (New goal: forget 120k, I'm aiming for 115k).

My overall goal now is to finish revising by the end of October. So for next week, I want to revise at least 5 scenes.

Wow. I totally forgot, sorry. I launched a new project at work on Thursday and my wife and I took the day off on Friday to get a way. In any case, pretty much the same old story for me though. Still reading for fun, but I have been doing a little (very little) outlining on one of my novels. So, I guess I could say I did some writing this week. Sort of.

Yep, I worked on New Mage a bit and I was able to work on Angel Kin a bit more.

With Angel Kin my MC has just come across a demon that escaped it's prison, someone was holding it in. She will have to fight the demon. Even though she knows about them, she has never seen one much less fought a demon. It's good the demon isn't the most powerful.


Still having problems finishing New Mage mostly because I don't get to it. But I skipped a two or three nights of work on it when I had I had to decide on what idea to use in a certain scene. I decided on my original idea.


But a discussion on another thread made me want to work on my Mage PI novel. I started it more just for something to do but I want a story with that type of hero.
