Last Week's Goals

Still reading. It's been a LONG time since I just sat and read as much as I have now. The last book I read (600+ pages long) only took me a week and a half to read. Some may think that's slow but with everything I normally have in life such a book can take me a month or more to finish. Having too much fun.

My goals for next week:

• Read

Continue reading. Maybe look at some outlines. Maybe.

What did I learn this week?

Still nothing.

But if I'm to succeed in November, I have to get outlining...

I'm just so sick of sitting in this chair from work, I have nothing left to write with. Need to switch my perception.

MAGIC'S FOOL (Working Title): Finish Chapter 4. At least start Chapter 5.
Yep. Finished Chapter 5, as a matter of fact.

MAGE STORM: Start making some revisions to chapters 2 and 3. Really.
Barely.

SEVEN STARS: Incorporate critiques, make a couple of other changes, and then shut it down for a few months.
Yes.

BLOOD WILL TELL: Send out two more queries.
Nope. In fact, I've decided not to keep querying this one. I'm going to wait to hear from the agent who currently has a full ms. If the answer is no again, then I'm going to e-pub it and move on. I've already started playing around with a possible cover.

BLOOD IS THICKER: Write Chapters 6 and 7.
Chapter 6, yes, just started Chapter 7.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
Yes, again. Although I almost forgot to blog on Wednesday.

Next Week's Goals:

On the Shelf:
THE IGNORED PROPHECY
DREAMER'S ROSE

MAGIC'S FOOL (Working Title):
Chapter 6.

MAGE STORM:
Revisions to chapters 2 and 3. Really.

SEVEN STARS:
Let it rest.

BLOOD WILL TELL:
More playing with the cover art. Possibly start another polishing edit.

BLOOD IS THICKER:
Write Chapters 7 and 8.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.

Next week, the scenes get shorter, so my goal is to revise 7.
