Yes. [Smile]

BLOOD WILL TELL: Read some more about marketing.

THE BARD'S GIFT: Let it rest.
Easy one. [Smile]

MAGE STORM: Get some reader feedback.
In process and proving very helpful. [Smile]

Next Week's Goals:

Five chapters would be through Chapter 9.

Let it rest.

Get some reader feedback.

Next Week's Goal:
JOURNEY (Working Title)
Finish Chapter 3 and write Chapter 4.

WHEN CHAOS REIGNS (NaNo Entry)
Create a basic outline.

HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE
Write first draft.

OTHER
Summarize two new stories that are floating around in my head.

Grrr, I was sick last week so I opted to sleep instead of write. Seemed like a good plan at the time, but now I'm regretting it. Anyway, here we go again:

This weeks goals: Finish the first revision and make a detailed list of what needs to be done for the second go-round. Start on that list. Start thinking about at least a working title.
