As for me.

Last Week's Goals:

FIRE AND EARTH (formerly known as SEVEN STARS): Nothing for now.
Well, I did contact a couple more potential reviewers. So, something.

BLOOD IS THICKER: Contact 6 potential reviewers.
Nope. I've decided on a change of course for this one. I'm going with a blog tour, instead. More information when things are settled.

THE BARD'S GIFT: Rethink.
Submitted to a smaller press. We'll see.

MAGE STORM: Send out three queries.
Yes.

MAGIC AND POWER: Send it out to beta readers.
Only one so far. I may have to branch out.

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE: Run through some of the notes I made during the first draft.
I did a read-through. There are some structural issues that I'll need to think about.

WEIRD OZ STORY: Time to get serious about writing this one.
Well, I've gotten to chapter 3. That's not exactly burning rubber, but it's a start.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
Yes.

Next Week's Goals:

FIRE AND EARTH (formerly known as SEVEN STARS):
Contact a few more potential reviewers.

BLOOD IS THICKER:
Set up a blog tour for November.

THE BARD'S GIFT:
Wait.

MAGE STORM:
Send out three queries.

MAGIC AND POWER:
Try to find another beta reader or two. Any takers here? It's a YA fantasy romance.

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE:
Think about how to fix some of those structural issues.

WEIRD OZ STORY:
Build momentum. Let's say four more chapters. That'll be through chapter 6.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
