As for me.

Last Week's Goals:

THE BARD'S GIFT: Wait. I don't expect to hear before early Decemberish.
Getting a very bad case of pins and needles now.

MAGE STORM: I don't think I'll query again until after the first of the year.
Yeah, easy one.

MAGIC AND POWER: Start on the revisions.
Not yet.

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE: Work through five chapters (that'll be thru Chapter 23) for structural issues.
Nope. But I've at least started.

WEIRD OZ STORY: Continue reading L. Frank Baum's Oz stories for inspiration.
Ongoing.

DREAMER'S ROSE: Continue reworking the original beginning.
This is what has taken up most of what writing time I've had. Decent progress, all things considered.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
Yes.

Hi! I'm new here and I'd like to join the Novels Support Group. I have begun to draft a novel and suddenly I got stuck; I was thinking maybe joining this group would help. I'm impressed; you already worked on several drafts already.

Anyway, please tell me more about this group.

I wish I had some energy. I haven't put up a Christmas tree (first time in sixty-four years!) or added a single word to my novel in December!

I mail presents off to our kids in NYC and Virginia weeks ago.

Now I just watch videos. It's a blue Christmas this year for some reason. Next year WILL be better. I'll MAKE it better.
