As for me.
Last Week's Goals:
THE BARD'S GIFT: Continue working through some of the things I learned at IndieReCon. Not much, this week.
MAGE STORM: Send out three queries. Yes.
MAGIC AND POWER: Wait for feedback from a couple of readers. Waiting.
THE SHAMAN'S CURSE: Wait for responses from beta readers. Also waiting.
WEIRD OZ STORY: Get back to reading L. Frank Baum's Oz stories for inspiration. Hmm. Not yet.
DREAMER'S ROSE: Go over the portion of the rewrite I'd already done. Move on. Still a chapter or two to go before I get to the new stuff.
THE IGNORED PROPHECY: Occasional work on the rewrite. Nothing occasional about it. This is what I've been spending most of my time on.

I won't make my 50,000 word goal. I had intended to write during my two three-hour flights, but a Canadair Regional Jet does not have seating congenial to touch typing. I reached 41,000 (that's about 10,000 last week). More words to write next week. I'll get past 50,000 this week.
I wasn't helped by the fact I slogged through Words of Radiance, the latest Brandon Sanderson tome... 1060 pages. The style of the book did have application to my current WIP, so I consider it research.
