As for me.

Last Week's Goals:

MAGE STORM: Hold until after I have a draft of Book 3 of the Dual Magics series.
Easy one. [Smile]

DAUGHTER OF THE DISGRACED KING (Formerly MAGIC AND POWER): On query hiatus until the middle of January, so as not to be lost in the crowd.
Still easy. [Smile]

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE: As Book 1 of the series, this will be part of whatever promotion I come up with for THE VOICE OF PROPHECY.
Nothing yet.

THE VOICE OF PROPHECY (Formerly THE IGNORED PROPHECY): Figure out some promotions for after the first of the year, no earlier than about the 15th.
Nothing yet.

BEYOND THE PROPHECY (Briefly PATHS OF CHAOS): Build up momentum again on the first draft.
Working on it. [Smile]

"Modgud Gold": Tie-in story to the DUAL MAGICS series. Begin revision. I'd like to have this one ready to publish sometime in the Spring.
Well, I've begun [Wink]

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
Yes. [Smile]

I was just thinking of this thread yesterday. You must have posted while I thought. [Smile]


Anyway, been working on adding to my NaNo novel--known as "Learning CurveX2". At the moment I went over chapter one and am adding to a fight between my MC and a ghoul couple. Figured she needed to get hurt more than I originally wrote in. One injury will be continually re-hurt throughout the novel.

I also worked some on my steampunk Sp Ops tales. At around 55,000 words I and calling it a novel even though it's five stories about the same guy. I have ran the stories through a free grammar checker I found and I have written the forward. All except the cover I could be ready to Indie publish it in a week. I still need a blurb but I can do that and get the whole manuscript ready if I tried. But that cover is going to hold it back, so I will be taking my time doing the rest of the work while I work on other stuff.
