Relevant research

As for me:

Last Week's Goals:

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE/THE VOICE OF PROPHECY/BEYOND THE PROPHECY: Start assembling the boxed set.
No real progress on this other than a little research. [Frown]

WAR OF MAGIC: Complete first round of revisions following critiques.
Not quite. I'm at about 95%, though. Unfortunately, in this read-through I've found a significant issue in the third quarter of the book that's going to require another revision round to correct. [Frown]

BECOME: TO CATCH THE LIGHTNING: On hold for revisions to WAR OF MAGIC.
Easy one. [Smile]

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

Next Week's Goals:

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE/THE VOICE OF PROPHECY/BEYOND THE PROPHECY:
Start assembling the boxed set.

WAR OF MAGIC:
Complete first round of revisions following critiques and start on (hopefully finish) the new revision (see above) to the third quarter.

BECOME: TO CATCH THE LIGHTNING: On hold for revisions to WAR OF MAGIC.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.

Aww, that's no fun... [Frown] Better that you caught it than not, though. I hope the revisions go well!

I've been shelving my desire to write novels for the last month or so in favor of dealing with real life concerns, but the urge has quietly been hovering in the back of my brain. Now that things have finally quieted down, my goal for the next week or so is to put pen to paper (metaphorically speaking) and get the outline properly written out. I have some vague notes scratched on Google Docs, but they're more thoughts on themes and character options than anything coherent.
