Welcome to this week's Novel Support Group. Anyone can join. If you're new, tell us a bit about who you are and what project you are working on. Feel free to update the NSG Work in Progress thread with your current projects. Although we can report on any number of things, here is a list of suggestions (suggestions welcomed).


What were your goals last week and did you accomplish them?
Describe what you worked on.
Set goals for next week.
Did you learn something during this week?

Here is a list of things that you can do each week as we work on our novels (suggestions welcomed).


Writing on a novel
Characterization
World Building
Relevant research

As for me:

Last Week's Goals:

DUAL MAGICS SERIES: As time permits, go through the x-ray listings for the Dual Magics boxed set and THE BARD'S GIFT. This is here to remind me that eventually I need to get back to this.
[Razz]

BECOME: TO CATCH THE LIGHTNING: Promote through social media. I really need to find a way to become more effective at this. I really have to get back to that marketing book.
Some. [Smile] Still need to finish that book. [Embarrassed]

BECOME: TO RIDE THE STORM: Revisions complete. I'm actually going to leave this alone for a week or so before starting the polishing edit. There's no rush since I'm not planning to publish until after Christmas anyway. And I want to do a little more research on different launch strategies.
Easy one, though I'm laggard on the research--again. [Frown]

MAGE STORM: Hold for revisions to BECOME: TO RIDE THE STORM. And try to resist the bright new shiny idea that came to me last night. Or not. Well, it's not a new idea, more like a story puzzle that didn't have all the pieces yet. Now, I think it does.
The 'hold for revisions' part is easy. Resisting the bright shiny new idea (now titles Meadowsweet--always a bad sign when it gets a title) is not. I'll probably start working on both when I finish the polishing edit on BECOME: TO RIDE THE STORM. [Eek!]

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

List of published books just to remind me of all the things I should be paying at least some attention to:

Got "it"! Now realize the challenges before me are most difficult. The hardest way is the easiest.
