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. Maybe I'll get to this after I finish the first draft of BECOME: TO RIDE THE STORM.
Well, I haven't quite finished that first draft yet, so . . . nope. [Frown]

BECOME: TO CATCH THE LIGHTNING: Promote through social media.
Some. [Smile]

BECOME: TO RIDE THE STORM: Move forward with the first draft. Try to get about two more chapters down. The goal is to finish this first draft by the end of July. Starting this week I'm on Chapter 47, 94,900 words in. It looks like probably 53 chapters in all for this one.
Yes! It actually looks like it'll be 57 chapters and I'm on Chapter 56. [Big Grin]

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

Next 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. Maybe I'll get to this after I finish the first draft of BECOME: TO RIDE THE STORM. Might even get to this.

BECOME: TO CATCH THE LIGHTNING:
Promote through social media.

BECOME: TO RIDE THE STORM:
Move forward with the first draft. Try to get about two more chapters down. The goal is to finish this first draft by the end of July. Starting this week I'm on Chapter 56, 101,600 words in. It looks like probably 57 chapters in all for this one. I think the odds are good that I'll finish it this week.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.

Eureka! The correlative objectives realized! Not overtly about the fortress courthouse's security, about separation of the have and have nots, have jobs and the jobless. And immediate crisis interactions that are fresh, vivid, lively, and vital, tangible and contentious complications. Plus, that the subtext and tangibles also set up for transitions and later context and texture developments: foreshadows. Subtext, tangible correlative objective, and foreshadow. And reader accessible. Sublime!
