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.

BECOME: TO CATCH THE LIGHTNING/BECOME: TO RIDE THE STORM: Promote through social media. I now have two books on social media marketing. So . . . I need to schedule some time to read them.
Nope. [Frown]

MAGE STORM: Re-read the original version to try to get back into this, perhaps with a different slant.
No progress. [Frown]

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
Not this either. [Frown]

OK, my report is the novel finished in Chapter 46. Yeah, it surprised me too.

It is meant to be a surprise ending and when I read it later: yup, perfect surprise.

Yet it fits in perfectly with the rest of the novel, is quite credible and I am able to explain it easily to the reader in the last paragraph without jumping out of point of view.

I'm quite pleased with it. When I have enough internet time, I will put it in the cloud (it's in pen and pencil notebooks) and re-edit it for submission. P
