For myself, I had a pretty good week.

This Week's Goals:

DREAMER'S ROSE: Continue to let this one rest.
I love the easy goals.

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE: Work on this query.
Well, I've changed two sentences so far. I guess that counts.

THE IGNORED PROPHECY: Get this one printed out and into the hands of a reader by Thanksgiving.
I did.

BLOOD WILL TELL: Get through the second revision and give this one to my reader, too.
I did this, too.

SEVEN STARS: No specific goals for this one.
Another easy goal.

OTHER: I still need to work on revisions to my two short stories, Dragons Are Forever and The Seeker, so I can get them out there.
Nope, I didn't touch this.

Next Week's Goals:

DREAMER'S ROSE:
Continue to let this one rest.

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE:
Work on this query. I'd really like to start sending this back out before the first of the year.

THE IGNORED PROPHECY:
Wait for feedback.

BLOOD WILL TELL:
Wait for feedback. Think a little about a possible sequel. I love these characters.

SEVEN STARS:
No specific goals for this one. This is my playground right now. I didn't do much with this last week. Time to get back in the sandbox.

OTHER:
Same as last week. I still need to work on revisions to my two short stories, Dragons Are Forever and The Seeker, so I can get them out there.

==============

Now that people are finishing up NaNo, BLOOD WILL TELL is ready for a chapter exchange if anyone is interested. This one involves a half-werewolf (who is a vegetarian at the new moon), a dragon in disguise, and a serial killer.

I am just about done with my grammar review for Bellian. (mostly just running spellcheck and grammar check in MS Word.

Goals for this week:

1) Outline the rest of my NaNo novel then let it sit. There's going to have to be some major work done on this, editing and fixing up the beginning, before I figure out exactly how it ends.

2) Reassess where I am on all my other projects and try to come up with a plan of attack on the various novel pieces I have going.

3) Finish up & submit this quarter's WotF.

Meredith - my computer has to go in to the Computer Doctor this week, so I might not be around much for the next few days, but I'd be interested in starting up a chapter exchange.

I did not do any writing over the holidays but I did write some notes down for some ideas on my current book. It may not have been much, but I'm glad to have made even a little progress with my current busy schedule. Not much else to say, unfortunately.
