Last Week's Goals

I did not write any scenes last week. I didn't even think about it this time. That's fine because I have been working on my outline. Currently I have one major plot and three subplots that I'm outlining. I have the main one filled out fairly well as well as one of the subplots.

The next two subplots will be a little more difficult since they are newer. In addition, I think I may want to add a new character to help with a new ending that I want. I will need to add another subplot for that character, which ties up the new ending. I like this new setup better than what I had before.

My goals for next week:

• Write scenes
• Outlining

This week I want to try to get one of the other subplots completed. Since they are newer I do not have as many ideas for them. I may need to spread each subplot across multiple weeks.

What did I learn this week?

Not much to say here this week.

DREAMER'S ROSE: Work on chapter exchange revisions as they come.
Yes.

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE: Let it rest before trying to cut some more.
Easy goal.

THE IGNORED PROPHECY: Continue chapter exchange for this in FPNA (Future Published Novelists Anonymous).
Yes.

BLOOD WILL TELL: Read through the whole thing and look for places to get deeper/smooth things out. Work on the synopsis for the synopsis challenge.
Yes to both.

MAGE STORM: Get back in the flow. Finish chapter 4.
Nope. I've really got to get my momentum back on this one.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
Work on the new short story.

Yes and no.

Next Week's Goals:

DREAMER'S ROSE:
Work on chapter exchange revisions as they come.

THE SHAMAN'S CURSE:
Let it rest before trying to cut some more.

THE IGNORED PROPHECY:
Continue chapter exchange for this in FPNA (Future Published Novelists Anonymous).

BLOOD WILL TELL:
I'll wait on this one to see what comes out of the Synopsis Challenge. Then, start querying again.

MAGE STORM:
Get back in the flow. Finish chapter 4. Since I'm in synopsis mode, last night I wrote a basic synopsis for this. Maybe that'll help get me started again.

OTHER:
Update my blog twice a week.
Work on the new short story. (Can I even keep calling it "new"?")
