Monday Update and Optimism

This past weekend was super busy.  We had family come visit, and it’s been a whirlwind.  Good food, excellent company, and a wonderful way to kick off autumn.  And now, back to work.

Writing

Caste of Iron –

Achieved:  Pretty much nothing.  I did get through some planning and worked out ideas for the next few scenes.  Hopefully I can get more down next week.
Goal: 2000 words, or about 2 scenes, whichever I can accomplish first.

Witchhunt –

Achieved:  Wrote about 1200 words, and getting pretty close to the end.  I also had a sort of surprise, in the form of a twist that I really didn’t want to happen, but it forced itself to happen any way.  Darn plot bunnies.
Goal: 1500 words or to the end. Whichever comes first.

Flash story –

Achieved:  Completed last week’s story and managed to finish a flash piece.
Goal: Taking a break from flash stories this week, to get up on other stuff

Revising

Chalice –

Achieved:  Made it to 25% revision.  Sometimes it takes longer than I think it will to get through an MS.
Goal: Get 40% revised.  I’m coming into a fiddly portion of my revision system, so best not get to crazy.  Ultimate goal would be to reach 50% by the end of September

Seer –

Achieved – I managed an hour on Friday with Seer.
Goal: I’ll try for another two hours this week and see where that gets me.

Amber Soul –

Achieved- Score on this one, and submitted it to my critique sight.

Disaster Story – the story I mentioned last week.  I want to get it fixed up and ready for a contest on my critique sight.  So goal this week would be to complete the revision and submit.  Wish me luck.

Website

Not much to say here, but soon I’ll be adding more pages, with languages details, worldbuilding and some more stories.

Personal Goals

Dedicate a half hour, three nights a week to sewing Bunny’s quiet book –

Achieved: Finish one page.  I think it looks pretty good, but I need to move this along faster.
Goal: Get two pages done, (fingers crossed)

Exercise for at least 20 minutes every day.

Achieved: Bear and I went on a walk every day but Monday, because he had a meeting, and I was feeling lazy On Wednesday, we took Bunny with us.
Goal: Trying for it again this week.

Read 10% each (I’m all about the ebooks) from:

Fashionable Food: Seven Decades of Food Fads by

Achieved:
Goal:

Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett

Achieved: I gave up on this guy.  It was due back at the library and I was making no progress. I’m chalking it up to not being used to reading fiction in hard copy anymore.
Goal: To save up money and buy this one on kindle.

Happy Fall everyone!  Sound off in the comments, and share your goals for the week.
