Back again! I love this point of the week, looking fresh at what I want to do while debating watching the next episode of whatever it is DSB has in mind. At the moment it’s Buffy The Vampire Slayer. YUSSSH! ^_^

Actions Last Week

~Complete Deep Edits on 12k words of ‘Second Base’ (which takes me up to the scene with Karen and Pete chatting in the garden).
Sorted. Taking it a chapter a day is really keeping me from going insane. Slow and steady and all that.

~Perform Beta Edits on ‘Malcolm’ using comments from (very, very kind!) beta readers
Done. Now I need to let it rest (for a couple of days) before I do one last read and get it ready for proofing.

~Write the special (compilation version only) special story for the end of the ‘Meeting Each Other’ series
Yes. Wow. Okay. Didn’t expect to get it in, but I did. 500 words short of my goal of 3k, but I couldn’t stretch the story any further without it feeling exactly that. So I stopped. Let’s see what editing does to it when the time comes.

Activities For The Week

1. Complete Deep Edits on 12k words of ‘Second Base’ (which takes me up when Karen shows Dan ‘Black Angelus’ on her laptop – I realise these markers are a bit cryptic as far as you’re concerned, but I can’t really help that. Sorry folks!).
2. Proof ‘Malcolm’ and format

Thoughts…

I spent a bit too much time last week relaxing. Not that I didn’t get lots done – I did – but these stretching goals are within my grasp with the two full days I have in the week.

I’m going to push a little further to get these bits done, this time. I really want ‘Malcolm’ done and dusted by the end of the month, then I can focus on the print compilation.
