So sorry folks, Herald's Hall has been taking most of my time on HW, and I've been swamped with other stuff too.

This week has been very productive so far, and I'm very excited with my progress. Since my mind tends to work like a train - slow acceleration, but watch out trying to stop it once it's going - I'm going with an alternating day projects schedule. Monday and Wednesday are novel prep and Tues/Thurs are editing days.

Specific goals are hard to pin down for novel prep, but Tues/Thurs editing days can be managed by chapter each day. I've been taking a lot of notes the first time through, so it took me all day to mark character, plot, science, and politics/religion in their own Word Docs. Some people might say marking that is too much for the first pass, and that I should read it more like a reader, but my mind has a hard time marking down character details without having a reference in my notes to the plot that is tied to that characteristic. Being able to direct to the plot point in my character point notes has been very helpful for organization.

If I fail to post this thread on Monday, anyone else is free to start it.

I've had a messed up week with family events, so I didn't set a goal this week - and haven't done that much writing. I'll be back on track next week.

I'm similar to Phili...my brother came to visit for the week, and I kind of ended up not meeting my normal goals for a couple of days and just decided I'd take a bit of a vacation. So no real goals this time. I'll make sure to have some for next week, though.

You're excused girls, but here's your chance to redeem yourself, with goals for week three (here)
