I also got the Peter's Angel Christmas short stories sent off to a proofreader last week, so yay!

I'm finishing the script for CHILD this week, and it's my first week "off" of work, so I'm hoping to catch up on various things. So, I donno how to make a goal of that, but...

Personal Goal: Start Formatting the interior of the frappe book.
Timezone: CST

It's going to be a complicated two-page layout for each recipe, with full-color backgrounds and a lot of decorative elements, so if I can at least decide on the layout and get several spreads done, I'll be happy. Ideally I'll get the whole thing done, though.

That's great, Rachel! All of it! Have fun with that formatting. I'm glad I'm not doing it.

Personal Goal: Send out the first chapter to a few people.

Timezone: AEST

Haha! You do the editing, and I'll do the formatting, and everyone will be happy, Faith.

That works for me.

Weekly challenge: I did it! Probably one of the scariest thing I've done. If it weren't for this goal I would have put it off and edited it more. And more. And it probably wouldn't have gotten any better. I need the feedback. And I didn't send it to particularly scary people.

Good job, Lady Anna!

Weekly challenge accomplished twice. First with a blind person and now with someone who is mute.

Personal goal complete!
