Wednesday's Writing Update: March's Goals

 

Happy Wednesday!

I have March's goals planned out. Here they are:

1. Finish writing The Loveless Princess.

I should've had this finished by now, but it didn't get done. I do hope to finish it in March.

2. Write/Edit "Dragon Spy" and edit "Blind Scribe" from Men of Foxwick.

"Dragon Spy" and "Blind Scribe" will go through my CPs, and I hope to finish editing both stories in March.

3. Write Part III of The Phoenix Prophetess.

I ran out of time during NaNoWriMo 2012 (wrote 60,000 words in Parts I and II) to finish Part III, so I hope to write at least half of the chapters I have left, if not all of them, by the end of March. I probably have between 30,000-40,000 words left to write.

4. Finish writing my A to Z Challenge posts on this blog and Surrounded by Books Reviews.

Yes, I'm participating in the A-Z Challenge again for two blogs, and I must finish those posts soon. I do have a theme (All About Foxwick on this blog and Book Series on the other), so that's very helpful.

5. If time, write "The Sword Master," short story three in Men of Foxwick.

What are your March goals?

Wednesday's Writing Update: New Review of Once Upon a December Nightmare and more!

 

Happy Wednesday!

I received a new review of Once Upon a December Nightmare. You can read the review here. As a reminder, Once Upon a December Nightmare is still free on Amazon, Kobo, Smashwords, Sony, and iTunes.

Writing and editing this month has been pretty sparse. *sighs* Between the writers' conference earlier this month, having more work at the day job, and a family problem during the first full week of February (it's now okay), it's been difficult to find the energy to write and edit. Thus, I'm behind on this month's goals.

As for Starred, between critique partners' comments and time, I've decided not to edit this novel right now. I hope to work on it again in August.

I still hope to finish editing Part II of The Phoenix Prophetess this month. I also should finish my notes for Part III, which I still need to write. If all goes well, I should be able to complete this goal this weekend. *crosses fingers*

I have started writing "Dragon Spy," story two in Men of Foxwick. I have five more scenes, or around 3,000 more words, to write. I should be able to finish this story before the end of February. I also need to do my third edit of "Blind Scribe," so I can send it to CP #3.

Then, there is The Loveless Princess. Last week, I managed to write through Chapter 9, or one-third of the novella. I still have another 20,000+ words to go before the novella is finished, so it's looking very doubtful that I'll finish it by the end of February, since I still have so many other things I need to do. That's okay. I'm loving the story and what's happening with it, so if it needs more time, then so be it. I would like to reach the midway point with this novella, though, by the end of February.

As for the next couple days, I'm working on friends' critiques and blog posts.

How's your writing going? What do you have going on this week?
