Mondays would be so much easier if they started far later, IMO. I'm a night person. As I write this, the clock reads 12:57am. When this post goes live, it will be right around 6am, which is what time I have to get up and start getting ready for work. I'm not really fully-functional until around 10am, after I've been at work for a good hour and a half. This is why I have to plan my days out ahead of time. If I don't, the lack of enthusiasm for mornings follows me through the whole day. It's not pretty.

In any case, I've been switching a lot of my information from my obsolete PDA (which I'm still using as well for now) to Google calendars. In doing so, I stumbled into information on creating separate calendars, and then sharing them out, and even posting them on the web. Naturally, I've taken this to a whole 'nuther level, and created calendars for my blog schedule and my personal writing schedule, and posted them here and on my web site.

So if you want to know what's going on at the blog, or which days are free for guest posts, there's a button in the top left link area labeled "Blog Schedule" that will show you. If you want to know what project I'm working on for a given day, you can click on the "Writing Schedule" link. Just a warning – my writing schedule has all the projects I'm working on, not just the romantic suspense. So follow any links with caution.

Goals Report

I pretty well just stayed caught up last week, though I did do a better job of that. I keep wanting to rush to the end of The Biker's Wench, and then I talk myself out of it, because a non-rush job would be better. It's hard though, and I'm planning to take a week off from the day job in the near future so I can get some drafts finished and catch up around the house. Still, I'd like to have TBW done before that, if possible...

I've got the Fantasy Ranch web site nearly planned out, so I should be able to start actually putting it together this week. I need to catch up on the business newsletter & blog – those are on the list for today. And taxes...ah, taxes. I now have access to last year's records, and the new TurboTax installed and updated on my computer. Tonight after work, I dig in.

Goals for the Week

Writing

• 8 serial installments

• 1 crit

• Finish a draft (any draft!)

Business

• Start building the FantasyRanchNovels.com site

• Catch up blog/newsletter

• Promo tweets

Personal

• More laundry

• Finish the taxes

• Workout 3x

• Spring clean-up in the yard (weather permitting).

And that's my plan for the week. What are you up to? Read any good books lately?
