Here we are again – everyone ready for another go-round?

First up, if you haven’t had the chance, go check out FantasyRanchNovels.com. I’ve updated the site, added some features, and I’ll be adding more as we slide into summer. The blog over there is empty right now, but it won’t be for long. That blog will mainly be for character profiles, FR info and back story, and most importantly the next serialized draft for the series – The Minister’s Maid. More on that next month. Yes, there will still be fiction posted here weekly, but we’ll discuss that after I get The Biker’s Wench finished.

This Wednesday I’ll start a new weekly feature titled “The Writing Journal”, in which I’ll explore plot notes, character creation, writing craft, editing/revision notes, useful software, and basically anything that I happen to be thinking about or working on each week. Could be philosophical, could be technical...you’ll have to tune in to find out.

This Week on The Variety Pages

Tuesday: Ch. 66 of The Biker’s Wench

Wednesday: The Writing Journal

Friday: Ch. 67 of The Biker’s Wench

Saturday: Excerpt from Henrietta the Dragon Slayer by Beth Barany

Goal Reports

I was pretty focused on the business end of things last week, so I completed three of my four goals there, plus I finished setting up my bookkeeping software. The only thing I didn’t accomplish in that category was building the web store, and that’s okay because I was finishing up “stuff” to put in it. So I feel pretty good about all that, because much of what I did is initial set-up that won’t need to be repeated.

The writing went pretty well, though I still haven’t done that crit, and the author’s probably fed up with me by now. Still, it’s going back on the list, and on the calendar for tomorrow. Last week was a light week writing-wise as I am between serials on the erotica blog, so that helped me get all the business stuff done.

As for the personal list, I completed two of three, and the third one not getting done was out of my control. So all in all, a good week, and extremely productive. I love it when that happens...

Goals for the Week

Writing

• Crit doc. (Mon)

• 6 serial scenes

• Edit short when it comes back

I know I’m aiming pretty high this week, but I’m optimistic. What’s at the top of your list for the week?
