Most of you probably have seen/read elsewhere that my day job has been incredibly demanding lately (if not, now you know). When I get home at night, I have limited brain power left to do much of anything...blogging/writing included, and I haven't been feeling all that social (so twitter/FB/G+ are pretty low on my priority list at the moment). I’m not currently behind, but it’s the start of the week, and I have no idea how stressful things are going to be just yet. So if I miss a post or two here and there for the next couple of weeks, just know that it’s probably because something had to give, and writing comes before blog posts. As far as serial fiction goes – that’s number one on my lists, so those will continue as normal. I have no intention of letting the stories get behind if I can at all avoid it (not just for your sakes, dear readers, but for my own sanity as well).

Luckily, I have an interview for you this week from Denise Grover Swank, and an excerpt of her new book to post on Saturday. So there’s two posts I guarantee you won’t want to miss.

Goal Reports

I’m just going to ignore the fact that I had goals last week – honestly, there’s no point in rehashing, since the day job thing pretty much obliterated my chances of reaching them. New week, fresh new goal list. Sometimes all you can do is move forward.

Goals for the Week

Writing

• Five serial chapters

• Edits to latest erotica short

• Finish two beta reads, start the third

Business

• Mail out ARC’s (today!)

• Finish formatting TBW & upload

• Update web sites

• Catch up bookkeeping for June

Personal

• Workout 4 nights

• Make time to read

• Decompress when needed

That’s my list for the week – how’s your week shaping up? Anything fun in the works?
