Previous goals:
chapter critique- done.- write first scene of T.C. - brainstormed, but didn't actually write it yet
read a good chunk of Liz's manuscript- read some. don't know if it would constitute a good chunk... will read more! :-)plan details for B's birthday party- pretty set on what I want to do. nothing too complicated, as he'll only be 4.
Goals for next week:
- chapter critique
- write first scene of T.C.
- send party invites (soon!)
- enter first chapter contest
- move website "news and updates" to its own page
I revised the opening of EotF... again... I took the better elements from the two previous versions, then made a couple other changes. Now I get to resist making more changes to the rest of the manuscript until I can get some overall feedback. You can now read the first two pages (in addition to some other excerpts) over at my website for EotF.
