Hi folks, it’s time for the old Wednesday check-in. This has
been a good week so far and I’m expecting even better things as the week wears
on. So, on with the show.
The Goals
1. Blog twice each week over and above my
ROW80 check-ins
I’m right on track here. If any of you are wondering how
to cope with turning forty, I’ll tell you how I did it in my next post.
2. Continue to read and comment on the blogs
of my fellow writers
This is an easy one as I have so many great blogs to
choose from. I read and comment on a minimum of five per day.
3. Write at least 2K words on a WIP each week
I’m right on track here with over a thousand words on my
WIP so far this week. With luck I’ll cross the 2K tonight.
4. I set out to publish six novels this year.
I managed three last round, and two more between rounds, so that leaves me with
one more novel to publish. I will see if I can get it out this round.
As I said last time, I now have two novels waiting on the
editor. Life is good.
5. Read and review two or more first novels by
new writers this round.
I recently picked
up a copy of A Patchwork of Perspectives Vol. 1 by Alberta Ross. This book is a
collection of short stories, vignettes of life’s moments told from different
perspectives. The best word I can use here is, delightful. I loved them all and
I quite love Alberta’s voice, her style.
I truly enjoyed
the book, but the highlight for me was her description of a dog pack in action.
I live with a pack of dogs, and know exactly what she described looks like.
Wonderful.
The best part
here is, you can read a story in a quick break.
Got a few moments to kill, read a story. You can find A Patchwork of
Perspectives here:
6. Publish two or more short works, between
five and twenty five thousand words.
The first has already been published, The First Key. Here’s
a coupon for a free copy. UZ27H
I also have two other possibilities for the next one. The
first is a fantasy tale and the other is that small collection of Erotica I’ve
been threatening to publish.

Ooh... Erotica? I say go for it, Prudence. Totally dig your rapid pace and productivity.
ReplyDeleteYou really think I should? I don't know, August. It might be a bit scary. tee hee
DeleteCongrats on all your progress! I enjoy Alberta's blogs, so I'll have to check out her stories. And The First Key was wonderful - I owe you a review. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Jennette, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
DeleteI'm not doing ROW80, but my critique group has an accountability aspect, which is helping a lot. My biggest problem is keeping up with the blog visits when I'm having a busy week. I try to get around to as many as I can, but sometimes I just run out of time.
ReplyDeleteI know, Marcy. You could spend all day and still miss a few. Thw WANAs have some great blogs.
DeleteHi Prudence! Good to see you! You always amaze me with your productivity. You're doing great with your goals. I thank you for the book review. Love the cover art. I will have to check this one out! How am I doing? I am so behind Prudence.Life does not stand still when you are sick. It takes off like a rocketship and leaves you in its wake. Thanks for asking and take care!:)
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, good to see you back in action. The trick is to forget about catching up. Just jump in and start from where you are. :)
DeleteWhat a great review thank you so much - made my day that a fellow writer liked the stories. I haven't really pushed the short stories, but i do so like writing them.
ReplyDeletecan't say about the choice - I'm not an erotica fan myself wheres as I do like a bit of fantasy:)
thank you again and all the best for this weeks goals
All my pleasure, Alberta. I quite enjoyed the book.
