Report:
Doppelganger--Got another rejection back, moving on.
Early Risers--Just shy of 9k in the novel-sized version, and I'm considering sticking to this one instead of shopping the first chapter around as a short.
Demigeists--13k, I think. (Don't have my flash drive plugged in right now.)
Candelabrum--posted in SYW, link in signature. Please check it out and give me your input if you have time!
On my other goal, that being Acquire New Computer: I'm waiting to be approved for a Best Buy card, then I'm getting a MacBook Pro. Hopefully I'll have something by the end of the week.
And, since I finished one project (the writing part anyway, not the editing), I'm giving myself permission to feed one of the plot bunnies. I'm taking my NaNo from two years ago (The Time Ghost) in a different direction. Involving crop circles, transdimensional wolves, and Tarot cards. 1200 words so far.
Goals:
Computer, computer, computer. And words. And I reckon I should send "Doppelgänger" somewhere, so I'll try to get on that too.
Well your muse will motivate you, or else.Sorry DL not much progress for me this week

PR work some done
Because it is Tuesday already and I have gotten nothing writing related done so far, I'm not making any goals. been a shitty week at work and I just want to unwind when I get home. If I get anything done it will be brownie points.
I am always exited to see you posting in the hounds, Miss Kitty. Good luck with your goals.This poster looks like something I thought you would like.I am here!
Stats:
STILL working on the vampire query. The filthy thing is NOT going to outdo me.
Started a new novel that is best described as Chelsea Cain's "Heartsick" meets "The Collector". I am a VERY disturbed soul,lol.
Actively researching agents who want Horror. Not literary horror but straight up horror. I tell y'all,the ground is thin. But I am going to keep trying.
Sometimes starting fresh produces interesting results. Good luck with your subs and goal.Let's see...progress? I went through something like 300 bookmarked websites and compiled what I needed for the novel into 36 pages of types notes. I also went through most of my handwritten notes and the old outline for the novel. Almost ready to start writing it again. From. Scratch.
I also came up with a new (shorter and less complicated) ending for a short I wrote earlier this year called Like Daughter. This week I think I'd like to get that one revised and ready to sub. I'm tired of having things linger on the computer.
Maybe some of the pics will inspire you.I have no progress, but I like the pics in here.
Can I do last week over? Sheesh. I didn't get anything other than 2000 words of backstory written on the novel. Which is a little frustrating because it doesn't really feel like forward movement, even though I know it is necessary.
I've written 666 words so far today and have only gotten started. My goal for this WIP is to be subbing it by the end of March. Think it might actually happen.
Last night I dreamed a story with a hurricane, a sea monster, a hostage taking, and a gorilla.
Sorry no writing/PR/Reading progress last week. May not get anything done this week. But I will try
