Weekly Goals
This week I want to make progress on all the things that got outlined and reworked last week. So, I’m going to go back and reread (again) the first five chapters, specifically with the new outline in mind. I don’t think I’m too far off because most of the changes/fixes are coming in chapters 6-8,…

Progress Check
It took a lot of staring at the screen. A lot of using the strike-through, bold, italics, cut and paste tools. A lot of rereading the old draft. It took reading about colliders, Higgs-Boson particles, Amish rumspringa, real estate internships, housing developments, conservation easements, small town populations, and economics. A lot of talking about energy,…

The Tower
This week I went back to the outline. I changed it, I rearranged events, I started drafting a plot summary from a different character’s perspective. The Tower card keeps coming up. It was a significant emotional plot point in the first draft, but it’s also appeared twice in my weekly readings. I’m starting to wonder…

Fix It
Sometimes I need to remind myself that I’m not done. Which is both the worst news ever, and the best… because it’s possible for multiple things to be true: 1) I did a thing! And that’s awesome! I should be proud!2) The thing I did is not that great.3) Since it’s not actually done yet,…

Tarot Tuesday
This week I did a few different spreads. The first one I want to share is my interview with my new Anima Mundi Deck because IT’S SO PRETTY! I used this spread from Ohm Terra: 1) Describe yourself: The Emperor. Well, aren’t you confident then? The deck feels stable, bound by rules, respects structure and…

Weekly Goals
We’re in the mushy middle now. I spent a reasonable amount of time over the weekend revising the outline to fix the end. Mostly trying to get the WIP back to something like the original idea. Now I have to figure out how we get there. So this week’s goal is more to understand and…

Progress Check
Crazy week, did all the things, went all the places, added (almost) 1000 words to the WIP. So, in all honesty, I didn’t get as far as I wanted (when do I ever?), but I did figure out where Chapter 6 ends, and I did get some more re-revision done on Chapt 4 after getting…

How Is It Thursday?
Seriously, where did Wednesday go? As predicted, the crazy week has already gotten away from me. I did get some revision done on Monday and Tuesday…. but it was back in those early chapters that I’ve already revised. It felt great, I was in the flow, actually pumped the manuscript up to 65,000 words. But,…

Tarot Tuesday
This week I pulled a three-card spread on Monday, and I’m tracking it across the week. From the overview spread:Focus- the Queen of Pentacles. It’s a positive card that suggests prosperity and success in both family and work. Which is great because our family has a lot on schedule this week. The concern, or thing…
