Dani's Monthly Goals for July 2008

Starting with week one and Book in a Week:

• 30 pages of fiction 27 pages - I'll take it.
• Work on the Rural Newspapers Ever lens
• Slog through my endless writing for topics and articles to revise for the rural newspaper articles
• Pimp the Quickest Blog Book Tour Guide Ever Daily;) Twitter!
• Walk five miles per week minimum and try to beat Dana On it!
• Learn how to work Open Office
• Find three cozy mystery titles to review - 2 eBooks

Rest of the month, really work on learning graphics stuff in OO so I can think about the You Can Quote Me CafePress shop. Signed up for shop. It's a start. Right now, I'm just too stupid to do it. Also, get my photo albums organized in Vista. I don't even understand it enough to pretend. Also have to input hubbo's writing for the church window repair book as he's too slow and hogs the computer for too long trying to do it himself. Wish he had a secretary. :) Also must start thinking about Eric Maisel's Creativity Central blog posts as that will surely be happening soon. No sooner out of my mouth and it happened... some good posts showing up over there. Go see. The hold-up there has been a reprieve, but it won't last much longer. In fact, his website design is taking so long, I'm getting a little intimidated about being involved with the project.

Got a bad case of the Alsos today.

Dana's Goals for June

Oh yeah, back from the dead! Or my book tour... Book tour of the Living Dead! hah!

Anyway, I have been very very busy. I had a ghost writing project; non-fiction erotica to help a friend meet a project deadline. It was due June 1st and came to me smack in the middle of prep for the book tour and the tour itself. I managed something like 7000 words in four days and met the deadline. My pal has asked me to write five more mini-chapters, due by the 27th. So...that's what I'll be doing for the next two weeks. I have a Twilight Tour to emcee at the cathouse the weekend of the 21st, so that weekend will be taken up with driving to L.A., working at the tour and driving home. Ugh, yay, and Ugh, respectively.

I'm also working on the sequel to MFH: The Peruvian Pigeon, having found it more eager to write itsel than LILITH (which is still being pecked at). I also need to add to my blog roll and post three times a week. So... my goals for the rest of June are:

1. Finish four-five vignettes for the erotica project.
2. 1,000 words on MFH: The Big Snooze every five days
3. Post three times a week (long or short, doesn't matter)
4. Anything on Lilith will be a plus, not necessary.

Dana's Goals, April 21st-April 27th

I'm gonna have to jam this week 'cause I'm out of town Friday night through Sunday doing a Twilight Tour at the cathouse. Long drive Friday night and Sunday coming back home. Ugh. But I will get to see all the cats!

Anyway, what I have to get done before I go:

1. Post for Cozy Chicks on LLC and meeting Jess Lourey.
2. Post for Killer Hobbies on theater and baking and how they relate to MFH
3. Review August Moon for Mysterious Musings
4. Get my cyber tour schedule up on my website and my blog.
5. Get something posted on my own blog, fer crissake!
6. Start chapter one of BAD RAP and make minor revisions to prologue.
7. Exercise as per usual.

Hey, where are all the links to these blogs??
