Goals for Week of June 28

Well. With last week totally a waste and none of my goals accomplished, I need to take a deep breath and start again. I experienced really bad writer's block caused by stress and uncertainty of our adopting our Lovely Boy. I've written two parts on the adoption process and am feeling the stress being to lift. While writing the first part of the adoption blogs, I labored over every word. The second part just flew and, by the time I finished it, I feel relieved.

My goals for the week really resemble last week's:

1. Word count: 2500 words by Friday morning (we think Lovely Boy's coming for the weekend)

2. Out of Genre Reading: continue James Rollins' Amazonia with attention on story pacing (lost the book last week...found out under my chaise)

3. In Genre Reading: read the new Tessa Dare

4. Blog: Wednesday's topic: What I learned from Courtney Milan's Proof By Seduction and Friday's writing exercise...I want to develop the Haunted House one step further.  Tuesday is scheduled already (Part 3 of my Adoption Process series) and I've roughly sketched something out for Thursday.
