Daniel Escurel Occeno I was able to update 2 eBook covers Monday Gubat Time so ahead of my goal of updating more. I need to plot the chapters of my NaNoWriMo novel for November. I also need names of not-main characters. Bible names existed and names, which existed, before 1824.
E.M. Shue Finish bible for book 6. Start bible for book 1 of new series.
Sarah Glenn I’ve just introduced a new character into the storyline. I need to find his next point of impact with the heroes and see how he changes things.
Alisha Vincent I need to finish a short story for an anthology.
Christy Jackson Nicholas I’m in the dreaded line-by-line grammar edit mode for my recently completed first draft. Getting rid of 90% of ‘was’ and ‘could’ and ‘that’, fixing spelling, grammar, repeated words, cliches, all of that. I did chapter 1 of 22 yesterday. My goal is to get through at least chapter 10 this week. I’ve some big blocks of time to work on that today and tomorrow.
Lois Paige Simenson Outline Book Two.

Lois Paige Simenson Attend our Anchorage writer’s conference and take a break from my novel. Meeting with the senior editor of Kensington Books who acquisitioned and edited Dan Brown and Tom Clancy books. Intimidated and terrified doesn’t even begin to cover it 😳🤪
Bill Kelly I’d like to get at least 1500 words on one of my two books. I’d say the minimum would be 500 words on the main book. If I did that with 1000 words on the other, then I’d be happy. I want to get far enough on the other one to send the opening chapter to the friend who is agitating me to write that one.
Pam Martin Incorporate the primary source info I got into the NIP and finish it. Pick up where I left off on an Every Book and Crannies series book, and make sure I have my NaNoWriMo project ready to go.

Bill Kelly I recently found something that I need to add to an earlier chapter. I hope I remember to do so. Finishing this chapter would be good, but I’ll be happy with any progress. A friend was trying to help me find a place to publish a commentary that I wrote. I’ll try to remind him.

T.D. Dixon Dunno yet. Wrote three pages on a whim today. As soon as I clear my plate of other priorities for the studio, I’ve got a piece I’m dying to tell.
Bill Kelly At this point, I’ll be happy with any progress on the current chapter. The style of this chapter is different from the rest of the book, and I’ve been struggling all month with the switch. As we’d agreed, I was going to go to another chapter and come back later, but I was sitting one night and just turned off one part of my mind and wrote with another. If I can do that a few more times, I’ll get there.

Meg Wilson Plan on putting aside Thursday Friday and Sunday for the next few scenes in the novel and I have a short story that keeps invading so I need to get that on paper too
Lois Paige Simenson I must make decisions how to write my antagonists. It involves gender discrimination in the wildfire community. It is a subplot to the romance I’m writing. At first I didn’t think I had the courage to write it and kept chickening out. Then my critique …See More
