Report Card

Last week…

  1. I worked on edits for one author.
  2. I worked on revisions of The Demon Lord’s Cloak, which releases November 12th. Have you pre-ordered your copy? 
  3. I worked on revisions of the first chapters of Ignition to help me get back into the story while cleaning up my nits.
  4. I had a CT scan with contrast to see how chemo is working for me. I read the report and can see two cool findings. The “shadow” on my spine is gone, and the “bubble” on my liver is gone. I can’t tell much about the cancer in my ovaries, uterus, and omentum. The doctor will have to tell me all about that when I see him tomorrow.
  5. I was able to work past noon every day—sometimes, even coming back to work a bit in the evenings. That extra week of recovery I got when they cancelled my treatment on Monday (due to my low platelet count) was a blessing.

This next week…

  1. I’m back in the chemo chair on Monday for another round of infusions. I’ve put a few things on my work schedule for the week anyway. I’m stubborn like that.
  2. I don’t care how crappy I feel the day after chemo, I’m voting on Tuesday!
  3. I’ll be finishing edits for one author and beginning edits for two others this week. Not huge page count goals, but I need to chip away at them.
  4. I’ll continue trying to work on editing the pages I’ve already written for Ignition and, hopefully, finishing a new chapter.
  5. I’ll complete revisions of The Demon Lord’s Cloak and upload it to Amazon. 
  6. I’m going to participate in NaNoWriMo this year, even knowing there’s no way in hell I can hit the 50,000 words in November goal. Whatever wordcount I achieve will be a victory.
