ROW80: Some progress. It's Spring!

It's Sunday evening and time to check in after a mix of working on writing, researching, and editing this morning, laundry, a full day of grocery shopping, and planning for the coming week.

PROGRESS SO FAR:

1. WRITING: Minimum of 1 hour/day/6 days week on Seventh Tapestry. Wrote 4/6 days, added 1,700 words. NEXT WEEK? More of the same.
2. REVIEWING:  Beta read for Fallon Brown’s Flames of Renewal, 1 hour/day. Worked 5/7 days, mostly 2 hour sessions. Completed Chapters 9-17. Not started: Review Stan Parks’ Jakob’s Ladies. Both DUE end of May.
3. NEWSLETTER out by May 5:  No progress. Pushed to May 15.
4. WRITER'S GROUP: Now meeting 2x/month.
5. NEW PROJECT: Seriously beginning a family history. Worked about 3 hours this week, having fun scanning photos and collecting stories, including one about my DH being taken to see Jackie Robinson.

MARKETING: Set date/place for launch party, Rivers of Stone. Mostly done (June 9 or 16 at a local library). Contacted local book club to schedule reading. Done! Still need to follow-up on audiobook marketing x1.

BLOGGING/E-MAIL: ROW80 posted 2x this week. IWSG month post. Done!  (post snippet on Weds, goals on Sunday). Read posts by others x7/this week. Re GOAL of decluttering e-mail? Falling behind. Back up to over 150 unread. Still want to update writing blog and update Amazon’s Author Central (way too many blank paragraphs here!)

Now for the rest of the story: Found this delightful hotel for my characters from the Seventh Tapestry to stay at called the Lion & the Unicorn Inn, some 22 miles from Stirling Castle in Scotland. Thomas will stash Sandra here once the lost tapestry has been found. But will she disappear with the tapestry?

Lion & Unicorn Inn,
Thornhill, near Stirling.

What's for dinner?
A steak on a unicorn platter!

Other updates: Steady progress on the owl quilt. Another appointment with the doctor this week about my foot (results of MRI). Perhaps I shouldn't have played soccer with my 3-year-old granddaughter yesterday.  

Spring should be here now for most of us. I'm wishing you a great week of writing. Check in either at the website for A Round of Words in 80 Days or on Facebook. See you there!
