In General:
Catch up on several things that fell thru the cracks last week.
Help my son with a crisis with his website. If I had helped sooner it wouldn't be such a big task this week. Lack of planning on my part-as usual

Writing:
Catch up with WordWonders and post homework
Stick to my schedule faithfully
Continue to write at night before I go to bed minimum of 500 words in addition to my daily word count
Attend at least 2 sprints this week.
Edit the 2 queries and synopsis for the 2 books and submit to at least 3 markets ( I should write this in blood so it will get done, but I'm working on a new laptop so I won't ;)

Personal:
Have lunch with friends and family and be in the moment
Journal daily for clarity
Plan smart goals
Practice peace

Submit my first chapter to my publisher for the reps.
Set up time for PR kick off meeting in February
The first 50 pages are pretty well edited. Do a quick pass through on the rest of the manuscript and make notes and easy edits. I have to have a ready to go manuscript to the publisher on February 14.
Hopefully next week and I do a more intense edit.
