Breathless Press

Liberators of gold from the British on the high seas, Aedan ó Loinsigh and his brother have never shied away from a challenge on the open waters. Aedan’s only tie to solid ground is the lovely Kaitlin who possesses him like no other.

When the brothers are captured and awaiting execution, a mysterious man offers to free them if they pay off their debt aboard his ship. The brothers waste no time in agreeing to the proposal only to find their new lives are not much better than those of slaves. Desperate to reach Kaitlin again, Aedan must figure out a way to save not only the other indentured servants aboard the ship but get back to his true love. Salvation could come at a price. One that Aedan will have to live with for the rest of his life.

Here are the “FAR” goals I established for this round of ROW80:

F-INISHING works in progress by adding >500 weekly new words, net.

A-DDING >1000 weekly new words to works with 10k words or less to them, and

R-EVISING two works for submission (converting one from adult to new adult and editing one based on feedback.) by tackling at least ONE chapter per week.

Interim results for the week:

FINISHING: Nothing yet for the week. (500 to go)

ADDING: Wrote 691 words on my new adult novel. (only another 309 to go)

REVISING: One chapter of MFV revised. (weekly goal met)

Despite being really tired, I cranked out the 691 new words in one sitting on Tuesday night (just before writing this post) and the one chapter of MFV revisions on Monday night. Rather than continue to stare at my computer screen, I logged those wins, logged off my computer and fell like a log on my sofa to read. That’s another purpose of the goals—keeping BIC time from gobbling up too much of my life. So on that note, adieu and goodnight.
