WIP Update – 24 Nov 16

If it weren’t for the regular updates to the site, you might be forgiven for thinking I fell off the face of the Earth. It is the week of Thanksgiving after all. (Okay, I’ll admit, they’ve got two scenario events in GBF and they’ve brought back the Kyle hero quest in S&D, so that might bear some of the blame for my current lack of progress.) I didn’t figure the single sentence I wrote in Chapter 11 of CeleKing1 on Monday was worth mentioning. And while I haven’t made any story progress per se, I have made some serious headway sorting out the timeline for TBP.

While the scale of my maps isn’t necessarily precise, I decided to actually attempt to crunch the numbers for a more accurate calculation of travel times. (I’ve done some calculations for the KoG and TTWC series, but never applying quite so much math.) In so doing, it completely threw the original timeline into chaos. However, after a lot of work, I finally managed to get things lined up. This is going to cause some reshuffling of the chapters, which is going to make my earlier WIP posts make less sense looking back. (For instance, at the moment, the new Chapters 3, 4 and 5 were formerly 4, 5, and 3.) I had about a 20-day offset I was able to resolve by giving Cassandra’s group an additional side trip leading up to the final confrontation, so that’s something.

Given how much of the week has passed with no appreciable progress on CeleKing1, I’ll likely spend next week on it as well, but we’ll see. Stay tuned.
