So I finish the update and I think, “Look at all this time I have to write.” I fiddle around a bit, watch a movie, then all of the sudden it’s “There’s no time to write anything!” I did write a little on Chapter 15 of CeleKing2, but not as much as I’d hoped. Now it’s time to switch over to TG, though. If I recall, I came up a bit short last cycle. Need to make up for that. Stay tuned.

I managed to wrap up Chapter 14 of CeleKing2 and start in on Chapter 15. Don’t know if I can finish Chapter 15 before it’s time to switch over, but we’ll see. Stay tuned.

I managed to finished Chapter 12 of CeleKing2 and make some headway in Chapter 14. If I really put my mind to it, I could get as far as finishing Chapter 15 before it’s time to switch over, but we’ll see. Stay tuned.

I made more progress on Chapter 12 of CeleKing2. Didn’t quite finish it, but one more push should get the job done. Stay tuned.

I returned to Chapter 12 of CeleKing2 and made some good progress on it. In the course of writing, I was able to find a way out of a rather uncomfortable sequence and set up some of the events to come. Not a bad bit of work if I say so myself.
As I’ve noted previously, this story has put me in an awkward position frequently. Now, you might argue that as the author I can simply excise any material I’m uncomfortable with. This is true, but while I generally like to plan things out in my story, I also let things develop as they will, at times in quite unexpected ways. I feel this lends more naturalism to the narrative, but with the subject matter here, it still rubs me the wrong way a bit.
Anyway, the worse Yasuko has it, the more rewarding it’ll be when she comes out on top, right? I should be able to knock out 12 and 14 after another day’s work or so. Stay tuned.

I managed to make up for lost time working on Chapter 14 of CeleKing2. More progress like this and I’ll be a happy camper. Speaking of camping, my legs need another day to recover, so I should hopefully manage to make another decent showing progress-wise while I’m holed up in the apartment. Stay tuned.

I said I was going to set aside time for writing, but I didn’t quite meet that goal. I did do a little writing on Chapter 14 of CeleKing2, but that was only because I couldn’t see my 3DS screen in the sunlight while I was waiting on my train. My adventures for the day will have me out of action for the next day or two, so maybe I can pull myself away from my wall of games to actually make some real progress. Stay tuned.

Well, I fell short of my goal. Here I was expecting to breeze through to the end of Chapter 28 of TBP and maybe even get through Chapter 29 as well. I did maybe a couple paragraphs. I pretty well know where I’m going, but I just couldn’t move forward. Even though it’s time to move on to CeleKing2, I think I’ll spend some time catching up. I’ve got the whole week off for Obon, so I should in theory have plenty of time for writing. (We of course know that in practice I actually get more writing done during my off-hours at work if I’m not playing video games.) We’ll see what I can get accomplished. Maybe if I set aside some dedicated writing time, I can get back on schedule. Stay tuned.

Once again, nothing more than a few lines in Chapter 28 of TBP, but once I get the update out, I’m going to buckle down and make up for lost time (hopefully). Stay tuned.

More of the same to report. Still just inching along in Chapter 28 of TBP. I suppose I’m going to have to set aside more dedicated writing time or I’m going to start falling behind. There’s a particular risk with TBP as it’s currently in serialization and I haven’t finished it yet. I’d hate having to go back to the sort of schedule slippage we saw back with Tico1. It’s food for thought at any rate. I’ll see what I can do to turn things around. Stay tuned.
