WIP Update – 20 Aug 17

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.

WIP Update – 19 Aug 17

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.

WIP Update – 18 Aug 17

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.

WIP Update – 17 Aug 17

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.

WIP Update – 16 Aug 17

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.

WIP Update – 15 Aug 17

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.

WIP Update – 14 Aug 17

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.

WIP Update – 13 Aug 17

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.

WIP Update – 12 Aug 17

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.

WIP Update – 10-11 Aug 17

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.
