WIP Update – 28 Feb 18

Made a little more progress on Chapter 3 of Tellus, but more time was spent in the peripheral materials and charting out the course of the story’s journey (about halfway into it at the moment). More to come. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 26 Feb 18

I finished up Chapter 2 on Tellus, wrote a fair bit on Chapter 3 and a scene for Chapter 4. We’re off to a good start. If I can maintain this pace, I’ll have some respectable progress done by the end of the week. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 25 Feb 18

Well, I decided that taking the subtle approach wasn’t going to get me where I needed to be, so I wiped the entire outline of Tellus clean and started over from scratch to put the story back together in a way that’s more cohesive and streamlined narratively. I didn’t go quite as far when getting TBP ready for prime time, but there was a similar spirit that required me apply the last 15 years of experience to taming the overeagerness of my 16-year-old self. Quite a few subplots and extraneous characters were cut, but a lot of that material will find new life in the sequel of sorts, The Wandering Warriors.

Although it’s TG’s turn, the need to get more content written for Tellus is greater, so that’s what I’m going to be working on this week. If I can at least finish two or three chapters, that’d be nice. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 23 Feb 18

I finished Chapter 18 of CeleKing3. All around, I’ve been making outstanding progress this week. A wonder what restricting your usual distractions can do for productivity. Anyway, I’m going to try to make some headway from Chapter 9 forward to work on closing the gap. Probably going to work on untangling Tellus’ storyline while I’m at it. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 22 Feb 18

I finished Chapter 17 of CeleKing3 and started in on Chapter 18. Things are moving along smoothly. If only Tellus was in such good shape. I’m seriously thinking about replotting the story from the ground up. Not really something you want to be doing less than two weeks before launching a novel, but so it goes. Stay tuned.

More progress on Chapter 17 of CeleKing3. More to come. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 20 Feb 18

I made more progress on Chapter 17 of CeleKing3 and in the process I’ve created a character I rather enjoy. I don’t think he has any presence outside of this chapter, but I may have to find an excuse to give him more screentime. Still looking to fill in the gaps in the narrative, but that may be a task for the weekend. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 19 Feb 18

I finished Chapters 13 and 16 of CeleKing3 and made some progress on Chapters 15 and 17. Yes, I need to go back and finish the first act of the story and I’ll be getting to that eventually. Still, this was some good progress and if I can do more of the same, I’ll be done with this one before I know it. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 17 Feb 18

I mostly spent my available time writing reviews, but I also put the finishing touches on the epilogue of TBP. (I also seem to have gotten distracted enough yesterday that I didn’t get around to writing this entry then.) I guess it’s time to switch over to CeleKing3, but I may still do some Tellus-related stuff as well. Stay tuned.
