Well, I had a bit of a mishap on Monday. Took a bit of a tumble on my bike. Jacked up my legs and both wrists, tore up my hands, and even got a decent crack to the noggin. I spent half the day in the hospital because some nervous Nellies think a head injury is something to be concerned about. As you might imagine, I didn’t get any story progress done, or much of anything at all. Because I’m a schmuck, I’m not letting my injuries keep me from work, but I haven’t been able to focus on TWH like I was planning. However, I have been making some use of my time by starting to go over Tzipi’s Garden and check it for errors like I’ve been doing for other stories lately. (Chapter 9 is particularly a mess.) Hopefully I will get to feeling well enough to really focus on what needs doing for TWH, but I’d say don’t expect a chapter this week. I may be doing good just to do the proofing. It’s still better than nothing, though, right? Stay tuned.

As noted in the previous post, I’ve been kept rather busy of late, and while I may not have been able to sit down and focus on story progress, I have managed to continue my scans through EM3 and then NagaTen. I then had to implement all the changes across EM2, EM3 and NagaTen. (Remember that I have to apply the changes to the original manuscript, the offline HTML backup, and the online version.) Loads of fun.

And of course amidst all this, I have work at work and my resident office productivity specialist at home interfering with me getting to dedicate time to actual writing. Still, it is what it is and at least I’m not left entirely empty-handed, as editing is an important part of the writing process, even if it’s edits done to stories that have been posted for months or even years. Anyway, we’ll see what I can accomplish over the weekend. Stay tuned.

Monday I was mostly busy with the review update, much as I’d be on a normal Sunday. Tuesday I still had that one as of yet untitled story on the mind. I’d brainstormed a few scenes, but I didn’t get much written due to a fuzzy someone’s interference. I managed to switch gears to RttW on Wednesday and write a bit on what should go in Chapter 9 or 10. I was also doing some peripheral work to flesh out some more of the game system.

Besides this, I was continuing my work going through EM2 and digging into EM3 as well. I won’t say there’s a massive amount of errors to be had but definitely more than enough for me to be glad I caught them. Periods where I was having to do things like transcribe handwritten work or use my tablet to write warrant a decent share of the blame for a lot of the typos, but since I’m my only editor, sometimes it takes time for me to come back to a manuscript with a fresh set of eyes to catch things I overlooked in the initial passes. Anyway, that’s enough for now. Work is keeping me hopping at the moment, but I have time opening up in other places that should mean good things for me making progress. Stay tuned.

I only did a little writing on Chapter 23 of EM3, but I did spend a fair bit of time sorting out the corrections I’ve been making to EM1 and EM2 and also writing on a little short that came to me in a moment of inspiration and may be developed into something at a later date. We’ll see how things go. Stay tuned.

I made some progress on Chapter 23 of EM3, but work is starting to pick up again, so that means less writing time. We’ll see what more I can get done. Stay tuned.

I continued my progress on Chapter 23 of EM3. Much as I was going over the CeleKing series last week, I’m going over EM1 now to find stuff that’s slipped past my radar and I’ll be going through EM2 as well. More to come. Stay tuned.

I didn’t get any writing done Monday, but then I had a dream that I wanted out of my head, so it needed to go onto the page. I then proceeded to write this 3200-word piece that would’ve been great if it was actually relevant story progress. It might end up finding its way in some other story in the future, but it doesn’t help with the main objective for the week. As far as that goes, I only made about a paragraph’s worth of progress on Chapter 23 of EM3. I’ve had to do some research on squash. It’ll make sense when you read the chapter in six weeks. We’ll try to pick up the pace in the coming days. Stay tuned.

I put the finishing touches on Chapter 18 of TWH and spent most of my day correcting those errors in the CeleKing series. Loads of fun. I’d like to write more on TWH, but I need to be switching gears to EM3. Stay tuned.

Two days with a good bit of time on my hands proved to be enough to mostly finish Chapter 18 of TWH. Not only that, but I was going over CeleKing1, 2 and 3 to catch typos. It started with me just rereading random chapters and just happening the occasional error, but I went on to do a more methodical scan through the three novels to catch things that had slipped by me in the past. Afterward, I’d have to make those corrections to the original manuscript, the offline HTML file and of course the chapters on the website. Loads of fun.

Anyway, I might try doing a little more on TWH before switching over. Stay tuned.

I managed to pretty well finish up Chapter 22 of EM3, so it’s more or less ready to go when its turn comes up in two weeks. Of course, it’s TWH that’s up next and I’m going to have to hop to if I want its next chapter ready before the deadline. Fun to come. Stay tuned.
