WIP Update – 03 Feb 15

I made a little more progress on Chapter 28 of Tico4. I’m a little tripped up at the moment on how to proceed in one section, so I may move on to the next one and come back to it later. We’ll see. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 02 Feb 15

I managed to pretty well wrap up the first section of Chapter 28 of Tico4. That leaves two more. So long as I keep meeting quota, I should have it done by the end of the week. Let’s see if I can pull it off. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 01 Feb 15

I’ve let myself get off track once again, but I was able to pull myself together to make some headway in Chapter 28 of Tico4. If I hadn’t been missing my quota so much lately, I’d probably be done with the book by now. I’m going to say that my recent media binging has served to recharge my creative batteries and you’re going to believe it because I have such an honest face. ^_^; If nothing else, I should want to meet quota because if I’m posting here every day, I have fewer spam comments to clear out.

If you’re wondering about the anniversary content I promised, it’s still pending. Kazuya scrapped the illustration he was working on in one of those fits of pique artists are known to fall prey to. Maybe an alternative can be slapped together in the next day or two. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 23 Jan 15

I’m under quota, but I managed to get the epilogue of Tico4 pretty well wrapped up and plugged a hole I found in Chapter 29. The overall wordcount for Tico4 is going to be a fair bit lower than expected. It should probably clock in around 65K when I’m done. Speaking of wordcount, I may do a supplemental post on the topic. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 22 Jan 15

On a bit of a whim, I decided to work on the epilogue of Tico4 and I just have the last little bit to go until it’s finished. Honestly, wrapping it up is a lot easier than tackling Chapter 28, so I might as well get it out of the way. Chapters 28 and 30 are the two big action chapters of the climax, so they are, of course, the most challenging. Have to knock them out eventually, though. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 21 Jan 15

It’s funny. I know what works and when I don’t do what works, guess what. It doesn’t work. What I’m referring to is how to meet quota. If I want to meet quota, I have to get to writing soon after I wake up and not allow any distractions until I’ve met my goal. Anything other course of action is almost guaranteed to miss the mark.

Admittedly, I’ve been throwing myself back into gaming. My playing of Zelda Musou has tapered off a bit and I’ve been introducing more Smash and Kakusei into the mix. It’s fun, but I’m not a daggone kid anymore, so it’s nowhere near as easy as it once was.

On to the main event, I managed to get a little work done on Chapter 28 of Tico4. Besides my gaming and such, I honestly have been a bit stuck on how to proceed, but now I think I can push forward. Chapter 28 is probably going to shape up to be a big one, so I don’t expect to get it done this week, but I’ll see what I can do. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 10 Jan 15

I managed to get Chapter 29 of Tico4 mostly finished. I’m getting ever closer to wrapping the book. If my estimations are correct, serialization will wrap at the end of September. I’ll probably be speaking on plans for what’s next when I do the anniversary post. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 08 Jan 15

I found myself with a little time to write and managed to get Chapter 32 of Tico4 mostly finished and did a little on Chapter 29 as well. Once my schedule gets back to normal, I should be writing again on a more regular basis. I think I can limit my Zelda Musou playing enough for that. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 25 Dec 14

With little time to write in the lead-up to Christmas, you wouldn’t expect me to have made any progress on the day itself, but there was a little downtime before the main event and I made some progress on Chapter 29 of Tico4. The potential road trip I mentioned before has come into being, so there’ll be some writing done then as well, but don’t be surprised if my progress becomes sporadic after that when I devote the majority of my free time to such pursuits as my newly acquired Zelda Musou, Smash 4 and Fire Emblem: Kakusei. I’m going to be busy. ^_^ Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 22 Dec 14

I made some progress on Chapters 28 and 29 of Tico4. I may have a road trip coming up that’ll provide plenty of time to get some writing done. We’ll see. Stay tuned.
