WIP Update – 19-22 Jun 23

Another week, another bit of progress on Chapter 15 of TWH. I might as well continue to push onward with this one while an idea is relatively clear in my head as I’m pretty well stalled on the other three stories as well. I hold some home of summer vacation being an opportunity to clear my head and forge ahead, but we know that the more time I have, the less I tend to accomplish. Anyway, as term exams wind down, I have a bit less on my plate, so I’ll see if I can’t make the final push to get this one done. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 07-11 Jun 21

If I was on the ball, I would’ve finished Chapter 20 of KniTwi and maybe even knocked out one or two more chapters while I was at it. Instead I wrote a little bit, then wrote this unrelated chapter that I think is going somewhere in the Legend of Nell series, but I don’t actually know where at the moment. I then decided to reread Tellus and managed to uncover a couple dozen typos that escaped my initial passes through the story. Finally I got a tiny bit more done on Chapter 20. I’m going to have to buckle down as the chapter is due out next Saturday. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 09-12 Dec 20

I finished Chapter 13 of KniTwi and did a bit on Chapter 31 of JJ2. In my continuing adventures in rereading, I went back through Tellus. Always glad to catch any flubs I didn’t get on the first try. Anyway, from here I’ll be focusing on getting the next chapter of JJ2 out. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 01-03 Dec 20

I did some writing on Chapter 9 of EM2, but I once again found myself going back to old material and rereading TBP, mostly for entertainment purposes, but I was also catching a number of typos and such I didn’t correct when I first posted the chapters. I’d like to finish the chapter of EM2, but I need to switch over to KniTwi if I’m going to make this week’s deadline. We’ll see what I get done. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 09, 12-18 Jan 20

After all these delays, I’ve finally wrapped up the epilogue of Tellus and with it, my 18th novel is now complete. From here, I suppose the greater urgency is on getting the next chapter of JJ2 done, so I guess I’ll work on that. Stay tuned.

Dec 27 2019

WIP Update – 11-13, 15-19 Dec 19

One: I really didn’t follow my suggestion to post these updates more frequently. Two: It’s taken me a whole week just to post the update. Three: I haven’t done any actual writing since then. Well, it’s Christmas and all that, so I can get back on schedule once I’m back in Japan.

Anyway, on to the update itself. As you already know, I finished Chapter 41 of Tellus and then went on to work on Chapter 16 of JJ2. Obviously I haven’t finished that yet. We’re just going to say that no significant progress is going to be made until I’m settled in once again back in sunny Nippon. Until then. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 02-06, 08-10 Dec 19

I really need to start taking the time to make these posts more often. Anyway, I’ve been progressing smoothly on Chapter 41 of Tellus and will have no trouble finishing it in time for the update. I honestly just have to do the very end of the chapter and I’ll be done. I’ll probably switch over to JJ2 after that, though I admit it’s tempting to just go ahead and write the epilogue and be done with it. I’ll be spending a lot of time on the train this Saturday, so who knows how things will go? Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 07-08, 10-14 Nov 19

I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised that I didn’t get anything done during my Halloween trip, but even after I got back, it took quite a while for me to get the ball rolling again. Eventually I resumed work on Chapter 40 of Tellus and I’ve finally got it done. For the time being, I’m going to shift the update schedule to just one story a week in a bid to get things out with minimal delays as I’m now pressed on all three fronts. Next up, I need to get the next chapter of JJ2 together. Stay tuned.

Oct 22 2019

WIP Update – 19-22 Oct 19

Saturday I was mostly wrapped up in the peripheral materials as the Second Convocation plays out quite a bit differently than previous iterations of the story and entries needed to be updated accordingly. I made some good progress on Chapter 40 of Tellus Sunday and then more modest strides after that, ultimately falling short of my goal to have the chapter out Tuesday. Rather than hastily slap it together and push it out the door, I’m instead going to push the release date back again. *sigh* I really need to get back on the ball. Hopefully it won’t take me going back on Lenten restrictions to get sorted out. Stay tuned.

Oct 19 2019

WIP Update – 17 Oct 19

I made some good progress on Chapter 40 of Tellus, but I’ve still got a ways to go if I’m going to make the Tuesday deadline. Nothing to it but to do it. More to come. Stay tuned.
