WIP Update – 19-22 Jan 20

I knocked out Chapter 17 of JJ2 and then moved on to Chapter 26 of CeleKing3. Once I’m through with that, I’ll probably dig into Tellus‘ successor. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 28-29 Nov, 01 Dec 19

I managed to finish Chapter 23 of CeleKing3 and make some progress on Chapter 26. I’m going to go ahead and switch back over to Tellus, as that’s bound to take more time. Stay tuned.

Jul 22 2019

WIP Update – 20-22 Jul 19

I’ve made some more progress in Chapter 21 of CeleKing3, but I haven’t quite finished the chapter, to say nothing of finishing the dang book. I really need to switch over, though, so I’ll be giving JJ2 some attention. Stay tuned.

Jul 16 2019

WIP Update – 13-15 Jul 19

I’m trudging along through the new Chapter 21 of CeleKing3. The lofty goal of finishing the book over the long weekend clearly isn’t happening, but I’m going to stick with the book throughout the week before switching over. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 08-11 Jul 19

I’ve been letting the usual distraction occupy me when I should be writing. I’ll admit that scripting this last stretch of CeleKing3 continues to be a challenge. I’ve been doing more previz than actual writing, but I have made progress on what’s now Chapter 27 as I’ve decided to add a new Chapter 21 to better set things up for the final stretch.

Well, because my travel plans have been cancelled and I have a four-day weekend ahead of me, maybe I can actually get some stuff done. We’ll see. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 20 Apr 19

I did a little writing on Chapter 22 of CeleKing3 but strayed into Chapter 31 of Tellus. I’m in more of a bind in terms of lead time with the latter anyway, so I guess I’m just getting an early start on the next cycle. Maybe I just need to let CeleKing3 rest a bit until the inspiration strikes me to get me through to the end. I know the main things that have to happen. It’s just getting to those story beats that’s a problem. More to come. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 18-19 Apr 19

I finished Chapter 24 of CeleKing3 (which is admittedly a rather short chapter) and went back to work on Chapter 22 a bit. I’ve got a bit of writer’s block holding me back, but I’m so close to finishing I just want to push my way through. We’ll see what the weekend brings. Stay tuned.

Apr 17 2019

WIP Update – 15-17 Apr 19

I had a couple slow days, but I managed to finish Chapter 7 of JJ2 and then move on to Chapter 24 of CeleKing3. I’m at a difficult place when it comes to making progress on CeleKing3. I don’t have that much more to go, but actually writing it out is proving to be troublesome. Nothing to it but to do it. Stay tuned.

Mar 14 2019

WIP Update – 14 Mar 19

I managed to finish the new Chapter 19 of CeleKing3 and did some work in the peripheral materials that should help me better visualize what’s going on in Chapters 22 and 24. We’ll see what I get accomplished. Stay tuned.

Mar 13 2019

WIP Update – 13 Mar 19

When I discovered that I’d left out a plot point (in CeleKing3, that is), I had to make a new Chapter 19, which is going to shift the numbers for everything following it. First, I finished the old Chapter 26 (now Chapter 27) and the epilogue, then went back to finish Chapter 15. I also wrote some on the old 21 (new 22), started the new 19, and did a lot of minor tweaks here and there. I just have five chapters to finish and I’ll be done with the book. Right now I’m clocking in at around 50K, so it’s going to be a bit on the light side, but so it goes. I’d like to hit 70K, but I really shouldn’t worry about wordcount as much as I do. Anyway, more to come. Stay tuned.
