I made more progress on Chapter 18 of TG, a little under quota but thank to my work earlier in the week, I ended up with nearly 4K, so I’m doing just fine there. Now it’s time to switch back to Tellus. Chapter 16 is a rather important point in the story, so I’m looking forward to writing that. Have to finish 15 first, though. Stay tuned.

I’ve made some more progress on Chapter 18 of TG. I doubt I’ll finish it before switching over, but hopefully I at least continue to meet quota. More to come. Stay tuned.

I finished Chapter 17 of TG and started in on Chapter 18. I’ve managed to prove to myself that I can in fact meet my targets if I hold myself to it while still doing most of my usual frittering. Now if I can just stay on the wagon, I’ll be doing good. If I got really ambitious, I’d up my daily quota to 1000 words. If I did that, I could be finishing around four novels a year. Wouldn’t that be something?

Let’s focus on consistently delivering the minimum first before we start raising the bar, shall we? More to come. Stay tuned.

I managed to move further along in Chapter 17 of TG. I almost have it finished. Wrote above quote again, so feeling good about that. Yes, it shouldn’t be remarkable, but as of late, you know how it’s been. Anyway, more to come. Stay tuned.

I didn’t just make quota. I doubled it for a change, making up for the past two days’ shortfall. Yes, I shouldn’t be so happy about doing the minimum level I’ve set out for myself, but after a long run of not even doing that much, it feels good even to do that little. And so I’m almost done with Chapter 17 of TG. I’m a little stuck on how I want this scene to play out. Path A feels like a more natural flow of events, but it makes things a lot more complicated. Path B allows things to move forward smoother but I have a hard time believing it would work out that way. Maybe I’ll just let the characters do the work. It’ll play out how they play it and then I’ll have to make the next step happen. Perhaps you’ll hear how it went tomorrow. Stay tuned.

More progress in Chapter 17 of TG. Still under par. But, hey, I got to the endgame scenario in Dragon Force, though I don’t think Junon and Leon are at a high enough level to beat Grace and my last save is right before everyone heads off to Ruin Ridge. If I hadn’t already beaten the game all eight times, that might be distressing. Anyway, back to the task at hand. Need to focus, get those 500 words in. Stay tuned.

I made some progress on Chapter 17 of TG. It was only about half quota, but given how little I tend to write on my days off, I’m thankful for even that much progress. I didn’t block off dedicated writing time like I planned, so I need to make a point to do that in the coming days. More to come. Stay tuned.

I finally managed to finish Chapter 14 of Tellus and started in on Chapter 15. However, I need to switch gears and work on TG a bit. My buffer there is starting to grow thin. We’ll see how much I can get done this week. Stay tuned.

What little time I was focused on the story Thursday was mostly devoted to recalculating the vital statistics of the Ral’gha. I decided that by having them mostly human-sized, they were too small, but if I made them the same size as their animal counterparts, they’d be too big, so I went for something in the middle. After all, if a Catman is nearly as big as an Ogre, you have to wonder how humans can successfully enslave them. (It wouldn’t be impossible, but it’d be harder to sell.)

Anyway, on to actual writing. I’m still on Chapter 14 of Tellus, but I’ve finally gotten through the action setpiece that’s been holding things up so long. Now I just have to finish it out and move on. I’m thinking of making a point of blocking off some time during the break next week to ensure I get writing done, hopefully getting back on quota. Stay tuned.

Oh, hey. I didn’t fall off the face of the Earth after all. No, I haven’t been doing much writing lately. Goofing off as usual. I did, however, manage to buckle down a bit (not having my smartphone with me at work helps a lot) and made some progress on Chapter 14 of Tellus. I do need to build up my buffer or I’m going to get overtaken. I’ve got the rest of the week and all next week off, but we all know that free time rarely equates to productivity with me. We’ll see what I can get done, though. Stay tuned.
