So I went to work knocking out Chapter 34 of JJ2. I’m probably on a watchlist for my research into plane crashes, explosives and the women of the Mughal Empire, but these is the price you have to pay for the sake of your craft. I then returned to Chapter 35 and got so wrapped up in it that I forgot that it was Chapter 34 that was coming out this week and was feeling pressure for the deadline. How wonderful to actually be ahead of the game for a change. Eagle-eyed readers will notice that the story has been expanded by two chapters. I decided to split up the events of Chapter 35 to give each more time to breathe and stand on their own.

Most of Saturday was spent working on the schedule of the Peace Line. This sort of thing is even more fun when you’re working on a completely different time scale than Earth. (Recall that Miravel has 28-hour days and 460-day, 16-month years.) I started to go cross-eyed after a while and I’m not even halfway done with one of the four main circuits.

I’ll probably fiddle around with JJ2 a little bit more before switching over to EM2 in preparation for the next update. More to come. Stay tuned.

This is what happens when you stop updating every day (or close to it). You forget stuff. I’d like to think I did at least some writing between where the last entry left off and where this one picks up, but I only have a clear recollection from Tuesday, so that’s what we’ll go with. If I did, in fact, not get any writing done since the previous Wednesday, I pretty well made up for lost time working on Chapter 16 of KniTwi. As of the time of this writing, I’ve finished the chapter and put it up on the site, but I’ll get into that more in the next entry. It’s time to get back to JJ2. Stay tuned.

I continued to write a bit more on the epilogue of EM2 before going over to knock out Chapter 11 for this week’s update and then starting on Chapter 12. Progress was put on hold after that as I had to ramp up my job hunting efforts. I’ve got quite a few plates to keep spinning until I’m sure I have something locked in, but once I get som breathing room, I’ll head over to KniTwi to resume work there. More to come. Stay tuned.

I guess I haven’t been posted here in a while. Well, let’s get everyone up to speed. I finished Chapter 33 of JJ2, then jumped ahead to Chapter 35 before going back to get Chapter 34 started. Also, because of a bit of inspiration, I jumped well ahead and did a bit of EM2’s epilogue.

Speaking of EM2, I finally got the story all plotted. Yes, I know that should be done before you start, but I’ve been doing a lot more on-the-fly writing these days. Feeling particularly rudderless on this one, I finally just sat down and powered my way through the story. And now that that’s done, I can drive on ahead. More to come. Stay tuned.
