Between bouts of unconsciousness, I almost made quota working on Chapter 22 of EM3. If I could actually stay awake, I might be advancing leaps and bounds. Also, I’m getting close to wrapping up the latest round of checking papers, which should help give me a little more time for writing as well. Anything to move things along, right? Stay tuned.

Right when I was going to start writing Monday evening, the mascot insisted that I go to bed. Apparently someone told her that I had to get up earlier than usual the next morning because of our school’s entrance exams. I didn’t think I was going to fare any better yesterday when I conked out right in the middle of the evening, but I was able to get a second wind and got some writing done on Chapter 22 of EM3. Not quite meeting quota (as I conked out again), but more than what I wrote Sunday. Baby steps, I suppose. Anyway, we’ll see what I can get done from here on out. Stay tuned.

As you can see, I’ve been out of action for a while. Now, part of this wasn’t unexpected. I don’t usually manage to get any writing done when I go back to the States. (I suppose I have less excuse for not doing any writing while spending 20 hours on the road, but so it goes.) I was hit with a cold at the end of my trip and spent a good chunk of last week trying to bounce back from that while also dealing with the hustle and bustle of the new term starting. Fun, fun, fun.

Amid a whole lot of anime viewing, I managed to find some time to do some editing of Chapter 21 of EM3 and then start in on Chapter 22. It’s well short of the daily quota, but at least it’s something. The ball is rolling and I’ve just got to keep it rolling. We’ll see how it goes. Stay tuned.
