The Road to Reconstruction – Day 46

I continued to make progress in Page 5 of the comic section and because I’m fairly close to finishing it, I think I’ll get to the end of before moving on to the movie section as I mentioned last time. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 14 May 24

I only managed about a quarter quota continuing along in Chapter 24 of EM3. I’ll admit to getting a bit stuck again, but maybe I can make up for lost time once I get back on track. Stay tuned.

The Road to Reconstruction – Day 45

I continued working on the comic section, finishing Page 4 and digging into Page 5. If I hadn’t ran out of gas in the evening, I might’ve gotten through Haganai. I think I’ll spend another day on the comics section before switching back over to the movie section. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 13 May 24

I made more progress in Chapter 24 of EM3. By my estimates, I’ll be done in another two or three days. That’s if I can maintain the current pace, so here’s to me not tripping before the finish line. Stay tuned.

The Road to Reconstruction – Day 44

I made some more progress on the comic section. I would’ve liked to finish Page 4, but I fell short of that goal. I did, at least, restore all the coverage of Girlfriend, Girlfriend, so that counts as some sort of milestone, right? Well, even if I’m just making a little progress at a time, a step forward is a step forward. I really want to get the reviews finished so I can turn my attention to fighting with the code. Still, content first and then the look. Stay tuned.

The Road to Reconstruction – Day 43

I decided to mix work on the site and my work-work so I could make progress in both and got about halfway through Page 4 of the comic review section. I haven’t quite been able to maintain the quota goals, but that’s true on the writing side of things as well.

For a while last year, instead of sleeping straight through the night like usual, I would sleep an hour two, do as much work as I could until I either needed to repeat the cycle or I met my goals for the day. I may need to revive that. I obviously can’t slack off on my day job as I need to put food on the table, but I need to up productivity on the site side of things as well. Perhaps mid-term week will open up some opportunities to get a leg up. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 10 May 24

I made some more progress on Chapter 24 of EM3, but I didn’t get to finish it like I wanted because the mascot sent me to bed. At this rate, I can’t imagine making the deadline. If I can somehow manage to finish the chapter tomorrow, I’ll just shift the release schedule by a day. Otherwise, I’ll have to postpone for a week. We’ll see what happens. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 09 May 24

I only made a little progress on Chapter 24 of EM3. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I’ve been swamped with work-work lately, so I have less time to steal for writing. I was actually in the office until they were ready to lock up the building. Still, right when I was settling in to focus on some writing back at the ranchero, I conk out. Dagnabbit. You see, I got hung up on diplomatic protocol in Bonaventure and was trying to figure that out when Somnus assailed me. Other than establishing the reigns of the Princes of Bonaventure, I hadn’t paid much thought to how the Principality’s government worked until now. I decided to model it on that of the Republic of Venice, but of course that meant I had to do research and I was deep down that rabbit hole when the day’s efforts came to an end. At this rate, I don’t know if I’ll be able to meet my deadline, but maybe I can turn things around. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 08 May 24

I very nearly made quota working on Chapter 24 of EM3. I still have a good ways to go before the chapter is finished, so I’m going to have to buckle down in the time I have available to me, which admittedly isn’t all that much. At least I have the scene pretty well realized in my mind, so all I’ve got to do is commit it to the page. I’ll try not to get lost down too many rabbit holes in the meantime. Stay tuned.

The Road to Reconstruction – Day 42

I did some work on the TV reviews section and managed to finish Page 4. Next time I get some reconstruction done, I’ll be focusing on the comics section. Stay tuned.
