I did a little tweaking to Chapter 7 of RttW but not much writing yet, though I only have to finish one scene to get it ready to go. I also fiddled around a bit with Child of Promise, which I’ve decided is going to be what takes EM3’s slot. More to come. Stay tuned.

There isn’t much progress to speak of, but something’s better than nothing after the recent drought. Last week, I started off pretty well, only to fall off once work picked up and my energy levels went down. I won’t make excuses, as it’s as much circumstances beyond my control as it is bad habits that have been gumming up the work. Anyway, I did a little writing on Colony Flipper (and I mean very little), spending more time researching prisons (which is relevant to the story). You might think it’s a case of creator provincialism that I use a more American-style prison system, but following a cursory look at several countries’ prison systems, when it comes to giving a bit of a dystopian feel, the American model ended up being the most appropriate. Norwegian day camp resorts didn’t quite strike me as the Empire’s style. Well, I definitely have to do some writing on RttW next week if I want to meet my deadline and since it’s midterms week, that should be easy enough to accomplish. If I can finish the chapter that needs to go out and the next one to give myself some breathing room, maybe I can hop onto TWH to ensure Chapter 21 is actually ready to go when its turn comes up again the week after next. We’ve got our goal. Now we just need to make it happen. Stay tuned.
