WIP Update – 31 Mar 25
I’m not sure why I decided to do it, but I was going back and checking the Korushi Calendar. I was worried about errors having crept into my work, so I decided to change the layout to make it easier to check. Instead of 12 rows of 10, I switched to 10 rows of 12 and finally five rows of 24 to more conveniently display the leap year cycles. (Remember that because I’m a loony, I created a system where there are three different cycles of leap years that all have to be accounted for in a 13-month year that doesn’t follow the same easy to remember pattern as our calendar.) Sure enough, errors started to be found out, but as I would make one round of corrections, I’d find new errors. It was driving me crazy. I was wanting to preserve the year the story takes place, so I’d have to make changes backwards and forwards through each pass. I’m still in the middle of the third pass and will probably at least finish the six years I have to go back. The funny thing is that the particular error I found was occurring at convenient 10-year intervals, where I mistakenly had the month of Arn at 28 days instead of 27. I’d probably just copied from the previous month and forgot to delete the “28”.
With this driving me right up the walls, going to the encyclopedia to write about different governmental systems and such. I’ll spare you the details for now, though. One day I’ll get the wiki up and going and you can read all about it there. Anyway, as I said, I want to at least finish my corrections to the calendar back to the starting point and then I think I’ll actually try to get some writing done on RttW. Stay tuned.
