As expected, I didn’t have time to accomplish much of anything on Friday, but I was able to put in a respectable day’s quota on Chapter 27 of TWH yesterday. I managed to finish the third sequence of the third scene, so I’ve just gone one more sequence and then what should be the final scene, so getting things finished next week seems highly likely if I can accomplish as much as I have this past week. Maybe I can even get a head-start on the epilogue or even finish it if I really want to get greedy with my wishes. While there are a lot of things I like about TWH, I’ll be glad to be done with it, though I then have to settle on what I’m doing next. This is part of the reason I’m hoping to finish the epilogue next week so that can give me more time to prepare whatever’s next in the chute. Stay tuned.

I managed to make up for Wednesday by doing double quota, getting about halfway through the third main sequence of Chapter 27 of TWH. Even if I repeat this level of progress (which is somewhat unlikely given how busy my Fridays are), I still will probably need another week to finish the chapter, but I’ll see what I can do. Stay tuned.

I didn’t do as well making progress on Chapter 27 of TWH this go-around, but some progress was made all the same. I’ll try to pick up the pace from here. Stay tuned.

I didn’t get a dang thing accomplished Monday (other than watching 1970’s Waterloo, which was excellent), and it didn’t look like I was going to get anything done yesterday either, but after conking out and coming back around, I actually managed to put in a proper day’s quota of work on Chapter 27 of TWH. We’ve got the ball rolling. I don’t know if I’ll make my way to the end by the deadline, but I can sure try. Stay tuned.

I thought I was going to get a little writing on RttW done, but I had a spark of inspiration that consumed the time I had available for writing. As I’ve mentioned before, a lot of my inspiration for stories comes from dreams and I had dozens and dozens of story ideas that may never get developed, but as I was writing down notes for this one, it started snowballing, to the point where I’ve temporarily slotted it into the Else Arc. Once I’ve done a little more legwork, I may launch teasers on the site. We’ll see how things go, but I do need to focus on TWH. Stay tuned.

After I got up in the morning, I started my longshot bid to get Chapter 14 of RttW finished, and while I did make decent progress, once I got past lunchtime, I realized it wasn’t going to be finished in time, so I instead worked toward preparing the review post instead. If I could’ve been making the same rate of progress every day of the week, I probably would’ve been fine, but as you know, that didn’t happen. I’m just going to have to push it down the line while I prepare to take another crack at TWH, which I have even less hope of finishing in time, but I’ll do what I can.

Prompted by the work I was doing in the chapter, I added a few more menu items for the Item list. If you’re the sort who feel that fish and chips are incomplete without mushy peas, well, now it’s an option for you. I haven’t calculated the shelf life for any of these new additions, though. That’s a task for another day. If I can get a little more writing done before switching over, I will. Stay tuned.

My outing and abouting for the day took longer than I anticipated, so it ultimately wasn’t all that different from a normal workday. However, I did make respectable progress on Chapter 14 of RttW. Not enough to finish, mind you, but I’m going to see if I can’t push through to the end in the morning and then post in the evening. It may not happen, but I’ll give it the ol’ college try. Stay tuned.

I did a little better writing on Chapter 14 of RttW, but I just can’t stay awake in the evenings to make the kind of progress I need. It’s immensely frustrating, but I guess there’s just no helping it. Besides the work I did on the chapter, I was also adding some details to the guide about recovery. I also decided to change my mind about Accessories not adding to your Encumbrance, which of course required me to start calculating the weights of the assorted Accessories I’ve designed so far. This has now caused the weaker Rookies to be overencumbered, but I decided that Pawel would just haul the extra weight.

Another concept I decided to develop was a plan system for accommodations. Basically, any inn run by members of the Hostellers’ Guild (which is going to be most of them) set a standard for different levels of amenities and such that they offer and the rates to go with them. This way guests can expect relatively consistent offerings wherever they go, which is especially important for higher-end clientele, but it’s of course particularly handy for the widely-travelled Adventurers.

Anyway, I’ve taken Friday off to attend to some business. Once that’s taken care of, maybe I can use the rest of the time to push onward to the end of the chapter. It’d be nice. Stay tuned.

I can’t stand it. Here I was trying to focus on getting the writing done, the mascot was only being mildly pesty, and I go and pass out for four friggin’ hours. >_> A couple years back, I had a spell where I was able to nap for a few hours, then write for a couple hours and then go to bed, but that trick sure isn’t working now. Well, it is what is.

Getting a whopping one paragraph on Chapter 14 of RttW written isn’t going to get me to the finish line, but I’ll continue to hope for a turnaround. Wish me luck. Stay tuned.

Tuesdays are just as busy as my Fridays, so that left me with the evening as my only time to write, and the office productivity specialist wasn’t having it. I did manage to write a little bit on Chapter 14 of RttW, but more time was spent on calculating the Stamina expenditure of the Rookies and doing some work in the guide. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. Stay tuned.
