WIP Update – 11 Apr 24

I made some progress on Chapter 23 of EM3, not quite making quota but almost finishing the chapter. Just a little bit to go, so I should be able to have it done before the deadline. That’s something. I also was struck by a bit of inspiration, so I believe I have a clear path to the end of the story. Just got to make it to that finish line… so I can start the process up all over again for another book. The fun’s never done. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 10 Apr 24

I made a little progress on Chapter 23 of EM3. It was well short of quota, but I haven’t been meeting quota ever since the journey of reconstruction began. I’ve got to get the chapter done, so I’ll have to pick up the pace. We’ll see what I can do. Stay tuned.

The Road to Reconstruction – Day 34

Work has been keeping me busy, but I did find a little time to get some movie reviews up. I’m on to Page 10 now, so almost halfway there (on the movie reviews, at least). I’ll be trying to slip in what what progress I can when and where I can. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 07 Apr 24

Having to work a fair chunk of Saturday, it felt like I didn’t have any time at all, but after doing the update, I had the burning desire to have at least have accomplished something, so I did some writing on Chapter 20 of TWH. From here, I need to switch gears over to EM3 so I can have next weekend’s update ready (but before that, I still have a review post to make). With work-work, the new season’s viewing, the previous seasons’ backlog, reconstruction efforts on the site, story progress and more, time management is going to be critical in the foreseeable future. No promise on how well I’ll strike the balance. We’ll see what I can do. Stay tuned.

The Road to Reconstruction – Day 33

Just to be clear, this entry is describing Friday’s activities. I accomplished a whole lotta nothin’ yesterday, so much so that I didn’t even find the time to get this entry written. (I lost most of my day to the entrance ceremony and such. Working Saturdays is great.) Anyway, with us gearing up for the new school year, I didn’t have all that much time to focus on the site and only got something like 40 reviews posted. Still, that’s something. I don’t imagine I’ll be able to get a lot accomplished in the next couple weeks, but once things settle down, I should find myself with a bit more time on my hands. Until then, I’ll try to see what I can get done in whatever time is available to me. Stay tuned.

The Road to Reconstruction – Day 32

I got through 50 movie reviews. Because I spent a couple hours on writing, I didn’t get more done. (Also, I slept through the whole daggone evening, though even if I hadn’t been asleep, I probably would’ve been focused more on my anime backlog.) Anyway, I’ll be switching over to the TV section next, though I may not get all that much done because things are starting to get hectic at work. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 04 Apr 24

I finally got around to doing some story writing and got Chapter 19 of TWH pretty well done and ready to go for the weekend update. I’m sure I’ve mentioned it in an earlier post, but I’ve got the remaining chapters plotted out and it’s just a matter of getting them written. I’ll see what I can do on that front. Stay tuned.

The Road to Reconstruction – Day 31

I got the remaining 75 reviews in the shorts section done, so that’s one more section taken care of. I then did some more manga reviews, but only a few as my evening was mostly spent catching up on anime and not the kind I want to be multitasking while watching. (You can look forward to more on that this weekend.) I’ll be cycling back around to the movie reviews, but I need to make some time for actual story writing if I want to get an update out. Stay tuned.

The Road to Reconstruction – Day 30

I only got 50 reviews done, mostly because it was taking so much time to go over the Kimetsu no Yaiba reviews. Then I go to the Fullmetal Alchemist reviews and its much more in line with my other reviews, a quick summary of impressions, generally spoiler-free, rather than what’s basically a full recap. One day I might go in and rewrite more summary-style reviews and make the recaps separate posts. Anyway, I’m going to switch over to the shorts section and hopefully wrap that up. We’ll see how it goes. Stay tuned.

The Road to Reconstruction – Day 29

I was reminded of how much time new review posts take as I’ve restarted updates. As a result, I didn’t spend as much time on restoration work as I would have otherwise, but it’s really high time I start moving things forward. I only got 25 reviews up. It’s something. Anyway, as there are more comic reviews to be done, I’ll go ahead and switch over to that. We’ll see how much progress I can make. Stay tuned.
