I made a little more progress on the epilogue of EM3. Probably another day or two of work and I’ll have it done. Stay tuned.

I finished Page 15 of the movie section (which included going over my mini-essays for the Star Wars series) and started in on Page 16. Just have to keep on chugging along. Stay tuned.

I made a little progress on Page 15 of the movie section. I probably would’ve finished the page, but I was also spending time writing, which I suppose should be my priority. Anyway, I’ll keep at it in the days to come. Stay tuned.

I finished Chapter 26 of EM3 and started on the epilogue. Just a little bit more to go. I need to figure out what I’ll be working on next. Stay tuned.

I did some writing on Chapter 26 of EM3. Probably another day is all it’ll take to finish that and then it’s on to the epilogue. Here’s to wrapping things up by the end of the week. Stay tuned.

I was able to finish Chapter 25 of EM3 at long last. Rather than switching over to the next story in the rotation, I’m going to continue to work on EM3 this week with the intention of finishing it. That will leave me covered for three cycles (counting this week) and give me a little lead time to work on whatever’s coming next. While the part of me that thinks about wordcount finds this one coming up a bit short, so long as I remain a web novelist, it really doesn’t matter. Ultimately, I’ve always been of the opinion that a novel should be no longer and no shorter than the story requires. Anyway, I’ve got the task before me and now I just have to do it. Stay tuned.

It has been too dang long, but I finally had a spark of inspiration that allowed me move forward in the stories I’m currently serializing. You see I knew what I wanted to happen in Chapter 25 of EM3, but I kept getting bogged down with the details, which was getting in the way of me actually getting started. You see, I was actually going to be rewinding time a bit from where we left off in Chapter 24, so you could see what Mordekai was talking about as it unfolded. However, as I said, I was getting stuck on the details of how to make it work. Well, I decided to do away with the rewind and just continue from the present. It’s a bit cheap of me, I know, but oftentimes the best way to navigate an obstacle is to go around it. I managed to get almost 1000 words written, and the chapter has at most another 25% to go, probably less. The release will still have to wait until next week, but at least I’ll have it ready by then. At this point, my estimate is that the book will clock in around 50K words, which is a bit lighter than I’d like, but seeing as how I’m not currently pursuing traditional publication in the US market, it’s not something I need to worry about all that much. (Just wait and see if I ever get around to translating my work and trying to pitch it here in Japan, only to be told my stuff is too long for a light novel. Of course, for longer light novels, they tend to split it up into two or three parts, so that shouldn’t be a problem.) Anyway, now that I’m making progress again, I’m feeling pretty good. Now if I can only keep it up. Stay tuned.

I managed to meet my goal of finishing the comics section, so now I just have to get through the movie section and all the reviews will be back up.

A coworker of mine watched the original House on Haunted Hill the other day, which prompted me to check my own review and realize there was no “The” in the title, so I had to go in and correct all the entries, so that counts for a bit of work on the movie section. It kinda reminds me of the time I realized there was a “The” in The Quintessential Quintuplets. And here I thought I had something for the Q section of the alphabetical list… A stitch in time saves nine, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and all that stuff…

Anyway, if I can average about a page a day, I should only need eight days to finish the reviews. I don’t expect to make any progress over the weekend, but who knows? I may find myself less than eager to get my tail whipped in Unicorn Overlord and may opt to do something else instead. We’ll see what happens. Stay tuned.

I finished with Page 9 of the comics section and got partway into Page 10. Another day and I should be able to have the section finished, so yay for that. Stay tuned.

I didn’t have as much time to work on it, but I did proceed a bit in Page 9 of the comics section. As you can probably tell, I’m going ahead with wrapping the section as I don’t have that much more to go. With summer vacation coming up, during my obligatory half-days in the office, I should be able to get through the movie section in relatively short order and then I can fight with the code to get things properly squared away, and we’ll be pretty well done with the reconstruction efforts. We’re well behind schedule, but that’s nothing new in these parts. Work to do, work to do. Stay tuned.
