I did a little writing on Chapters 1 and 3. I’m starting to spin my tires a bit on the latter, trying to decide how many variations of “Yasuko is ill-adapted for life in Celestial society” are worth doing. I’ll probably cap it at three and call it good. Finishing Chapter 1 is the main objective for the weekend, so we’ll see how that goes. Stay tuned.

I went on to finish the second section of Chapter 2 of CeleKing1 and started in on Chapter 3. I’m honestly rather antsy to get to Chapter 7, where the action begins in earnest. That’s not going to happen this cycle, but if I can finish Chapter 4 by the end of the weekend, I imagine I’ll make it there next cycle. Stay tuned.

I managed to knock out the first section of Chapter 2 of CeleKing2. (I thought I was done with the chapter, but it turns out I accidentally moved content from the second half to Chapter 3. I was wondering why I didn’t have those two scenes in the same chapter and then I see they were supposed to be together all along.) Besides going through Chapter 1 and filling it in this weekend, I also should sit down and work out how to fill the gaps in the story. I have most of the story accounted for, but there are still a few chapters I need to figure out and others I need to clarify. Things to do, things to do. Stay tuned.

I made more progress in Chapter 1 of CeleKing2, up to the point that it’ll be difficult to proceed while matching offline material to what I’ve already written. I’ll probably just move on and then pick up the rest of the chapter over the weekend. Stay tuned.

I managed to get through the prologue of CeleKing2 and start in on Chapter 1. Because I’ve already done quite a bit of writing later in the story, it actually feels a little weird going back to the beginning. Well, filling in the gaps I’ve left in the narrative will all be part of the fun. Stay tuned.

Well, I’m calling it. I put the finishing touches on the epilogue of CeleKing1 and that’s that. My 14th novel is complete. It all feels like it went by really quickly, but I guess that’s not necessarily a bad thing given all the projects in my cue.
I promptly went on to do a little work in the prologue of CeleKing2, but the real work won’t begin until next cycle. I’ve already got about 10K written on that book, so if its predecessor is any indication, that means about 50K more to go. (Honestly, I don’t even have the thing fully plotted yet, so that’s work to be done.)
Anyway, now it’s back to TSoA1. We’ll see how far I can get this week. Because I have Friday off, my schedule’s been compressed a bit, so I won’t have quite as much time for writing as usual. I should still be able to make decent headway, though. Stay tuned.

I spent most of the day just transcribing all my handwritten work, so I didn’t get much new writing done, though I did finish the dialog for the epilogue of CeleKing1. I just need to fill in a little of the narrative and I’ll be done. There will be some additional polish and revisions added later, but the work will be mostly done. I won’t quite announce the deal’s done yet, but we’re close. Stay tuned.

I managed to pretty well wrap Chapter 24 of CeleKing1 and get about halfway into the epilogue. One more push and I should be done. Because I’ve been playing so much BotW, I haven’t been transcribing my handwritten work, so I ended up spending all evening transcribing and still haven’t got it all on the computer yet. More fun to come. Stay tuned.

I continued on in Chapter 24 of CeleKing1. I almost have it finished, which means that all I have left is the epilogue. If not today, then definitely over the weekend I’ll be wrapping things up. Is everyone looking forward to it? I thought so. Stay tuned.

I managed to finish up Chapter 23 of CeleKing1 and start in on Chapter 24. Chapter 24 should be quite a bit shorter, so it may just take one more day to finish it. Stay tuned.
