I made more progress on Chapter 5 of CeleKing1, under quota because it was so late when I started writing and I kept nodding off. I’ll try to get an earlier start this time around and make up for lost time. Stay tuned.

Hey, how ’bout that? I actually made quota for a change. Made some headway in Chapter 5 of CeleKing1. Another couple days and I should have it finished. I’d like to at least get it and Chapter 6 done this week. As I haven’t figured out what the plot of Chapter 7 is yet, I can’t very well put too much hope of getting it done as well, but figuring out what I’m going to do there might be a manageable goal. Stay tuned.

Yes, yes, I know. My efforts to refocus haven’t quite been successful. Although progress on the actual story was negligible, I’ve at least got more of it plotted out and have most of the locations set. I’m going to go ahead and devote another week to CeleKing1 before moving on.

As far as yesterday is concerned, I could’ve probably made up for lost time, but I’ve got a job offer in that’ll be taking me from my manga collection, which means I need to get as much of my manga review backlog written up as possible. It’s slow going, though. It took me six hours just to go through ten volumes.

I’m going to once again try to square myself away and meet quota this week. I know I’ve been falling short a good while now, but I think all these gaps in the blog are starting to get to me. Stay tuned.

I’ll admit to not getting more than a sentence or two written on Chapter 5 of CeleKing1, but I have been making headway on the story’s outline. Unfortunately, it’s the latter half that I have mostly plotted out, which doesn’t help me much in the short term. Still, it’s progress and worth reporting. I know it won’t really have much impact on the story itself, but I’ve been working on naming all the noble houses on Erdi. That’s 1152 families. I was using the Baixing as a starting point, but even if there were more than the hundred in its name, it’s still well short of my goal. About 30% of the lords are non-Chinese and I figure several of the more common surnames will have multiple branch houses that have informal qualifiers to distinguish them (the ducal “Great Li” vs. the comital “Southern Li”, etc.). Then there are the toponyms. I’d like to at least have the map filled out to the county level, and there are 223 of those. You may consider this all to be a distraction from the actual writing of the story, but these are the measures I take for worldbuilding. Hopefully I can make more progress and catch up on my quota shortfall. (It doesn’t hurt that I’m already bored with this week’s event of GBF and that my hands can’t hold up to too much Hyrule All-Stars. ) Stay tuned.

I made a little more progress on Chapter 5 of CeleKing1, but at this rate I’m going to be lucky to meet the weekly quota, to say nothing of the 10K challenge. It’s a bit frustrating, yes, but there is a fair bit of stuff I’m trying to get together before my business trip next week (and, let’s be honest, I’m wasting a fair bit of time taking advantage of the half AP special on team battles in GBF in a bid to open up the extra job classes). We’ll see what I can’t get accomplished, though. Stay tuned.

I decided to jump ahead and do a little writing on Chapter 6 of CeleKing1. Things aren’t looking too good for the 10K challenge, but it’s not over yet. Stay tuned.

I made more progress on Chapter 5 of CeleKing1. Maybe m growth is exponential rather than linear. I’ll almost need it to be to meet my goal. I can forgive you if you’re not feeling particularly optimistic. You never know, though. Stay tuned.

Well, the 10K challenge isn’t going so well. I made a little progress on Chapter 5 of CeleKing1, but I’m still well behind the power curve. I may yet turn it around, though. It’s still early in the week and if I have a burst of inspiration, 10K is no great challenge. We’ll see what happens. Stay tuned.

Okay. All these days of little to no progress are driving me up the wall. This is why I’ve instituted a 10K challenge. The goal is to write 10K words of CeleKing1 by the end of the week. I’m not off to a great start as I’ve only written 500 words so far, but I did at least manage to finish Chapter 4 and start in on Chapter 5. I’ve got a long way to go, but we’ll see if I can’t turn things around. However the week turns out, though, I’ll be moving on to TCotSL next week. Stay tuned.

I made a little progress on Chapter 4 of CeleKing1, but not nearly as much as I would’ve like or should’ve done. Well, there’s still time yet to make up for lost time. Stay tuned.
