Were it not for the updates to the site, you might be forgiven for thinking I dropped off the face of the earth. Well, not quite. Last week my every spare moment was devoted to the translation project I was working on and until yesterday, there was a lot of family brouhaha to keep me occupied. I finally was able to focus and get a little writing done, making some headway in Chapter 4 of CeleKing1. Another round should see the chapter completed, but I’m still flapping in the wind when it comes to plotting out the rest of the story. Something else I should devote my time to. In the peripheral materials, I’ve apportioned the noble houses of Erdi, but most of them have yet to be named (little surprise when I’m talking about over a thousand families). I’ll see if I can’t get the week’s quota knocked out over the weekend. Stay tuned.

I made far less progress than what I was hoping to make. I wrote a little bit on Chapter 4 of CeleKing1 and did a little work in the peripheral materials, but that’s well short of the mark. I really need to dedicate more time to brainstorm my way forward and things should come together more. I was having some Internet issues last night as well, but that’s only a small part of the problem. It’s time to switch back to TTWC3. Hopefully I can actually start making progress there and get it finished up in the next couple cycles. I just have one chapter of Urgill’s section to finish, then I have to do Mab and Akasame’s sections and I’ll be done. If I can make decent headway, two cycles should be enough. We’ll see. Stay tuned.

I actually managed to make par for a change, but that leaves me with a long way to go if I mean to catch up. I’ve made more headway in Chapter 4 of CeleKing1 and don’t have far to go to finish it, but I need to figure out where I’m going from there. I’d considered making parallels with The Odyssey, but I don’t think that’s a great fit thematically. I may actually do something akin to a “monster of the week” approach, but I haven’t committed to the idea yet. We’ll see if I can’t get things sorted out. Stay tuned.

I did a little more writing on Chapter 4 of CeleKing1. Well under par for the day, to say nothing of catching up for lost time, but I managed to wrap up work-work for the week and I’m starting to run out of steam on my GBF playthrough, so hopefully that translates to more time for writing. We’ll see. Stay tuned.

After wasting a good chunk of the day trying to jury-rig a linkup between my PC GBF game and Tales of Asteria for the collabo event, I found myself starting to realize what a pointless endeavor it is. Not quite there yet. I may yet try a bit more in a vain effort to add Milla Maxwell to my roster, but I’m close to giving it up. As my annoyance rose, I did think about how much more fulfilling that time would have be spent if were writing instead. I did do a little work on Chapter 4 of CeleKing1 so I wouldn’t feel like I’d accomplished nothing at all. Instead, I’ve managed to accomplish very little. That’s something. Maybe I can pick up the pace. We’ll see. Stay tuned.

I did a little writing on Chapter 4 of CeleKing1, but most of the time I earmarked for writing was spent on research and the peripheral materials. Those are important, too, so it’s not like the time was wasted. Now it’s time to switch over to TTWC3 and actually make some progress this go-around. Stay tuned.

I skipped another day but then made up for it by powering through Chapter 2 of CeleKing1. I’ve already written enough to meet the week’s quota, so anything after this point is a bonus. The book won’t start serialization until November, so if I can at least get halfway through before then, I’ll be good. That seems entirely probable. Just gotta stick with it. Stay tuned.

Though I went a couple days without progress (other than more catching up on the review backlog), I more than made up for it during yesterday’s roadtrip, finishing Chapters 1 and 3 of CeleKing1 and making considerable progress on Chapter 2, some 3K words in total. If I could finish Chapter 2 and possibly Chapter 4 before the weekend’s out, that’d be good. I’d then have to figure out exactly where the story goes from there, so maybe I should devote a little time to better defining the plot. Stay tuned.

I missed two days, largely as part of an effort to take advantage of the boosted gatcha drop rate in GBF. Didn’t get much out of it, though. I made progress on Chapter 1 of CeleKing1. Not enough to make up for the lost time but good progress all the same. I’m supposed to switch over to TTWC3, but I may spend a little more time with CeleKing1 first. Stay tuned.

I finished the prologue of CeleKing1 and made more progress on Chapter 1. I never thought I’d be managing a brothel, but fiction can take you to strange places. (It’ll make sense once the story comes out.) If I can get through the chapter before the weekend’s out, I’ll call it good. I think I’ve devised a scheme that’ll make it easier to plot the story out, but I need to spend time on that too. Stay tuned.
