WIP Update – 17 Aug 18

I finished Chapter 17 of TG and started in on Chapter 18. I’ve managed to prove to myself that I can in fact meet my targets if I hold myself to it while still doing most of my usual frittering. Now if I can just stay on the wagon, I’ll be doing good. If I got really ambitious, I’d up my daily quota to 1000 words. If I did that, I could be finishing around four novels a year. Wouldn’t that be something?

Let’s focus on consistently delivering the minimum first before we start raising the bar, shall we? More to come. Stay tuned.

I managed to move further along in Chapter 17 of TG. I almost have it finished. Wrote above quote again, so feeling good about that. Yes, it shouldn’t be remarkable, but as of late, you know how it’s been. Anyway, more to come. Stay tuned.

I didn’t just make quota. I doubled it for a change, making up for the past two days’ shortfall. Yes, I shouldn’t be so happy about doing the minimum level I’ve set out for myself, but after a long run of not even doing that much, it feels good even to do that little. And so I’m almost done with Chapter 17 of TG. I’m a little stuck on how I want this scene to play out. Path A feels like a more natural flow of events, but it makes things a lot more complicated. Path B allows things to move forward smoother but I have a hard time believing it would work out that way. Maybe I’ll just let the characters do the work. It’ll play out how they play it and then I’ll have to make the next step happen. Perhaps you’ll hear how it went tomorrow. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 14 Aug 18

More progress in Chapter 17 of TG. Still under par. But, hey, I got to the endgame scenario in Dragon Force, though I don’t think Junon and Leon are at a high enough level to beat Grace and my last save is right before everyone heads off to Ruin Ridge. If I hadn’t already beaten the game all eight times, that might be distressing. Anyway, back to the task at hand. Need to focus, get those 500 words in. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 13 Aug 18

I made some progress on Chapter 17 of TG. It was only about half quota, but given how little I tend to write on my days off, I’m thankful for even that much progress. I didn’t block off dedicated writing time like I planned, so I need to make a point to do that in the coming days. More to come. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 29-30 Jul 18

All I got done on Saturday was catch up on my transcriptions, so no progress to note there. I had a good opportunity to make some headway Sunday, but I mostly frittered away my free time and only made some minor edits to Chapter 9 of CeleKing3 as I was planning to start there and close up the current gaps in the narrative between Chapters 9 and 12.

I decided to go ahead and switch over to Tellus after that, but I was too tired to get much writing done and I couldn’t rightly remember where I left off in Chapter 14 anyway, but when I did pick it back up, I wrote a little bit, not really enough to warrant mention, but I’m mentioning it anyway as it beats having any larger of a gap in these updates.

Maybe I can turn it around, but don’t hold your breath. You’ve heard this song and dance from me before. We’ll see what happens, though. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 26 Jul 18

More progress on Chapter 12 of CeleKing3. More to come. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 25 Jul 18

I made some further minor progress on Chapter 12 of CeleKing3. It’s barely worth mentioning, but given how much I was struggling against conking out while writing it, I’m going to mention it anyway. Hopefully I can pick up the pace and meet quota before the week’s out. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 24 Jul 18

I inched along a little more in Chapter 12 of CeleKing3. I really shouldn’t bring my smartphone to work. I don’t hardly get any writing done that way. Well, more to come. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 23 Jul 18

I wrote a little on Chapter 12 of CeleKing3. I’ve jumped around so much that it’s a little hard to keep things straight when I’m away from my computer, but I guess that’s part of the fun. More to come. Stay tuned.
