It’s funny. The bonus points you get for multi-battles in GBF are a small piece of the overall puzzle, but when I hit my weekly cap, it sucked out all my interest in the game for the time being. (The new event starting Monday and the Legend Fes will get me right back in the mix, of course.) Anyway, I bring this up because it provided the grand opportunity to make some rather brisk progress on Chapter 5 of CeleKing1. There’s a big fight scene I was looking forward to and I manage to push all the way through it. Good stuff. I should be able to finish Chapter 5 at least, but I’m going to try to wrap Chapter 6 as well. Stay tuned.

Made more progress on Chapter 5 of CeleKing1, meeting quota but not exceeding it like I need to so I can’t make up for the sluggish start of the week. Well, at least things are moving forward. Stay tuned.

Well, getting the update together took longer than anticipated, so I didn’t have as much time as I was hoping to get writing done. It didn’t help that a sizable portion of the previous day’s progress was lost when I accidentally shut down my computer instead of putting it to sleep. (I usually save reflexively, but not always.) Anyway, I ultimately succeeded in little more than making up for lost progress, but I did get further along in the plotline of the chapter. That’s Chapter 5 of CeleKing1, of course. (Have to mention it in the event one of these posts is viewed in isolation.) We’ll see if I can’t turn things around. Stay tuned.

Once again, I got a late start on my writing and nodded off before making that much progress, but it was at least half quota into Chapter 5 of CeleKing1. So if I can just double quota, I’ll be back on track. In my defense, I have had a lot going on. I’m about to relocate again, so there’s a lot of legwork that goes into that. Well, let’s see how far I can get in the next go-around. Stay tuned.

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.
