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.

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.
