WIP Update – 20 May 16

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.

WIP Update – 18 May 16

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.

WIP Update – 01 May 16

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.

WIP Update – 27-28 Apr 16

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.

WIP Update – 26 Apr 16

I made a little more progress on the prologue of CeleKing1. Another day’s work and I’ll have it done. Not much more to say at the moment. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 25 Apr 16

I made a little progress on the prologue of CeleKing1, under par but still more than I usually accomplish on Mondays. I’d like to finish the prologue and Chapter 1 this week, but more than that, I’d like to get the outline sketched out. We’ll see how far I can get. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 20 Sep 15

On a whim, I decided to reread what I’ve written on the CeleKing series and did some writing on Chapter 1 of CeleKing1. Maybe I’ll have to pencil in a week for it, but for now, I’m going to try to get another couple chapters of JJ knocked out. If I can have JJ and EM up through Chapter 6 at least before they kick off in three weeks, I’ll be in good shape. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 13 Sep 15

Again I wound up working on Tzipi’s Garden instead of TTWC3, but a new week’s starting and hopefully I can redirect my focus. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 12 Sep 15

I’ll admit it. I only wrote a couple paragraphs on Simona’s Chapter 4 of TTWC3. Normally that wouldn’t be enough to warrant a post, but I did spend an inordinate amount of time putting together the family tree of the Redgrave royal family for Tzipi’s Garden. That warrants mention, I believe. It was somewhat nightmarish to craft because there are basically six noble families that intermarry generation after generation. I know it’s fairly plausible given a historical view of the aristocracy, but that’s a lot of dang incest. -_- Because I strayed from the beaten path in the latter half of the week, I think I’ll stick with TTWC3 and try to round out Simona’s section. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 11 Sep 15

I know I said I was going to work on TTWC2, but I worked on Tzipi’s Garden instead. Doing quite a bit in the peripheral materials but also some writing on the story itself. What can I say? I had an image of a character flossing her dragon’s teeth and had to see it through. Anyway, we’ll see if I can at least get Simona’s Chapter 4 done before the weekend’s out. Stay tuned.
