I’ve totally dropped the ball on these updates. Remember back when I did this on a daily basis? Maybe I need to get back into that habit. Anyway, looking back on the previous month, I did some work on Chapter 19 of NagaTen and finished Chapter 12 of TWH. I also did more work on the scenario of that DnD campaign I’ve been talking about (which, by the by, we didn’t even finish the character creation phase).
From the time this entry cuts off to present, I haven’t done any story writing. Whatever time I’ve had on my computer, I’ve mostly spent on compiling a 5e rulebook from available online sources. You can decide if this is a worthwhile use of my time or not (especially if my nieces decide the whole DnD thing is too boring to continue), but I would point out that this research will help me refine the game system of the WttW series, and it’ll play directly into both Dimwald and the GM and my potential project with the scenario I’ve been writing for the campaign.
Anyway, I’ll be getting back into the saddle with NagaTen this week. I’d like to at least finish Chapter 19. Stay tuned.

It would seem I forgot to make a post last week, so I’ve got two weeks of progress to get everyone caught up on. The week of Thanksgiving was actually pretty good for me as far as writing was concerned. Despite not having made much progress in a good while, I was able to get through Chapter 15 of EM3 (which was fairly short, to be honest) and then do most of Chapter 16 (which is significantly longer). Not a bad piece of work, if I say so myself, so I was confident I could bring that same energy to TWH when I switched over.
So I started off making some progress on Chapter 12 of TWH (and catching typos and such earlier in the manuscript as I was going back to cross-reference things), but work kept me hopping on Wednesday, other stuff took a big chunk of my time Thursday, and I don’t even know what happened to Friday, so by the time Saturday rolled around, I was nowhere near done with the chapter. I’ll have to sort it out later. In the meantime, keeping ahead of NagaTen is probably a good idea. Stay tuned.

I finished Chapter 17 of NagaTen (so that’ll be ready to go next cycle), did a little work on Chapter 12 of TWH, then spent most of my time penning that DnD scenario I’ve been working on. Now, doing all this for my niece is reason enough, but as I’ve hinted before that this may serve a dual purpose and you may see it in the future in a fun little project I’m considering. I need to make some headway in EM3 now. Stay tuned.

I didn’t get much writing done. Surprise, surprise, I know. I finished Chapter 15 of NagaTen and filled in some bits of Chapter 21. I wanted to finish Chapter 17 as well, and I may end up doing that, but I also need to turn my attention to EM3. Stay tuned.

I finished Chapter 12 of EM3 and went on to write Chapter 14 as well. I have to say I’m rather pleased with my progress, but my summer break is kicking off and we all know what free time does to my productivity. It’s one thing for stories like EM3 and NagaTen where I’ve built up a fair bit of lead time, but for TWH, I’m going to feel the pinch. Speaking of which, it’s TWH’s turn next, but I have some time on the road that might present the needed opportunity. Stay tuned.

I wrote Chapter 18 of NagaTen and started on Chapter 21. Why the gap? Well, I didn’t cross-reference with the outline and so what I thought was the immediate next chapter was actually further down the line than I expected. Anyway, I need to switch over to EM3. Fun to follow. Stay tuned.

I wrote Chapter 11 of EM3 and most of Chapter 12 as well. It’s time to get back to TWH. However, I’ve got most of the week off, so you know what that means for my productivity. I’ll have to at least get Chapter 9 done before Saturday. Stay tuned.

I worked on Chapter 15 of NagaTen, but my progress isn’t much to write home about. Once again, I find myself wanting to finish what I started but needing to move on. It’s EM3’s turn now and we’ll see if I can’t make more headway so I can go back and make up for the past couple weeks. Stay tuned.

I got through Chapters 8 and 10 of EM3 and also finished the earlier work on Chapter 13. With that done, I’ll be getting back to TWH. Looks like next time. Out.

I finished Chapter 13 of NagaTen and followed it with Chapter 14 and a good chunk of Chapter 17. I’ll get back to EM3 and maybe I’ll get a headstart on next week’s work on TWH. Stay tuned.
