I pushed my way through to the end of Chapter 24 of EM3, doing about three days’ quota in the process. It’d be nice if I could make progress like this more often. I’ll see if I can’t get a bit of a headstart on Chapter 25 before next cycle. Stay tuned.

I managed to actually make quota for a change working on Chapter 24 of EM3. I’ve wanted to get more writing done in the evenings, but I’ve been so run-down lately. Well, having tomorrow off should make a difference and I can push through to the end. Stay tuned.

I did better than yesterday making progress on Chapter 24 of EM3 but still well shy of the target of 500 words a day. I’m running out of time until the deadline, but I’ve got a three-day weekend coming up, so maybe I can still manage. Stay tuned.

I only managed about a quarter quota continuing along in Chapter 24 of EM3. I’ll admit to getting a bit stuck again, but maybe I can make up for lost time once I get back on track. Stay tuned.

I made more progress in Chapter 24 of EM3. By my estimates, I’ll be done in another two or three days. That’s if I can maintain the current pace, so here’s to me not tripping before the finish line. Stay tuned.

I made some more progress on Chapter 24 of EM3, but I didn’t get to finish it like I wanted because the mascot sent me to bed. At this rate, I can’t imagine making the deadline. If I can somehow manage to finish the chapter tomorrow, I’ll just shift the release schedule by a day. Otherwise, I’ll have to postpone for a week. We’ll see what happens. Stay tuned.

I only made a little progress on Chapter 24 of EM3. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I’ve been swamped with work-work lately, so I have less time to steal for writing. I was actually in the office until they were ready to lock up the building. Still, right when I was settling in to focus on some writing back at the ranchero, I conk out. Dagnabbit. You see, I got hung up on diplomatic protocol in Bonaventure and was trying to figure that out when Somnus assailed me. Other than establishing the reigns of the Princes of Bonaventure, I hadn’t paid much thought to how the Principality’s government worked until now. I decided to model it on that of the Republic of Venice, but of course that meant I had to do research and I was deep down that rabbit hole when the day’s efforts came to an end. At this rate, I don’t know if I’ll be able to meet my deadline, but maybe I can turn things around. Stay tuned.

I very nearly made quota working on Chapter 24 of EM3. I still have a good ways to go before the chapter is finished, so I’m going to have to buckle down in the time I have available to me, which admittedly isn’t all that much. At least I have the scene pretty well realized in my mind, so all I’ve got to do is commit it to the page. I’ll try not to get lost down too many rabbit holes in the meantime. Stay tuned.

I made a little more progress on Chapter 24 of EM3. Under quota again, but I’m thankful just to be making any progress after the recent dry spell. I’ll be switching over to RttW next. We’ll see what progress I can make amid everything else. Stay tuned.

I didn’t get a lot written, but I did start on Chapter 24 of EM3. You may remember me mentioning the burst of inspiration I had the other day. You see, I’ve had the general thrust of book’s finale in my mind from the beginning, but until recently, I didn’t have a clear vision for how I wanted to go about it, which meant that the standard chapter structure was just a placeholder until I got things more clearly plotted. However, once I was able to solidify my vision, that placeholder structure proved to be just the right size. In other words, including Chapter 24, we have three more main chapters to go and then the epilogue. This means that if I can stay on schedule, EM3 will wrap the first week of July. I need to start making preparations for whatever’s going to follow it. Things to keep me busy, I guess. I hope to get a little more written before switching over to RttW. Stay tuned.
