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.

I finished Chapter 12 of NagaTen and added a little bit to Chapter 13. I then wrote Chapter 6 of EM3 and worked on what I’m tentatively placing at Chapter 13. I need to focus on TWH. I’ve got a fair bit of time off, which will probably hurt more than it helps, but I’ve got to at least finish Chapter 7. Stay tuned.

I made progress on Chapters 12 and 13 of NagaTen and did more work in the peripheral materials for WttW. I plan on making some progress on EM3, but I’d also like to finish those chapters of NagaTen as well while I’m at it. Stay tuned.

I at least accomplished one of my goals, rounding out Chapter 7 of NagaTen, but I didn’t touch on TWH any. You guessed it, I spent most of my time on WttW. However, rather than the peripheral materials, I spent a fair bit of time writing on RttW. I completed Chapter 1 and then got through Chapters 2 and 3 and started on Chapter 4. I may end up scrapping a fair bit of it, though. The main character does some things I’m not happy with. It sets the tone and establishes some concepts I want to convey, but I don’t like that he’s the one to do it. I need to try writing an alternate version and see how that fits. There’s a lot of juicy conflict that can be born of the original version, but I feel I’d lose the vast majority of the audience by doing it. I don’t know.

Anyway, I need to at least get the chapter of TWH that’s due out this weekend done. I’m sure WttW will continue to occupy plenty of my time as well. Stay tuned.

As you might imagine, WttW dominated my time, though I did managed to complete two of the three parts of Chapter 7 of NagaTen, so I almost achieved my stated goal. Other than working on the peripheral materials for WttW, I wrote a fair bit on Chapter 3 of RttW as the confrontation there is something I was itching to put down on (digital) paper.

Going forward, I’d like to finish that chapter of NagaTen and then probably go back to TWH, as I don’t have any buffer built up there, unlike the soon to be released EM3. We’ll see what I get accomplished. Stay tuned.

I don’t quite have the chapter structure for EM3 set in stone yet, but I finished five chapters. Several of those were already in progress, so it’s not quite as much headway as it might sound at first, but it’s still pretty respectable if I say so myself.

For a change of pace, I wrote Chapters 1 and 2 of Whose Dog Are You? (which I’m going to be referring to as “DonaInu” from now on, from the Japanese translation of the title: “Anata wa Donata no Inu Desu ka?“).

Also, I’ve been doing a lot of work in the peripheral materials of Welcome to the World. One of the gimmicks is that I’m really trying to make the World operate according to a clearly defined game system. I may need to go back and streamline the mechanics more as I think I’m suffering a bit from complexity addiction. We’ll see how things go.

I mentioned plans to plug some holes in NagaTen and TWH last week. I haven’t gotten to it yet, but I need to get on it. Stay tuned.
