Yesterday had some unexpected developments, so I didn’t get as much writing done as I was expecting. Made a little progress on Garm’s Chapter 1 but well under par. I’ll try to get it done so I can at least make headway into Chapter 2 before it’s time to switch over. Stay tuned.

Another day and more progress on Garm’s Chapter 1 of TTWC3. I should be able to finish the chapter after one more round. Stay tuned.

I made some progress on Garm’s Chapter 1 of TTWC3. More to come, I’m sure. Stay tuned.

My head’s been so full of Star Wars that I very nearly forgot to give Ophis Python his due now that he’s left the stage. If I’m not mistaken, he dated back to the lost prototype of the story. If you’ve seen the cover of Life Force (Salamander in Japan) for the NES, you can see the image that was the inspiration for what Python is supposed to look like. My love of classical mythology factors in heavily with Python’s backstory, which also provides a connection to Arachne.

I’ve commented before about the challenge of writing nonhuman characters, particularly ones that aren’t humanoid. The further you distance yourself from the character, the greatly the challenge to portray them. Python mourning the loss of his family and the decline of his tribe are relatable enough, but there isn’t that much else to his character. I’ll admit that he’s pretty weak as a lead and if I had to do it again, I might consider replacing him with the Herakles Queen Basilissa.

It doesn’t feel like I’m giving him much of a fair shake and if I as the author don’t have much investment in him, that doesn’t bode well for the reader’s reception. Well, so it goes. I’ll have more to say when Xorgoth’s turn comes up, so look forward to that. Stay tuned.

I made a little headway in Garm’s Chapter 1 of TTWC3. Under par, but enough to justify a post about it.

Followers of my Twitter feed have probably noted that I’ve started up Log Horizon. While I’d heard a lot of negativity about SAO, LH was deemed even worse, but, honestly, five eps in and I think it’s decent enough. I’m starting to think that the supposition that I have low standards may in fact be correct. ^_^; Well, I suppose there are worse things to be than easy to please.

Well, I managed to pull it off. I wrapped up Carpos’ Chapter 5 and thereby completed his section of TTWC3. I’ll be moving on to Garm’s section the next time TTWC3’s turn comes up, but now it’s time to switch gears back to JJ. Stay tuned.

I managed to make up for two days of negligible progress by wrapping up Carpos Chapter 4 and getting through most of Chapter 5 as well. Just a little bit more and I’ll meet my stated goal of finishing Carpos’ section before I switch over to EM. Stay tuned.

I made some more progress on Carpos’ Chapter 4 of TTWC3. More to come. Stay tuned.

I managed to finish up Carpos’ Chapter 3 of TTWC3 at long last and made some headway into his Chapter 4 as well. Finishing up his section this week is an entirely feasible goal.  Let’s make it happen. Stay tuned.

I made some respectable progress on Carpos’ Chapter 3 of TTWC3. Another solid push and I should be able to wrap up the chapter. We’ll see if I can pull it off. Stay tuned.
