I worked on Arachne’s epilogue of TTWC2. By now most of the work left in her section is just filling some holes and rounding things out. Part of me wants to finish it out and another part wants to play around with something else. Maybe I’ll do both. Stay tuned.

Over the past couple days I’ve made progress on Arachne’s Chapters 4 and 5 and her epilogue of TTWC2. I don’t have that much farther to go before I finish up her section, but I may switch over to a different character for a change of pace. We’ll see. Stay tuned.

I made some progress on Arachne’s Chapters 2 and 3 of TTWC2. The former only requires a little more narrative to be filled in. I believe I’ve commented before on how characters can develop in interesting ways and certainly what Arachne is becoming is quite different from her original form. To be fair, most of the Dominion headliners were pretty flat characters in prior versions, so just about any development has a fresh feel to it. Ophis Python is going to be difficult, though. I still don’t quite know what I’m going to do with him. A problem for another day. Stay tuned.

I made some progress in Arachne’s Chapter 2 of TTWC2. I put in a nice little reference to Ishtar, which is a bit of an in-joke for me because Ishtar is actually a fairly significant player in the Tellus Arc mythos, though you won’t fully realize this until I get to The End of Times, which I intend to be the capstone of the mainline Tellus Arc continuity. That’s a ways off yet, though. More fun with the Spider Queen to come. Stay tuned.

I made some pretty good progress. I finished the Monarch Lich’s epilogue in TTWC2, rounding out his section, then went on to do some editing to Arachne’s prologue, writer her Chapter 1 and finish her Chapter 4. I feel I could just keep going, but I need to show Tico4 some love. Stay tuned.

I’ve pretty well finished the Monarch Lich’s Chapter 5 of TTWC2. Can I get the epilogue done before I switch back over to Tico4? We’ll see. Stay tuned.

I finished the Monarch Lich’s Chapter 2 in TTWC2 and then went on to do some work on his Chapter 5 and epilogue. I should be done with him in another day or two. If I stay focused, I may even get some work done on Arachne’s section before the weekend is out. Stay tuned.

I put the finishing touches on Caligo’s Chapter 1 of TTWC2, then went on to make some progress on the Monarch Lich’s Chapter 2 and mostly finish his Chapter 3. We should be doing rather well if I can keep going at this pace. Stay tuned.

I continued to make progress on Caligo’s Chapter 1 of TTWC2. I just have a little ways to go before wrapping it up. After I finish it, I think I will go back to the Monarch Lich’s section as I’d really like to have a decent straight-ahead buffer filled up before the book’s serial run starts. Of course, with my new writing quotas, if I stick to TTWC2 on Tellus Arc weeks, I may well have the book completed before its serial run even begins. Wouldn’t that be something? Stay tuned.

I said I was going to start with a straight-ahead run on TTWC2, but I immediately broke with the idea and instead worked on Caligo’s Chapter 1. I suppose I’m just going to be jumping around after all. It’s a good long while before TTWC2 begins its serial run, though, so I can certainly afford to jump around. Sometimes being locked into given path gives you better focus and continuity, but there are also merits to flowing where the inspiration takes you. I suppose it’s a balancing act. Now that I’ve started this chapter, I believe I’ll see it through before moving on. Stay tuned.
