WIP Update – 10 May 17

Still moving along in Chapter 20 of TBP. Almost there. I’ll probably skip over Chapter 22 for the time being because I already have most of it written and move on to 23 once I’m done with 20. Maybe if I don’t stay up so late playing BotW, I can spend more of my off-hours at work writing instead of catching up on sleep. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 09 May 17

More progress on Chapter 20 of TBP. Not much else to say. Hoping to finish the chapter in another day or two. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 08 May 17

I made some progress on Chapter 20 of TBP. I may not be accomplishing as much the next couple days because of a more packed schedule than usual, but we’ll see. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 03 May 17

It scarcely counts, but I did all the chapter summaries for TBP that go in the meta-tags. I’ll definitely be giving TBP next week as I haven’t had a whole lot of wherewithal coming off my Tokyo trip. The only reason I’m posting this is just to confirm I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth quite yet. I may muster the will to get some writing done yet, but who knows? Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 16 Apr 17

I know I haven’t been missing many days lately, but I actually was doing story-related work Saturday. I was mostly updating the map and crunching numbers based on some new developments to the story. I realize I may have characters moving at slightly unrealistic paces in some spots, but I guess so long as no one else sees my calculations, it won’t be a problem.

Once all that was done, I was able to jump ahead and finish Chapter 21 of TBP. I know I haven’t finished Chapter 20 yet, but I had a flash of inspiration and wanted to strike while the iron was hot. Next time, I’ll probably have trouble with Chapter 22 because I already have a lot of it written and so it won’t be easy to match things up when I’m writing in my notepad at work. That’s fine, though. I can just finish Chapter 20, do the opening of Chapter 22 and then move on to 23. But that’s three weeks off. This week we’re going to finish CeleKing1 and hopefully start CeleKing2, if my desire to take advantage of the Switch’s mobile capabilities to play Breath of the Wild doesn’t suck up all my free time. ^_^; Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 14 Apr 17

I finished Chapter 19 of TBP and started in on Chapter 20. I’ve managed to do nearly 9K words of progress so far this week. Honestly, it seems like having to resort to pen and paper has been one of the best things for my progress. I’d like to at least finish Chapter 20 if I can before the weekend’s out, but if I don’t manage it, I’ve already done more than enough. Next week we push on to the end of CeleKing1 and likely will be starting CeleKing2, so I’m looking forward to that. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 13 Apr 17

I pretty well finished up Chapter 18 of TBP, which means I’m above the power curve, which bodes well for a smooth serialization once the story debuts on the site in two weeks. Ten years after starting the site and nearly 20 years of sitting in development, it’s finally going to get its time to shine. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 12 Apr 17

I managed to pretty well finish both Chapter 16 and 17 of TBP. That succeeds in meeting my goal for the week, so everything after this is a bonus. I may well manage to get two more chapters knocked out before the weekend’s out. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 11 Apr 17

I made more progress on Chapter 16 of TBP. Even with a few more of my slots filled up, I’m doing rather well for myself and the task of handwriting hasn’t proven to be as burdensome as I would’ve thought. Maybe because I’m so eager to write, it’s a mind over matter thing. Who knows? So the goal is to finish two chapters in the week and it seems doable, even with Chapter 16 turning out so long. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 10 Apr 17

I made some progress on Chapter 16 of TBP. The goal is to get at least two chapters finished this week, but the chapters tend to be longer here than in TSoA1, for instance. We’ll see what I can do. Stay tuned.
