I made a little more progress on the prologue of CeleKing1. Another day’s work and I’ll have it done. Not much more to say at the moment. Stay tuned.

I made a little progress on the prologue of CeleKing1, under par but still more than I usually accomplish on Mondays. I’d like to finish the prologue and Chapter 1 this week, but more than that, I’d like to get the outline sketched out. We’ll see how far I can get. Stay tuned.

On a whim, I decided to reread what I’ve written on the CeleKing series and did some writing on Chapter 1 of CeleKing1. Maybe I’ll have to pencil in a week for it, but for now, I’m going to try to get another couple chapters of JJ knocked out. If I can have JJ and EM up through Chapter 6 at least before they kick off in three weeks, I’ll be in good shape. Stay tuned.

I was so wrapped up in my work that I didn’t even spare the time to post yesterday. I’ve been continuing my work on CeleKing1, to include a lot of work on the currency system. It’s loosely based on ancient Chinese currency and from there I devised pay charts relevant to the story. This probably doesn’t sound the least bit interesting to you, but these are the lengths I go to for verisimilitude in my stories.

There’s something else I’ve got in the works, but I’m not going to reveal it just yet. When I have a little more material, I’ll probably go forward. Stay tuned.

I finally managed to meet quota working on CeleKing1. I still want to make up for the past three days I came up short. It’s amazing how much characterization has developed in so little time. Honestly, I was still at the point where I didn’t have much more than what you see in the teaser I posted. However, it’s starting to come together now. I’ve done so much in the second and third books already almost entirely based on the compelling person of Yasuko Rodrigues, but now her father Batista is shaping up to be almost as compelling himself. Hopefully my attachment to these characters translates to you, the readers. Stay tuned.

I’m again under quota, this time working on CeleKing1. I know I can’t count it toward quota, but I was doing a fair bit of work in the peripheral materials fleshing the story out. The time seems to get away from me, but I’ve got to do what I can to maximize the hours in the day. Anyway, I’ll try to get back on even keel. Stay tuned.

I did some work on Medusa’s Chapter 1 and 3 of TTWC2. In all truth, I wasn’t paying as close attention to the timeframe of Chapter 1 and had to do some adjustment to make events properly mesh with the timeline. It’s a good thing I mark the chapters with the dates or that would’ve been a lot more work later on.

Wanting a bit of a change of pace, I started playing around with the Celestial Kingdom books again, doing some light editing of what I’ve already written and trying to fill out the outline more and get the plot squared away. I still have very little sorted out for CeleKing1 and huge gaps in CeleKing2 and 3. Things to do, things to do. Stay tuned.
