I decided not to make a post for the process of just getting through the last paragraph I needed for Chapter 20 of KniTwi, so it makes me look like I’ve done even less than I actually have, which is admittedly not much. After a week of doing nothing before Chapter 17 of EM2 was supposed to come out, it looked like I was going to have a second round, but I actually did start to inch on ahead, but when I’m having to choreograph action sequences, it always takes me longer. I fell short of my target, so I guess I’m going to have to go another round. Whee. Oh, and I’m finding myself stumped in the review process too. Double whee. Anyway, more to come (hopefully). Stay tuned.

I finished Chapter 16 of EM2 in time for the weekend update. I then started on Chapter 17 and then jumped ahead to Chapter 18 and doubled back once I finished. Chapter 17 is going to take a bit of work, but I’ll get through it. For now, it’s time to switch over to KniTwi. If I happen to defy my usual behavior patterns, I could actually finish the book if I put my mind to it. We’ll see. Stay tuned.

I made some progress on Chapter 16 of EM2. Not enough to get it out the door, however. I’ll be continuing work on that and once I get it done, I’d like to deal with that hanging ending of Chapter 20 of KniTwi. Stay tuned.

I made some rather nice progress this week. I got through Chapters 14 and 15 and then went on to Chapter 19. (I was at work at the time and didn’t have access to my notes, so I ending up jumping a fair bit further ahead than I intended. I can always fill in the gaps later, of course.) I’m rather pleased to finally have a bit of a buffer on one of my stories for a change. It’s certainly been a while. With that taken care of, I’ll be shifting gears to KniTwi from here. Hopefully the Golden Week festivities don’t become an excuse for me to goof off too much. Stay tuned.

So I went and wrapped up the epilogue of EM2, then went back to knock out Chapter 12 for the update and also managed to finish Chapter 13 while I was at it. A fair showing for a week’s work. I need to be getting back to KniTwi now. I’ve got seven chapters of battle to write (not all in one go, of course). Stay tuned.

I continued to write a bit more on the epilogue of EM2 before going over to knock out Chapter 11 for this week’s update and then starting on Chapter 12. Progress was put on hold after that as I had to ramp up my job hunting efforts. I’ve got quite a few plates to keep spinning until I’m sure I have something locked in, but once I get som breathing room, I’ll head over to KniTwi to resume work there. More to come. Stay tuned.

I guess I haven’t been posted here in a while. Well, let’s get everyone up to speed. I finished Chapter 33 of JJ2, then jumped ahead to Chapter 35 before going back to get Chapter 34 started. Also, because of a bit of inspiration, I jumped well ahead and did a bit of EM2’s epilogue.
Speaking of EM2, I finally got the story all plotted. Yes, I know that should be done before you start, but I’ve been doing a lot more on-the-fly writing these days. Feeling particularly rudderless on this one, I finally just sat down and powered my way through the story. And now that that’s done, I can drive on ahead. More to come. Stay tuned.

I spent most of Monday fleshing out notes for a potential story idea that sprang up in my head. Coming so soon on the heels of the idea I was working on Friday is a level of inspiration I haven’t had in a while. Returning to more pressing matters, I finished Chapter 10 of EM2 and then began work on Chapter 15 of KniTwi before delving into the peripheral materials. The latter half of the week was fairly busy work-wise, which left me too tired to be as productive as I would’ve liked. Still, it’s a better showing for this week than I’ve been having recently. Here’s to further progress. Stay tuned.

I managed the final push to finish Chapter 9 of EM2 and from there I spent a day reviewing JJ2, catching typos and such. From there, I started up Chapter 14 of KniTwi in preparation for next week’s update. I’ll be continuing that for the near future. Stay tuned.

I’ve been slacking about posting here even more than I’ve been slacking on my writing. Obviously, I got the chapter of JJ2 out, even though I didn’t make a note of it here. From there, I moved on to Chapter 9 of EM2, where I was making scattered progress until this past week, where I managed to get some real footing to push me forward. I just need a little more of that push to finish the dang thing, something I hope to accomplish at long last this week. Stay tuned.
