It’s been a while since I last had something to post here. Haven’t really found the wherewithal to work on my stories much lately. I’ve been writing reviews for whatever that’s worth, but it almost feels like I’ve been avoiding them. I seem to be pulling out of it, though. Some inspiration started to stir and I worked on the outline for Junker Jorg a bit. Have most of the overall plot sketched out. I’m thinking that once Tico4 wraps, I might alternate between JJ and Everyday Magic. I’ve got a lot of work ahead of me yet if that’s going to happen, though. Maybe I’m getting to the point where that can happen. Stay tuned.

I haven’t made any story progress, but I did a lot of work on the peripheral materials for Junker Jorg. Why? Well, maybe you’ll find out in a few hours. I’ve been trying to set up a nice big anniversary post, but I don’t think I’ll quite get everything I want in there, but I’ll at least have some announcements for starters and then catch up with content later. Stay tuned.

I’ve mostly been preoccupied with non-writing tasks today, but I did manage to finish up Chapter 3 of JJ. Maybe I should redirect my attention to one of the novels currently being serialized. We’ll see.

I will provide more details in tomorrow’s post, but I thought I should make a quick note about my progress after this extended absence. I’ve been working almost exclusively on peripheral materials related to Junker Jorg. It’s quite the story, so stay tuned.

I meant to get a post out yesterday, but I didn’t manage it. Well, I’ve covered a fair bit of ground since the last update. I started working on TTWC1 but switched gears fairly early on and found myself working on Junker Jorg. You may recall that I did quite a bit of work on this one during spring break and I found myself just as enraptured this past week. Not only did I finish up Chapter 2 and build on Chapter 3 and beyond, but I also spent a lot of time world-building in the peripheral materials. I really enjoy crafting histories, genealogies and stuff like that. Even though most of the material will never see the light of day, having that much thought out goes a long way toward making the world real for me and hopefully does the same for you, the reader.

I imagine I’ll continue to play with JJ, but I’ll also see if I can’t pick TTWC1 back up. I’d like to keep up the buffer I’ve established.

Just a reminder that I’ll probably have the next update on the site somewhere in the late Thursday/early Friday range. Stay tuned.
