I managed to make some good progress on Chapter 6 of EM, getting most of the dialog written for the second half that had me stuck for so long. I just need to fill in the narrative and it’ll be done. I also penned a few lines of dialog for Chapter 15 as I was going through and preparing metatag summaries of each chapter. It’s nice to have a little bit written for each chapter so I don’t have to go back to my notes to remember what the chapter is supposed to be about. More to come. Stay tuned.

I managed to get far enough to make up for missing a day. I pretty well wrapped up Chapter 7 of JJ as intended and made some more headway on Chapter 8 as well. Tempting as it is to continue, I should switch over to EM. That second half of Chapter 6 really needs to be written. Stay tuned.

I made more progress on Chapter 7 of JJ. I’d like to finish the chapter before I switch over to EM, but I’ve got some other deadlines to meet, so we’ll see what I get accomplished. As a side note, it’s interesting the sort of research I wind up doing for my stories. Anyway, more to come. Stay tuned.

I made some more progress on Chapter 7 of JJ. One more solid push and I should be able to finish it. Stay tuned.

I’ve managed to make up a bit for some prior sluggishness with solid progress on Chapter 7 of JJ. That progress has been stymied a bit by a fight scene that’s proven a bit difficult to choreograph, but I believe I have a solution. I’ve also written an introduction that serves to clarify the length of the days and years on Miravel, the planet where the story is set. It makes a difference when you’ve got 28-hour days, for one thing. I’ll be adding it in with next week’s update. Stay tuned.

I haven’t made a lot of progress. I did write a bit on Chapters 7 and 10 of JJ and filled out the character glossaries of both JJ and EM up to the current point. Now that I’m caught up on homework, I can focus a little more on writing a bit, but I’ll be right back at it in a couple days. Hopefully I can make some decent headway before then. Stay tuned.

For some reason, finishing Chapter 9 would’ve taken more brainpower than I had at the ready as late as it was when I started writing, so instead I finished Chapter 11 instead. This leaves me with gaps to fill for Chapters 6, 9 and 10, but these are all things I’ll work on the next time EM’s turn comes up. I’m going to switch over to TTWC3 and see how far I can get. Rounding out Carpos’ section would be nice, but I suppose I shouldn’t get too greedy. Stay tuned.

After spending a day playing Suikoden 3 instead of doing any writing, I managed to make a little progress on Chapter 9 of EM. I’m looking forward to writing my review of the game (still have a long ways to go, though). It’s quite the epic tale. Anyway, I’ll see if I can’t round out one more chapter of EM and then switch over to TTWC3. Stay tuned.

I managed to hit the ground running with EM, wrapping Chapters 7 and 8 and making some headway into Chapter 9. I need to go back and deal with Chapter 6, though. I don’t know how to script the second half of the chapter. I just need to sit down and think about it a bit. At this rate, I may be able to wrap a couple more chapters before the weekend’s out. We’ll see. Stay tuned.

I managed to pretty well finish up Chapter 6 of JJ. I actually had to go back and make some modifications because I was glancing ahead at Chapter 8 and realized I forgot about somebody. Now I can pick up EM and hopefully get a chapter or two knocked out. Chapters 6 and 7 are fairly well along, so wrapping them up should be easy enough. Stay tuned.
