WIP Update – 05 Jan 17

I managed to finish up Chapter 13 of TBP. I actually cut out a good 200 words when I decided the scene was going on too long and distracting from the intended focus of the chapter. I also rounded out Chapter 12 and started filling in Chapter 10. Yes, I know I’m all over the place, but I’ll get the ducks in a row soon. Maybe not by the end of this round, but soon. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 04 Jan 16

I jumped ahead in the story a bit to round out Chapter 13 of TBP. I still need to pen the conclusion, but it’s about 98% done. Because I was kinda stuck on Chapter 6, I may go and fill in the partial chapters I have between 8 and 13 first. We’ll see. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 03 Jan 16

After missing a day, I made a little progress–albeit under quota–on Chapter 6 of TBP. Among other things, I haven’t been in the best of health lately, but stalling out like this is starting to annoy, so I’m going to see what I can do about picking up the pace. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 18 Dec 16

I fell short of my overall goals for the week, but I still managed to finish Chapters 5 and 7 of TBP and started in on Chapter 6. I’d like to stick with it longer, but I’m going to switch over to CeleKing1. Seeing as how it’s currently in serialization, moving it along is something of a priority. Finishing two chapters this week is the goal. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 16 Dec 16

Another day of negligible progress on Chapter 5 of TBP, but I can at least try to make the excuse that I was busy putting together the update. My reviews of Star Wars films tend to go on quite a bit longer than most others (gee, I wonder why). Anyway, I’ve got the weekend laid bare before me, so maybe I can make up that lost progress and still hit my goals for the week. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 15 Dec 16

Well, once again I’ve come up under quota, but I did make some progress on Chapter 5 of TBP. It’s something. More to come. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 14 Dec 16

Hey. I finally managed to make quota and I was able to wrap up the new Chapter 3 of TBP. Not too shabby (meeting the minimum standard I’ve set for myself). Chapter 4 is in the same position as before, so now it’s on to Chapter 5, which used to be further down in the story until I started calculating travel times and realized three weeks was a little too long to get a response out of Seth. If I do 5, 6 and 7, I’ll close the gaps the restructuring has caused, which is a worthy goal. Let’s see if we can make it happen. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 13 Dec 16

I once again wrote a paragraph’s worth of progress on the new Chapter 3 of TBP. Obviously I need to pick up the pace. We’ll see if I can make it happen. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 27 Nov 16

The main accomplishment was getting the TBP manuscript all rearranged to match the new outline, but I also wrote some reviews and made progress on Chapter 12 of CeleKing1, about enough for a day’s quota, obviously not enough for the week. As such, I’m going to extend my work on CeleKing1 into this week and then switch over to TSoA1. Speaking of TSoA1, I’m not going to start serializing it until I have at least ten chapters written, so while CeleKing1 will start its serial run next week, TSoA1 will have to wait a month or two (or three). I don’t imagine it’ll hurt anyone’s feeling too much. So, that’s the plan for the immediate future. Now, if you’ll excuse me while I grumble about my lack of a (functioning) Japanese cell phone preventing me from upgrading my limited edition SR Shiburin… Hopefully we’ll have more genuine progress to report this week. Stay tuned.

WIP Update – 25 Nov 16

Besides some idle edits and additions to the prologue of Tzipi’s Garden, I didn’t get any story writing done, but I did continue my work sorting out the timeline for TBP, adding, deleting and moving several chapters, rendering my comment yesterday about the chapter order obsolete. (Now the old Chapter 3 has been pushed up to Chapter 8 and because that’s a long time to be without any mention of Cassandra, I have a new Chapter 3 and revived a previously deleted chapter to take the Chapter 5 slot.) I think I’ve finally got it all battened down, though. I still need to rearrange the chapters in the manuscript itself. Whee fun. We’ll see what work gets done tomorrow. Stay tuned.
