I finished Chapter 8 of TWH for the update and made some progress on Chapter 9 as well. I was spinning my tires a bit mid-week, so I found myself doing a re-read of KniTwi and catching a few errors that slipped past me in earlier drafts. I’ll be shifting gears to NagaTen. As I’ve got a bit a lead time, I’d like to go ahead and finish Chapter 9 of TWH, but we know how those plans usually turn out. Stay tuned.

Getting back to work meant getting back to work… work on writing, that is. I managed to get through Chapter 21 of KniTwi and went on to do Chapter 22 and then finish the epilogue to wrap up the book. Maybe I can finish EM2 when its turn comes around next. Stay tuned.

I made a little progress on Chapter 21 of KniTwi, by which I mean very little, but I’ve at least started the dang thing. Now I need to actually push ahead and finish the dang thing. Stay tuned.

I’m running behind left, right and center, aren’t I? Well, let’s get you all up to date on my progress last week, especially when the end result was another release delay. So I picked up my work on Chapter 20 of KniTwi. All well and good. I made a fairly significant change in the sequence of events from my earlier draft of the story and was left wondering how to time the transition between Chapters 20 and 21. The end of the week rolled along and I still didn’t have it figured out, hence the delay. Rather than brute-force a solution when I got to that sticking point, I decided to move on ahead. Because of the ambiguity with where Chapter 20 should end and where 21 should begin, I skipped over 21 and for no particular reason, skipped Chapter 22 as well. I suppose I just wanted to write down the confrontation in Chapter 23. Well, I did that, continued through Chapter 24 and got about halfway into the epilogue. If I can swing another week this productive, I’ll have the book finished. Wouldn’t that be a treat? I’m still puzzling over the ending to Chapter 20, but I’ve got some extra time to figure it out. Stay tuned.

If I was on the ball, I would’ve finished Chapter 20 of KniTwi and maybe even knocked out one or two more chapters while I was at it. Instead I wrote a little bit, then wrote this unrelated chapter that I think is going somewhere in the Legend of Nell series, but I don’t actually know where at the moment. I then decided to reread Tellus and managed to uncover a couple dozen typos that escaped my initial passes through the story. Finally I got a tiny bit more done on Chapter 20. I’m going to have to buckle down as the chapter is due out next Saturday. Stay tuned.

I was supposed to be working on Chapter 20 of KniTwi. I started, but then was spinning my tires and switched over do Chapter 39 of JJ2 instead and once that was done, I returned to KniTwi and got a little bit done. I probably need to keep working on KniTwi, but I might end up wandering over to something else. We’ll see. Stay tuned.

After going a week with no progress, I put my nose to the grindstone. Didn’t make up for lost time, but I did at least meet my weekly quota. Now, I was supposed to be writing Chapter 16 of EM2, but the circumstances in the story drove greater escalation than I originally intended, so I’m thinking what I’ve got would work better in Chapter 24, but that creates its own set of problems. I’m going to have to work it over in my head some more and probably make some adjustments. I’d like to fiddle around with it more, but I also need to think about switching over to KniTwi. I’ve thankfully built up a bit of a buffer in the schedule, but last week has cut into that. There are no days off over the next three weeks, so that bodes well for progress. Stay tuned.

I didn’t get a word written during my days off, but I pretty well managed to make up for it by getting through Chapters 18 and 19 of KniTwi and starting on Chapter 20 as well. I need to be switching back to JJ2 after this. Stay tuned.

I’ll admit to slacking off majorly, making poor use of my abundant free time as far as story progress is concerned. I didn’t do much better last week, but I did inch along on Chapter 17 of KniTwi until I finally got it finished. I’ll be back at work this week, so that may actually prove beneficial to my writing progress. It’s time to get back to JJ2. I don’t have that much further to go on the chapter that’s coming up, but it’d be nice to build up a bit of a buffer. As always, we’ll see. Stay tuned.

This is what happens when you stop updating every day (or close to it). You forget stuff. I’d like to think I did at least some writing between where the last entry left off and where this one picks up, but I only have a clear recollection from Tuesday, so that’s what we’ll go with. If I did, in fact, not get any writing done since the previous Wednesday, I pretty well made up for lost time working on Chapter 16 of KniTwi. As of the time of this writing, I’ve finished the chapter and put it up on the site, but I’ll get into that more in the next entry. It’s time to get back to JJ2. Stay tuned.
