I was making some good progress on Chapter 11 of TWH, but not enough to get it done. Nothing to it but to keep whittling away at it. Stay tuned.

People who have been following me for a while know that my progress grinds to a crawl when I’m choreographing action sequences. I was making some progress on Chapter 11 of TWH, but not enough to actually get it finished.

I was also working on my reviews for the Summer 2022 anime season and got the odd inkling to reread the JJ books. I should probably give NagaTen and EM3 some love, even though I still have a comfortable buffer on those. I’ve got some other projects that’ll take some of my time as well, so we’ll see how I can juggle my time. Stay tuned.

I didn’t write a post last week as I didn’t have much of anything to report. I didn’t completely waste my time as I was doing research and also wrote a few reviews. Some of that selfsame research continued as a matter of necessity to continue Chapter 11 of TWH. There were a number of logistical factors I had to set straight to properly visualize the scene. There was also a little side project that took a significant chunk of my time and the viewing I needed to complete for the reviews (which I know is supposed to be a secondary priority, but it’s a lot easier way to generate content than trying to plow through a bad case of writer’s block).

When I actually did start to make headway in Chapter 11, I found myself running out of time, so now the challenge is to power through and get this daggone chapter finished at long last. Stay tuned.

I made a some progress on Chapter 11 of TWH and did a little dialog for Chapter 13 as it was on my mind. A decent chunk of my time was spent continuing the research I was doing last week. You see, for what I’m doing in the story, I had to sort out the organization of the Witch Queen’s armies and given Hecate’s background, the sensible thing would be to base it on the Ancient Greeks, so I was looking into the different formations used throughout antiquity up to the Byzantine Era, crafting a hybrid I figured would work well.

Anyway, I’ve got some time off this week, but I’m going to try to amend my usual bad habits, though I can’t make any guarantees. Stay tuned.

I made some progress on Chapter 11 of TWH. Not enough to have it ready for the weekend, though. A big chunk of my spare time was spent working on a more accessible game system than the one I’ve been developing for the Welcome to the World series. My niece has stated an interest in D&D after watching Stranger Things and that inspired me to work on a beginner-friendly system. We’ll see if she’d rather have a simplified 5e experience or if she’d like to give her uncle’s custom system a whirl. Yes, I know that’s not getting me anywhere with my writing, but that’s how it goes sometimes. I think I’ll stick with TWH and get that chapter finished while also working on at least finishing Chapter 17 of NagaTen as well. Stay tuned.

A month of no progress whatsoever. For half of that, I suppose I have some excuse as there were greater priorities laying claim to my time, but after that, I can only say that I once again fell into my usual habits when I have too much time on my hands. Nevertheless, I managed to scrape together Chapter 10 of TWH despite my resident productivity specialist objecting dang near every single time I was geared up to focus on writing. Fortunately, I have a fair bit of lead time built up on NagaTen, so the pressure isn’t quite as much there. I’ll still try to work on the chapters that are currently incomplete at the very least. Stay tuned.

I managed to just barely finish Chapter 9 of TWH in time for the update and also started in on Chapter 10. I need to switch over to NagaTen. Stay tuned.

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.

As you saw, I managed to finish Chapter 7 of TWH, admittedly fairly close to the wire. I also managed to write a bit on Chapter 8, so maybe I won’t be so hard-pressed when TWH’s turn comes up again. I’m going to switch gears to NagaTen, but I’d like to finish Chapter 8 of TWH as well if I can. We’ll see. Stay tuned.

I made a little progress on Chapter 7 of TWH and did more work in the WttW peripheral materials. I really need to buckle down more on making story progress, but we’ll see if I can actually buckle down during Golden Week. I’ll make a goal of finishing a chapter in TWH and NagaTen each. Will I pull it off? Who knows? Stay tuned.
