I’ve mostly finished Chapter 16 of Tico4 and also did a fair bit of work on Chapters 17 through 20. I stand a good chance of getting a couple the chapters in that set finished before the weekend’s out. A fairly pleasantly productive week, I’d say. Stay tuned.

I went ahead and added the couple chapters I hinted at earlier. This may throw off some of the earlier entries in WIP Update series, but I don’t think anyone’s making some chart of my progress by story and chapter or anything. One of them is the new Chapter 20 and the other was stuck on the end at Chapter 32. Chapter 20 brings us back to our leads for a bit before continuing into the next arc and Chapter 32 helps tie things up after the climax. I wrote a little dialog for both. I need to update the table of contents on the site, but I haven’t committed to a name for Chapter 20 yet. I’ll get that sorted out. Stay tuned.

Made progress on Chapter 16 of Tico4. Also did a little bit on Chapter 20 and 21. I’m a little worried about pacing coming out of Chapter 16, so I may be making some adjustments to the overall chapter structure. Might be adding a chapter or two. We’ll see. Stay tuned.

I did a little adventuring yesterday but even so, I managed to find time enough to make some progress on Chapter 16 of Tico4. I should have this one done soon, which will lead me to the next arc of the story. Stay tuned.

I went ahead and mostly wrapped up Orguz’s Chapter 2 of TTWC2 and then went on to more or less finish Chapter 15 of Tico4. Not a bad bit of work if I say so myself. You’ll understand what I mean when we get to the chapter in question, but I found it quite the pain to adequately portray synchronous audio and visuals, particularly when the latter is changing in the middle of the former. I may wind up doing some rewriting to streamline it further, but that’s a task for another day. Stay tuned.

I really shouldn’t put off my writing to the end of the day. I didn’t get a word written Saturday because of it. I know I said I’d meet my daily quota no matter what, but there’s not much you can do when you pass right out in your chair.
However, I more than made up for it yesterday. I made progress on Chapters 15, 17, 19 and 23 of Tico4, did some more work on KniTwi, and also started jotting down dialog for new Cross Arc story I was recently inspired to develop. Rather busy, perhaps to the detriment of other priorities, but so it goes.
I guess I’ll be switching back over to TTWC2, but I imagine I’ll be doing some more work on KniTwi as well. Stay tuned.

I’ve pretty well finished Chapter 14 of Tico4 and did some writing on Chapter 15. Hard to believe I’m almost halfway done with the book. This quota thing is doing wonders for my productivity. I highly recommend it to all aspiring writers out there. I don’t think I’ll finish Chapter 15 before the weekend’s out, but you never know. Stay tuned.

More progress on Chapter 14 of Tico4. Believe it or not, I had to do a bit of research on poker for this one. Eagle-eyed card sharks will notice an apparent error, but will they be sharp enough to divine the rationalization for it? Honestly, even with the rationalization, it’s a bit on the flimsy side, but I’m going with it anyway. I should have the chapter finished before the week’s out. Stay tuned.

A little more progress on Chapter 14 of Tico4. All the mundanity I mentioned last is quite the buildup to the punch, I realize. Ever so devious. More to come. Stay tuned.

I made some progress on Chapter 14 of Tico4. I’m having fun mixing a dose of the mundane into the scenario in this chapter. You’ll see what I mean when it comes out. Stay tuned.
