Hello, Internet! This week was a bit haphazard, with the switchover from Camp NaNoWriMo in April (aka, Camp Research-because-you-don't-know-what-you're-doing) to May, where I'm planning to try just bearing down as hard as I can on The Rule of Iron. Overall I feel pretty satisfied with my progress, slow though it is. I finished the line edits … Continue reading Weekly Update – 5/4/17
Hello, Internet! Things are going aright over here. This week was a bit of a mishmash, since I was waiting for books to come in. Still waiting, but at least one of them came in (The Kingdom of the Hittites by Trevor Bryce) so I've been able to dive back down the rabbit-hole of research. … Continue reading Weekly Update – 4/26/17
Hello, Internet! First off, I'd like to apologize for not getting an update up last week. Not too sure what happened - it just slipped my mind. I'm not sure there was anything particularly exciting going on, but nonetheless. My apologies. Spent a bunch of time working on research and architecture-ing these last few weeks. … Continue reading Weekly Update – 4/19/17
Hello, Internet! I feel like the last week has gone fairly well. I'm behind on the Camp NaNo wordcount (At the end of my writing time yesterday I was sitting at 7,477 out of the 10,000 target), but the distance is still within catch-up range. It feels really good to be back in the seat … Continue reading Weekly Update – 4/7/17
Hello, Internet! Progress has been pretty steady this week. A lot of research, and a lot of outlining in preparation for Camp NaNoWriMo come April 1st. I've got about a quarter of an in-detail outline done, and the majority of my story outline for Perseus himself. While I could easily spend another week - or … Continue reading Weekly Update – 3/29/17
Hello, Internet! I feel like this week has been at least fairly productive. Got a bunch of reading done on my Perseus project. There's not much more than a week left before Camp NaNoWriMo begins, so I really need to get my materials together! I've got a budding list of characters and a fair amount … Continue reading Weekly Update – 3/22/17
Hello, Internet! Not a lot of progress to report this week, unfortunately. Got around half of the chapter edited which I had set as my goal, which is a bit disappointing. Part of my goal for the upcoming week is to finish that chapter and get the changes put into my second draft document. I … Continue reading Weekly Update – 3/16/17
Hello Internet! I feel like this week has been moderately productive. I've not managed to get my lazy arse to further work on the portion of The Rule of Iron I've been rewriting, but I did reach my more concrete goal of doing a close edit of Chapter Two. It's changes are still just ink on … Continue reading Weekly Update – 3/9/17
Hello, Internet! Work is progressing on The Rule of Iron. Slowly, but it's progressing. I'm reaching the "Oh, **** this" phase of working on the dang novel, but it ought to pass. To those of out there who also write, I'm sure you're familiar with the feeling. I've made moderate progress on a major rewrite. As … Continue reading Weekly Update -3/1/17
Hello, Internet! Didn't I do something like this recently? Yes. Why am I doing another update-type post instead of a review or an article? Because those take time. A lot of time. More time than I had expected when I started writing random things on the internet, talking into (mostly) empty space. Above and beyond … Continue reading Some Introspection
