Hello, Internet! I feel I've been middlingly productive this week. I've been delayed or distracted by some outside factors (such as applying for online courses, and a friend visiting from out of town), but I'm still pleased with the work I've done. So, haven't been super productive on my writing, but I think that some … Continue reading Weekly Update – 8/23/17
Hello, Internet! Less successes this week than last, unfortunately. Sometimes, I'm just too easily distracted by other, less-productive projects. This week, I ended up spending much of my time on some materials for RuneQuest, a game I play with friends every Friday. It's similar to Dungeons & Dragons. There's a bunch of editions of RQ, … Continue reading Weekly Update – 8/16/17
Hello, Internet! Just finished up my writing goal from last week, so I figured I really ought to get going on my weekly post for this week. One of the main reasons I do this each week is for accountability - and I've gotta say, this week? It worked. Let's get to it! Reading This … Continue reading Weekly Update – 8/9/17
Hello, Internet! It's been a good week. Got some good work done on Rule, and I'm starting to feel pretty optimistic again about revising the blasted thing. Reading So I may have gone ahead and just finished re-reading The Shadow of What Was Lost over the past week. As I commented last week (regarding Percy Jackson & the … Continue reading Weekly Update – 8/2/17
Hello, Internet! Let's get to it, shall we? Writing I've been... middling productive, this week. I honestly haven't spent much time working on Rule (or any other piece, for that matter), and this upcoming week I'll be out of town for about 4 days, so it's unlikely that I'll be productive. Now, the good news is … Continue reading Weekly Update – 7/12/17
Hello, Internet! I'm very, very, very happy to say that I've got a second draft done of "act one" of The Rule of Iron! This currently works out to be the first five chapters, but I wouldn't be surprised if chapter divisions change up at some point in the future. Calling this segment "act one" isn't to … Continue reading Weekly Update – 5/18/17
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
