Progress Report – Second Quarter 2018

The Second Quarter 2018 brought more changes. Because I am not posting much new works, its main purpose was to post the older pieces.

Posted Works

First of all, on Wattpad, I posted Inside Information (more information below) as a part of Later Days. I then swung into the Eriecho series, with Release, Beats, Double Helix, The Mundane World, Recessive, A Gathering, and Across the Universe. I then posted The Puzzle and Theorizing, both as standalone stories. My next foray was going to be into the E² timeline, with Reflections Down a Corridor. However instead I went with the Barnstorming series, starting with The All-Stars of course.

And on Fanfiction.net, I posted the Hold Your Dominion series in its entirety. That consists of Hold Your Dominion, Smash Your Dominion, Good-Bye, and Wider than the Sargasso Sea. And then I moved onto Mixing It Up, posting Freak School, Report Card, D’Storlin, The Reptile Speaks, Insecurity, Losin’ It, Truth, and Transported. I added Alien Encounter, Milk, and The Black Widow to this collection as they don’t really fit in anywhere else. And I then got caught up by posting Inside Information. I posted Coffee and Siberians as a separate Voyager Collection. Then I started the Barnstorming series, with The All-Stars, and then moving along to Play. I also posted, as a standalone, Inside Information.

There really isn’t anything in progress. Inside Information was completely unexpected. However, because I’ve started Barnstorming, I need to finish Overtime. So I did some work on that and moved it along. I can see how I’ll finally end it.

Prep Work

On the WattNaNo profile, I added to WattNaNo’s Top Picks for 2018.

This Month’s Productivity Killers

Work got worse. Basically, while I am grateful to have a job, I am also alternating between boredom and stressed panic. Some of that boredom is my own fault; I take responsibility for it. I would just like a little more balance. But I’m sure we all would.

Progress Report – November 2017

November 2017 creeped up on me and then suddenly I was exceptionally busy.

Posted Works

First of all, the G & T Show has ended and may or may not be revived, so I posted nothing there.

And on Fanfiction.net, I started Deep Future, which is the post-Stranger H. G. Wells stories. Since the Wells series is winding down there, I am starting to think about the E₂ stories, as they are always fun to write and post. The stories in Deep Future start with It’s Not Really a Reset if you remember it and then The Sweetest Universe and then I put up Eight separately as it seemed to make more sense to do it that way.

And then finally, on Wattpad, I posted more of Shake Your Body.

NaNoWriMo! I spent a lot of time working on Mettle although there was still a great deal of research that I had to do even as I was writing.

Prep Work

I put together the drafts for He Stays a Stranger on Wattpad.  I also set up the drafts for Mirror Masquerade on Fanfiction.net as that will come up next and, since I have a cover anyway, I may as well create a separate document for it.

This Month’s Productivity Killers

One thing that absolutely zapped my productivity was having to get a new computer. The old one died in October and I replaced it during then, but there were still, on occasion, things I simply could no longer find. This included a lot of images, sadly.

Another issue was work as I went to full time and I had to end things with three side clients. Plus I needed to get up to speed with the full-time gig. As would be expected, NaNoWriMo also ate up my life. Yet so did Semantic Shenanigans even as we made an effort to keep it low key.

Progress Report – October 2017

October 2017 was another slow month as I had a ton of preparatory work to do for NaNoWriMo, I wanted to do more original writing anyway, and work clobbered me. But by the way, Happy Halloween (AKA Declan‘s birthday)!

Posted Works

First of all, on Wattpad, I posted Shake Your Body. And I also submitted Atlas for a contest.

And on Fanfiction.net, I posted the end of He Stays a Stranger and started Deep Future, which is the post-Stranger H. G. Wells stories. Since the Wells series is winding down there, I am starting to think about the E₂ stories, as they are always fun to write and post. The stories in Deep Future start with It’s Not Really a Reset if you remember it and then The Sweetest Universe and then Eight.

Finally, on the G & T Show forums, I posted nothing as that has never hit a resolution so there is no place to post fan fiction there anymore. And I strongly suspect that that will be the case for the duration.

In addition, I worked on some short stories, kind of throwaway fiction tidbits for a possible future writer newsletter. Because if I do start an author newsletter, I am going to need a ton of content and a lot of ways to save time.

Prep Work

Plus I spent time getting the Mettle wiki together for this year’s NaNoWriMo. Furthermore, I spent time working with beta readers on The Real Hub of the Universe. I also edited The Real Heart of the Universe.  Furthermore, I continued to plan out the final work in the trilogy, which might be called The Real Honor of the Universe. It is weird that even I don’t know that!

Oh God, it was work, work, and more work. So I barely got a breather.
