Re: Writing Status
Update #2 for May 26, 2020:
The Woodward Academy, Year 8, Chapter 9: February is now in the hands of the reviewers.
The Woodward Academy, Year 8, Chapter 8: January will be posted to PRM on June 1. Because this decision was completely arbitrary on my part, delaying the post by several days, I decided to grant a month of extra special access to the folks whose PRM would have expired before then. (There were only 2.)
I will start WAY8-10 soon.

Ahhh but you also stated you were giving an extra month of PRM to 2 people to make up for the release date. That added with the June 1 release adds up to 2020. However we all know you and math don't go together. So who knows when you will release it. .................THE SHADOW KNOWS.

Re: Writing Status
Eric I think your focus currently is on WAY 8 but are you still working on other storylines?

Re: Writing Status
Depends on what you mean by "working on". I am not currently writing anything else, no. Do I still think about other stories, try to advance their plots in my head? Yes. AC is still very much on my mind. I re-read the notes for the last chapter of A2 earlier today. In fact, I went through and looked at all of my story concept material today.
So, again, depends on what you mean by "working on".

Re: Writing Status
Update for June 4, 2020:
For the first time in... I don't even know how long... years, certainly...
I am actually ahead of my word count daily target!
Each year, I have a quota that I set for myself. This year, it's 250,000 words. I haven't been meeting this the last several years, but I still set the goal. Well, in order to make that goal, I have to write a certain number of words (on average) every day. So each day, there's a "target total word count", for me to reach my yearly quota.
As of today, I am over 1,000 words "ahead of schedule"!
Hot damn tamale, baby!
Oh, and WAY8-10 is at 16,000 words, nearing completion, yada yada yada...

Re: Writing Status
Update for June 6, 2020:
The Woodward Academy, Year 8, Chapter 10: March, has been finished. It isn't yet with the reviewers, as I want to actually do a pre-review proof of this chapter for various reasons. Not that it matters to you guys: This chapter will (probably) be posted on August 1st.
WAY8-11 is probably going to be started very soon. (Not tonight, not tonight, not tonight, it's already 4am... -- What? I'm not talking to YOU, I'm talking to ME!)
For the record, WAY8-10 is over 27,000 words long. WAY8 is now over 200,000 words long. It is not yet the longest of the books, but it is definitely going to be.

Can I get some of whatever it is that is giving you this motivation? Unless it's crack, I never liked the taste.

Re: Writing Status
Oh, it's a very simple recipe. Take ten years of your life, devote them to one project. Lose the only thing that could have possibly distracted you from working on the project. Then get within inches of finishing it.
Voila! "End of Project Push" on steroids.

That's what I figured, but I didn't want to put words into your mouth.
Thanks for sharing your creativity with us.
