As predicted, I did not manage to finish Balancing Act this week, although I did get about three thousand more words written.
Blood Magic S3:E11: Balancing Act, Part One Release
It's finally happening: the series finale, the last Blood Magic story. This is where we see if my efforts to improve my endings have paid off, because I don't only need to satisfactorily conclude a two-part episode, or a season, but the entire series that you've been following for three years.
Weekly Writing Update
Hopefully, you saw the posts we published since the last weekly writing update two weeks ago: we had a re-release for Pifecha, Part One, a post discussing a method of keeping track of terms for smaller projects, a review for The King of Elfland's Daughter, a post discussing Zeno's paradoxes (I definitely recommend you read that one - I forgot, since I wrote the post, how interesting Zeno's paradoxes are - just be prepared for some mental exercise), and a review for Democracy in America.
Blood Magic S2:E11: Pifecha, Part One Re-Release
I didn't have many changes to make when I sat down and did revisions on Pifecha's first part, which is mostly a good thing - it means that I wrote a good story in the first place.
Weekly Writing Update
I said last week that I needed to make sure to be extra productive this week, and I mostly succeeded in that goal.
Dragon’s Hoard Release and Author’s Note
It takes a certain arrogance to be an author, an arrogance to believe that you have stories worth telling, stories that other people should want to read and enjoy, and, perhaps more importantly, an arrogance to keep believing that through what is inevitably a lengthy process of submission and rejection before publication.
Weekly Writing Update
After the sprint of productivity last week in which I met my self-imposed deadline to finish Balancing Act's first part, along with revisions on Principles (which we released this past Monday), I was hoping for a semi-quiet week with plenty of time to dig into revisions on A Spiritual Journey. That sort of happened.
Blood Magic S3:E10: Principles Release
It doesn’t come up a lot in my writing on the site, but I’m something of a Star Trek fan, and the style of storytelling utilized by that franchise was certainly in the back of my mind while I was writing the outline for the Blood Magic series. Two episodes particularly stand out for that influence, and both of them involve Pifecha: Strange Lands, and this one.
Weekly Writing Update
I really didn't think I could do it. Balancing Act felt like it was going so slowly, each viewpoint dragging by without enough happening, and I really didn't think I was going to get it finished by the end of October, despite my goal. But I did it!
Weekly Writing Update
Most of my efforts went into Balancing Act, on which I made respectable progress, especially considering how busy this week became.
