Weekly Log #6

 Hey Everyone,

I have finally come to the end of the rough draft for the third book in the Tale of Ælfric series and have begun the editing phase. It should be an easy phase, or easy enough the way editing goes, that I should, hopefully finish by the end of the summer, or be close to finished if not. And, over that time, the second book in the series should be published. With so much to the story already completed, I think I'm able to say, with greater certainty, that I can see the direction I'd like to take for the remainder. To be fair, it's been more a rocky road for me with figuring out what I had to do for this as it simply began as a final project for a class I've had, the plan I had for the story was to follow a different character elsewhere in the same world, yet this project forced my hand in creating the Tale of Ælfric. I do think that I can finish off the story in the right direction where the story I had initially planned could still be made at some point in the future, though I cannot give an exact date for it as I have grown satisfied with Ælfric and his tale. I do hope eventually I will see the publication of this other one as there'll be some unanswered question by the end of this series that I'd like to give the readers some satisfaction of.

 Hey everyone, To start, happy new year!! Since last month, I've just past the 16k word count for the final Tale of Ælfric series. Though 10.5k words isn't too bad, it isn't as good a monthly word count as it once was (last year, which was at least 15k words a month) and I would like to improve upon this more. I hope I can double the word count eventually as I do hope to get the final manuscript done by the end of summer, maybe mid-fall if possible. As to the short story I said I've written, I plan to have the rough draft to the novel version of this finished sometime by mid next year. I mostly need to figure out which pieces must be expanded upon, most of which I already know, so it'll be the more minor points throughout the story. I hope everyone can have a good year (though some points clearly aren't that good). T.R. Infanger

Monthly Blog #5

 Hey Everyone, So, to start with, as I'm sure for anyone who follows this blog through the direct link I have attached to a few different sites, they've noticed a bit of a change. That is now from a main hub section that directs to here and to a new blog specific to game reviews with the addition to links to my youtube and reddit account for anyone interested and vise-versa. Looking back onto my writing, I have made a little more progress than in the month before, reaching 28.5k words. A few events have taken place in the story since then, but for now I have had the need to go back and add in a few important sections I've forgotten about. With the changes I've been making that's been mentioned in the previous paragraph, I will still do what I can to maintain my writing pace so not to miss out on keeping my intended publication schedule, though that's doubtful I will as the third book that will be published this year is already finished, giving me a year at least...

 Hey Everyone, To start with, I have exhausted the resources for sending in this short story of mine, so it looks like it'll become a book, likely a short one, which I'll publish some time after the Tale of Ælfric series comes to and end. While it does sadden me a bit to know that it wasn't accepted, I'm, in a way, excited to make it into a book. The idea itself is inspired by the book series Little Fuzzy by H. Beam Piper, and is the kind of idea which could be expanded into a series if I work out the sequel books correct. As to the Tale of Ælfric series itself, I'm coming with it slowly. It's just taking a little longer right now as I place more of my focus into my final two classes. After the classes end, I'll be able to place a greater emphasis on my writing, which I'll be able to finish the rough draft to the last two books by the end of next year at the lasted (I hope). The fourth book in the series may see a little difficulty as I do know how I...
