Weekly Log #19

 Hey everyone,

I know it's been some time since the last log, it's simply from the lack of detail to bring up in them, which was already brought up a few times before. Safe to say, I have been making progress still in the Tale of Ælfric series. The third book is just about wrapped up; it's a minor character's name and the book's cover that must be finished before it can qualify as finished. Though this is the main things left, I have begun the fourth book in the series in the mean time as I think of the name (the cover art easy enough for me to make). I have been thinking over the story some more in the time between finishing up the last edits I worked on and today: I think it's possible the series will have two more books to write after the third book before the series is finished. And, since I considered finishing thr rough draft of these last books before working on the edits, I should have these rough drafts finished by the end of next year at the latest, maybe by mid summer if I put in greater effort than usual. I'm particularly writing this in relation to the short story that I've submitted. I've received an email this morning saying that it has been rejected. Though it's not all bad news as I've expected as much and I've had a back up magazine to send it into, which I have. This magazine has a faster response time (no more than a month and a half) so I should have a sooner rejection, which I expect as I don't think the short story is my best work.

 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...

Monthly Blog #2

 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...
