Monthly Blog #6

 Hey Everyone,

For those who have noticed one of the blog pages, there is a change with the background, which is just a test right now. I do plan to make small changes like better backgrounds down the line, but for now I simply had to measure what size the background is. There might be other small changes as I get the hang of using this blog site as there does seem to be a bit of a learning curve when it comes to this place. One thing I do hope to get better at is keeping better up to date with posts on the other pages (the game reviews and fiction stories). Speaking of the fiction stories, there is one type of idea I do plan to test later on that will be along the lines of a fictional blog story. I'm not sure how I'll organize this as I do want to get through some more of the current writings I have going on. If I don't make any update on this point by the end of the year (which I hope is enough time to consider the idea), it's best to assume that the idea is put on hold until more of my writing can be dealt with first.

As to the Tale of Ælfric book, I've reached 42k words, a 13.5k word increase from last month, still a little better at improving my word count. I think it's safe to say that the rate I'm going at, I no longer should concern myself at catching up with the pace I had a year or more ago as I'm sure to be there, if not surpass it soon as I continue to get back into the rhythm more.

I'm sure I've posted about this in an earlier post, but the sci-fi series, though the short story version is post of my fiction stories blog, I still plan to expand upon it once I finish the Tale of Ælfric with the time I'll have on hand with the story coming to a close. How long the novel version will be, I cannot say. And, though I did initially want the story to be published in book format, given that the short story is published on my blog, I may cut the novel into sections and do the same for that so it'll be easier to read for those who are interested in doing so.

 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...
