Not actually true, celf.
Since Woodward is planned as an 8-book series, all you can say is that all of the "current" Woodward books were updated at the same time. This happened several times as I was writing book 2, so it isn't the first time it happened.
It is the last time it'll happen, though. But probably not the last time you'll see an update involving three of them at once.

I will be starting chapter 7 of WMR soon. This book is scheduled for 10 chapters, and I am looking to finish it by the end of the year. I estimate (though am not promising) one chapter a month.
The Woodward Academy, Year 3, Chapter 3: August will be started tomorrow.

Wow, I wish I could poke around in your head (the writing part) for a bit. I envy you being able to be creative, since I have a hard time even creating a post that makes sense lol
Loving the stories, all of them....(been going back and re-reading them all)

You don't want to poke around in my head. Trust me.

You only write when you're bored? Writing is that far down your list of enjoyable things to do?
Writing is the first thing I do when I get up, right after checking email.
Thinking about writing is how I usually fall asleep at night.
Needless to say, I don't wait until I'm bored to do writing-related things.

First the question "You only write when you're bored?"
No.
however for me to have a Killer idea for a story.
i need to have been bored.
Very, very, bored.
When i dont have any other stuff on my mind i can let it wonder, and walk free.
that is when i get the most creative.
now to the question of "Writing is that far down your list of enjoyable things to do?"
This is not a easy Yes/No.
for a start writing in that of itself, for me is not fun. Writing is Hard, Very Hard work for me.
i get no enjoyment out of typeing A word or Writing a word.
What i do find Fun is telling a story, allowing someone other than myself to know the story i have dreamed up.
to do this i have to Type/Write the story down. even then to keep myself from giving up, i do not have every line planned out, i have target points, points that i need to get to, how i get to the target point that is what keeps me from giving up.
The Typeing/Writing part is just a part that needs to be done. like going to the WC. it eats up part of your time but needs to be done.
If i wish to Tell this story, for others to read it, and enjoy it. i have to Type/Write it.
and now you have seen a little in to my head, do you like it?

So you like being a story teller... just not the act of actually telling the story.

Your ability to write and keep coming up with awesome content is a thing to be quite envious of. I hope to be able to keep abreast and apace to you with my story. Ha, ha singular, at least for now. It is great to see you are writing so much. Big fan.

No, you didn't need to go back to March. You needed to go back to the previous writing status update, which was posted a mere two days before your question. In it, you would notice that I mention finishing Woodward Academy, Year 3, Chapter 3. Now, I'm not sure how it works in your head, but in MY head, you don't start work on book 3 until book 2 is finished.
Not to mention that I have stated repeatedly that Woodward Academy is on a monthly posting schedule.

The Woodward Academy, Year 3, Chapter 4: September has been started, finally.
Where the Maiasaurs Roam, Chapter 8: Success has also been started.
Sorry for the delay, but LAoW had a friend visit from out of town, then Tropical Storm Debby dropped by, first threatening to flood us out, then making the roof leak, then taking away power for hours, and finally destroying my mailbox post. Fun, fun, fun.

And you allowed those minor little details stop you from writing? Where's the dedication? The motivation?!?! Come on!!!
Glad you all survived Debby. My condolences to your mailbox.
