AC-11 is progressing well. Misfits is progressing well. I am still working on the plan for WBR-3. A2-5/Epilogue are still with the reviewers.

Eric, Thanks for not pulling an April fools joke and telling us you weren't releasing anything today.
Offline
I didn't have the energy to pull the April Fool's Joke I wanted to, and anything else beside that was just not worth the effort.

What did you want to do? Or are you hoping to save it to use another year?

I had planned on writing a scene whereby Woodward Academy had been completely destroyed before David got there. Everyone was dead except for the healer, the buildings were destroyed, and David vowed vengeance. It would have been very dark and depressing, and you would all have snarled at me when you got to the big "April Fool's!" at the end of the scene.

That would have been epic.

Yeah. Too bad I wasn't feeling well the last few days, or I'd have done it.

Hope you feel better soon if you aren’t already.

I'm not, but thanks for the thought.

I guess it would have only been a really horrible prank for the folks that haven’t already finished the book. Course you could have been like, “Oh hey I forgot I added this last chapter...†Doesn’t sound like it’d work but who knows with your skills.

Good to hear. Guess your muses haven’t been fighting with you too much.

Update for April 13, 2021:
As of right now, I have written on 51 consecutive days.
During those 51 consecutive days, I have written over 100,000 words.
For those of you who have never kept track of something like this, let me tell you: the pressure to keep going becomes intense. Especially once I'd gotten to like 80,000 words. It was at that point, I said, "Let me see if I can get to 100,000." Funny how writing suddenly became more difficult...
I don't think I have ever written 100,000 "consecutive words" before. I can say, however, that I am not planning to keep pushing. I will write as the muses move me, so my streak may continue... but if I find that I'm struggling to write the next scene, I may just take the damned day off.
AC-11 is progressing well. Misfits is going like gangbusters. Hopefully someone other than me will actually get to read it someday.
I have also been doing some serious work on version 2.0 of the website. I cannot guarantee ANYTHING about that, but I have cleared a couple hurdles that have been stymieing me for quite a long time now. It's by no means "smooth sailing" from here on out, but some of what I've now figured out were the biggest obstacles to me proceeding.

Agent of Change, Chapter 11, has been completed and is with the reviewers.
Maybe now I'll edit that last chapter of A2 and get it posted.
Or maybe not...
Eric Storm
PS: For the record, Misfits is now over 81,000 words long.

Artifacts 2: The Coin, Chapter 1, has been made public.
I am seeking ideas for the primary plotline for Artifacts 3: The Bracelet. The bracelet contains the power of healing. If you have any ideas, please email them to me. I'd rather not have such discussions in public, just in case I want to use one of them.

Woo hoo. Go muses go. Looking forward to reading the conclusion of Artifacts 2 once I’m done working for the week and hopefully one of the other chapters in the works currently next month.

The more we ask the longer it takes. I asked last week and got scolded.
