Hi Eric, Thank you for your reply! And thank you for taking the time to thank me for my service, it means a fair bit to me, and you're right, sometimes it seems like nobody notices.

If Jefferson is interested, would you pass on my contact info (I sent more detailed contact info to your gmail address listed elsewhere on the site) to him? I very much enjoy working with the written word, and would be quite willing to do any proofreading and/or editing tasks he is willing to send my way. I promise no more than a 3-day turn-around on chapter length or shorter works, longer works I will give a written time estimate when I receive the work. All that I ask is that if my services are used, that it gets acknowledged in some way. A simple thank you is sufficient.

You probably have a life. 3dsmile You know, work, school, friends, social life, things like that.

I spend about an hour a day actually writing (when I do write, which isn't every day... some days I just don't feel like it.)

On the other hand, keep in mind that WAY2-11 was written over six months ago. 3dsmile

Comora · 2012-11-02 06:40:38

So with year three so far a long, can we expect less time before releases?

Eric Storm · 2012-11-02 08:47:29

No.

The monthly release schedule is there to keep me writing. You see how well it is working. I am not about to screw with it. I have already, in the past, had months-long blocks on Woodward. I will not chance running out of material and having to miss a month.

When I start another project outside of the Woodward series (which will be as soon as I finish Woodward Year 3), it will also go onto a monthly release schedule, offset from Woodward, so that you'll get stuff from me more often (hopefully).

Update for November 6, 2012:

As of today, I have passed my latest quota for the year of 366,000 words. My next target is 450,000 words by Dec. 31.

The Woodward Academy, Year 3, Chapter 11: April continues, and is nearly finished.

Wicked Storm · 2012-11-07 01:59:39

WOW awesome! I wish I could write like that!

Eric Storm · 2012-11-10 04:41:34

Update for November 9, 2012:

The Woodward Academy, Year 3, Chapter 11: April is finished, and with the reviewers. I will be starting Chapter 12 in the near future.

Eric Storm

adultswim3 · 2012-11-11 06:31:28

Wow almost ahead for a full year that's awesome. I know where I'll be the first of every month for the foreseeable future. The Woodward Academy has quickly become my favorite story. Congrats on the progress. Any idea how many years their are going to be? (Sorry if that's already answered elsewhere.)

Eric Storm · 2012-11-11 07:08:15

Update for November 11, 2012:

The Woodward Academy, Year 3, Chapter 12: May has been started.

To answer adultswim's question: The Woodward Academy is planned for an eight-year novel series, and a possible follow-on short story anthology.

Eric Storm

Wicked Storm · 2012-11-12 20:07:59

Eight YEARS awesome sauce. Can't wait to read the whole thing.^_^

lordalpha · 2012-11-14 18:33:37

Hopefully it wont take you 8 years to read(although a book so long it took me 8 years to read would be pretty awesome!)

Eric Storm · 2012-11-14 19:39:19

Actually, the likelihood is that it would not be awesome, but would be rather tedious and tiresome... Or would actually be a compendium of several stories that should have been broken into separate books.

Eric Storm

Wicked Storm · 2012-11-14 20:27:13

I think eight books would be cool. But yeah that be funny a book that took eight years to read.

Eric Storm · 2012-11-18 19:59:06

Update for November 18, 2012:

The Woodward Academy, Year 3, Chapter 12: May has been finished and is with the reviewers. This completes book 3 of the series.

As I am now quite literally a full year ahead of schedule on Woodward, I am going to take a (short) break from it. I will not start writing Woodward Year 4 until January. Between now and then, I will work on other things.

I'd like to point out that this makes a total of 4 books that have reached completion for me this year. (WAY2, WAY3, CSR, and Maiasaurs). It's been a pretty good writing year.

Eric Storm

Wicked Storm · 2012-11-20 03:05:59

Congratulations Eric. What an awesome accomplishment for this year. And here I am never having finished one book yet. You do inspire and it is great to be able to read your works and be part of your site. Thank you so much for the wonderful works you give us.

Eric Storm · 2012-11-25 02:31:22

Update for November 24, 2012:

I guess I should have pointed out a few days ago that I've started a short story, Fire Storm: Tempest of the Flames, Vol. 3. Not sure when it'll be done, but it's well underway now.

Eric Storm

PS: For those not familiar with my Tempest of the Flames series, volumes 1 and 2 are "The Snowstorm" and "Maelstrom".

Eric Storm · 2012-12-01 11:13:21

Update for December 1, 2012:

The Woodward Academy, Year 2, Chapter 6: November is now public.
The Woodward Academy, Year 2, Chapter 12: May has been posted to PRM.

The Woodward Academy, Year 2 is now fully posted.

Eric Storm

mac_savant · 2012-12-15 06:59:13

Just finished Year 2. Can't wait for Year 3.

Will you begin posting it in January?

Eric Storm · 2012-12-15 08:38:21

One chapter per month, as per the established schedule.

Eric Storm

Eric Storm · 2012-12-20 05:56:45

Update for December 20, 2012:

Hey, I actually wrote something yesterday! It's the first time all freakin' month!

Fire Storm: Tempest of the Flames, Vol. 3 is coming along slowly but surely.
