Yet Another Update

I didn't end up going over the story today with co-author, but I did write up some on Chapter 17: A Leg With A View: Which should be a good chapter I hope. I have only seven more chapters to write and in theory the rough draft of Wurm's Blood should be done.  Then I am going to make/order a proof so I can catch any errors and then after that I should have it for public release with all the awesome art and stuff in it.  I am thinking/hoping I should have Wurm's Blood done around Christmas time.  It'll make a nice gift to give to some of my relatives.

I was also able to fit in the Finnart/Rambert scene that I wasn't sure if and even where it would sit in the story; but I found the place for it.  It's a pretty funny scene and it went into this chapter. It had to be before Rambert gets his body back and I was worried I'd not be able to put it in as it's pretty hilarious to me.  It was a scene written by my co-author.  I love when I can keep his stuff in the story as his scenes usually cracks me up.  The only thing I had to write up for this Rambert/Finnart scene was what leads up to it.

More July Updates

Another Update for July.  I worked more on my story.  I also started work on a new project called The Records of the Last War.  It is basically going to be based after the Franco-Prussian War and World War I but in a fantasy setting with wizards, but no monster races or mystical creatures in actuality.  They have legends of them, but I am thinking they might have existed at one point in the world's history but died out.

One of the characters I am developing is a wizard/sorcerer known as The Goblin of the Academy due to his recluse nature and possibly somewhat dark sense of humor.

I am at 74,028 words approximately for Wurm's Blood and I am only just now halfway through the Dagmar Arc of the story.  After Wurm's Blood I plan on writing a sequel to it at the urging and encouragement of it's co-author. I have a couple of names for titles in the sequel but no closer to an actual title for Wurm's Blood sequel.  I still also plan on working on another fantasy series called The Cycle of Invasions, which is based on Irish mythology.  I may change the name of the series for it if I come up with a better name, but the first book in the series is gonna be entitled "The First Ones".

You can sample some of it here:

EDIT:  I finished Chapter 16 in rough draft form.  YAY!!!

Another July Update

I recently found my map for Wurm's Blood, and going to have my co-author redraw it as I think he can probably do a better job at cartography then myself.  I have half of chapter sixteen of Wurm's Blood finished, it merely needs my co-author to go over the scenes with me.  Slowly I am making progress on getting Wurm's Blood finished. I am at 73,000 words approximately. If interested here are some snippets/passages I have decided to share on Deviantart, which I think are good.

I will type more when I have more to type and hope you enjoy these snippets and eagerly awaiting the release of Wurm's Blood once I have it completed.  

July Update

Money is tight recently due to summer and lack of work from my day job, so haven't been able to commission any more artwork for Wurm's Blood, sadly.  But on the good side I am now at 66,200 some words approximately. That means I am getting closer and closer to a number that is considered by the literati to be a true novel length. Wurm's Blood has only eight chapters remaining according to my outline for it.  The problems have lately been me and my co-author getting up the time or energy to work on it.  I am working on Chapter 16 at the moment and just finished writing up a couple of scenes today.  So hopefully my co-author will help me edit it tomorrow night.  Not much more to tell, so will type more when I have more to have you so informed.
