Goodbye, September. I knew it was going to be slow but I had no idea just how much. I’m going to set some deadlines for myself to try and catch up. Let’s start with LGT and the short stories.

By the 31st, the first draft of LGT Chapter 2 (Atoning Mirror) should be finished. Likewise, there should be at least six posts for at least one of the short stories I’ll be working on this month. I don’t want to push the LGT work any further back than I already have. It’s perfectly doable with the notes I’ve got on hand. As for the short stories, I’m not going to limit myself to just one, but I’m only setting my quota at six this month because it’s my first go at this. I was thinking I could do three a week for twelve a month, but I don’t want to push it that hard before I know I can do it. I’m already multitasking as it is and life is just full of surprises these days.

One other thing I’m figuring out a deadline for is the Praedia map. I’m thinking I should have the new landmass placements as well as the highest points and lowest (sea level) points all marked out by the end of the month. From there I just need to fill in the details, peel back some of the land into more realistic looking inlets, figure out some way to mark the rivers without making them too thick, and then I can start looking into national borders from certain eras. I’m going to need that info sooner rather than later. For now I think it’s reasonable to set a deadline on the landmass placements and the ASL ‘peaks.’ I’ve got the old map and a map of Earth for reference so it shouldn’t be too bad. Really, I just need some momentum and a quiet day to knock all or half of it out at once.

That’s all for now.
