Things are moving along. Here's what's happening at this moment:

I'm writing a contest entry for the MGE wiki contest. Rough draft is done, editing next, then I'll be submitting it. Probably won't post it until the contest is over, but don't know for sure about that yet. I had a little trouble keeping it under the 5000 word limit but I think what I've got is good.

The Cheshire doujin, "Monstergirl Encyclopedia Damage Report: Cheshire's Welcome to Wonderland", has been cleaned and is ready for me to translate and typeset. I'm assuming no one else has already started to do this so that's what I'm working on. It's 25 pages total with 20 of that being actual content (not front/back cover, afterword, etc). As far as volume of work, KC has written a bit more text in this than the average doujin, so that will slow things a little, but he's also pretty good about keeping text in speech bubbles, which makes my life easier. Depending on how much of my time I put into this, I could have it done as quickly as a week or as slow as three. We'll see.

Next up I believe I'll be continuing Not the Fall. However, I also have a doujin coming in from Japan that has been neither scanned nor translated and I will probably want to work on translating part of it when it comes in. Not the Fall will probably take a backseat to that.

Quick update about a couple of things.

First: my next writing project turned out to be a short story for the MGE wiki contest. I have the draft written, I just need to get it under the 5000 word limit. Should have that done in a couple days or so.

Second: Someone uploaded the raws of the Cheshire Doujin and I'm not sure if anyone else is planning on translating it, so I'm going to go ahead and start on that. I'll have to learn how to clean pages since it hasn't already been done, but as far as scan quality, it's pretty good, if a bit large (the whole thing is about 4.5 GB).

That's what's going on for now. Also got confirmation that my doujin order shipped, so another week and a half to three weeks and I'll have it. Next writing project still unknown, but I'm fairly sure it will be Not the Fall.

Well, it's been a month and some things have happened, so it's time for another blog post.

First off, I have finished my next 25,000 word milestone on my novel. Whoopie! It took about 2 and a half months which is longer than I would've liked, but I got it done.

So the big question is, what's coming up next?

Just as always, I'm not completely sure, but I've got some ideas. Here's what I'm considering for right now (in no particular order):

1) Finish Not the Fall (I know I keep saying I want to do this then put it off, but that's not because I don't want to do it, it's because I can only choose to do so many things)
2) Another chapter of the dragon bounty hunter story, Fly High or Not At All. It would be similar to the first in that it would be its own complete story, allowing me to leave it alone or continue with a third chapter some other time if I felt like it. I wasn't really expecting to continue this at all, but I've had some ideas crop up and I might want to use them.
3) Something else. A trade? A one-off? I dunno. I've put a lot of thought into the first two options so I sincerely doubt this will happen, but who knows? It might.

Now that's for right now. I'll start on whatever I decide either Monday or Tuesday. However, I don't want to stop translating doujins so I plan on doing another one of those when I get the chance. There's nothing out there right now I want to translate, but I have ordered 2 from a guy who will courier them and scan them for me, so if nothing pops up, I'll be translating one or both of those. If the cheshire doujin is uploaded untranslated, I will certainly be working on that. (It's also one of the 2 I ordered. So if it shows up online, I may have wasted a little bit of money, but if it doesn't, I know for sure that I'll have it in another 3-4 weeks.)

That's all for now. I'll probably post another update when my plans are more concrete and I have something to report.
