It's been a few weeks since I started working on my other story. With my 25000 word goal in mind, I have made it a little past 12,000 words, and missed 2 days of writing out of 21. I'm pretty happy with how close I've stuck to my plan and with the progress I've made so far.
Any monstergirl content is still on hold. I did notice there was a new slapstickstrike doujin scanned, but I have no intention of translating it, as I don't have any interest in any of the girls.
That's all for this update. Depending on my progress, you may see another update in another 3 weeks.

I'm not going to pretend like I tried to get any work done this week. I was watching Dota 2's The International all week.
Now that it's done, however, I've decided I need to be more regimented with my writing. I'm not happy where I am right now as far as output and skill, so I'm going to start working to change that. While that does mean I'll be writing more (a lot more, if things go as I plan), it also means that what I'll be writing won't have anything to do with monstergirls or the story I have in progress (Not the Fall).
The fact of the matter is, people probably won't be interested in seriously critiquing/editing monstergirl stories, and I'm was never planning on getting serious with them either. They've always been on the 'hobby' side of writing. But I've been writing for years always with the intention of eventually writing something more marketable, both in subject matter and polish. So that's what I'm going to do.
As of right now, the plan is to write up 25,000 words (approximate) of this other story. This is hardly the entire story, but I don't want to mentally commit to doing the entire thing at once. I've got my daily word counts planned out, a calendar to mark progress, and a wealth of notes I've accumulated over a long period of time. It's possible when I get to that first goal, I'll decide to tackle another chunk of the story or maybe the rest of it. It's also possible I'll want to take a break and come back to something like Not the Fall or even finish up that dragongirl short.
As far as translating things, C88 is right around the corner and maybe I'll see something I'm interested in. Can't say for sure. Translating's a bit easier than writing so it's something I can do alongside writing. In other words, I don't expect to completely stop translating monstergirl things.
I know the few of you that follow my monstergirl writings may be disappointed, but I always knew I was going to have to make this choice sooner or later if I wanted anything serious to come out of my writing. Now just feels like the right time.
Thank you for reading.

Finished up the translation of the moth doujin and uploaded that to sadpanda. Next I'll be going back to editing Great Monster Journey. Still quite a bit to get through. I also think I'll be adding another scene to the end of the story. I'm not intending on getting back to Not the Fall just yet, still have to figure out a few things concerning the ending.

More writing and editing of Chapter 8 of Fall this week. It's done, I'm just waiting a little bit to post it.
I've also been editing GMJ (Great Monster Journey). It's something I've wanted to do for a long time and with Fall being so hard to write, I figured it would be a good time to step away and find something else to do. My plan is to make GMJ much shorter, remove storylines I didn't like and strengthen the ones I liked but didn't execute so well. I will probably also write and least one more scene toward the end of the story.
