Scott Kujawa's Stories

I’m changing my post by not posting word counts for each story. The two current stories are ones I don’t plan on publishing until April and May. So, I have time to finish them. The second story for Crimson Rose should be finished in about ten days. I plan on trying to have it done by the end of Feb. I’m also getting words done for book five of Dylessia Games. Bess and Mira are working out things they didn’t expect when they decided to expand their family.

Anyhow, this week I wrote 5,600 words but it was in both of these stories. I worked on them each day to hit my 5k word count goal for the week.

Tomorrow I plan on releasing my fourth video on my Youtube channel. I have an idea on what I’m going to talk about, but it’s a vague idea.

Gaming news. Diablo 3 most of the time. However, I also returned to Warcraft to clear the new patch features. Sometimes the urge to return to Warcraft gnaws on me. Grins.

Books I read for the week are:

My new book has been published. The paperback will be completed tomorrow (Monday.)

As I said last week, I planned on finishing Acinonyx for my Bastet’s Daughters setting. I did this. Self-edited. Gave to my reader. Formatted it. Wrote the blurb/summary. I’m going to publish it tomorrow (Sunday the 9th).

Having finished this longer novel, I slotted Cleo’s next story into my 1k words a day. On Monday I believe I’ll finish this short story. I’ll work on self-editing and giving the printed pages to my reader next weekend. I still need a cover for this, but there’s time because this short story will be my March release.

I’m going to move the next short story for Crimson Rose into my 1k slot on Tuesday, I believe. It won’t take me long to finish it for the April release. This one I have the cover for already.

When these are done, I’m heading back to Dyalessia Games. Bess and Mira want their daughter to be born, so its time. They’ve been waiting months, when the idea came to me last year.

Okay. Gaming news. Things have been busy. So, I’ve been getting my Diablo 3 runs in. This is about all I can find time for at the moment.

Tomorrow I plan on releasing another video for my Youtube channel. I think I’m going to talk about some of the things I do for marketing. A lot of time I see this as a struggle by those who talk about it on Twitter.

Last week I said I’d start my new plan on sharing the books I’ve read for the week, so this is my list of what I’ve read for this week:

1) Twice Upon a Time by Erica Lee.
2) You Can Go Home by Mia Archer.
3) A Sacred Magic by Yasmine Galenorn is book nine of her Wild Hunt series.
4) Witch’s Oath by Terry Goodkind is the fourth short story in his Children of D’hara series.
5) Death’s Handmaiden by Niall Teasdale is book one of his Death’s Handmaiden series.
6) Boot Scootin’ Boogeyman by Lily Harper Hart is book three of her Hannah Hickok series.

I’m starting this weekend post with Bastet’s Daughters: The Acinonyx. This is the space exploration novel I wanted to write for a while. I know there will be a second novel for these characters, but it won’t be written until later this year or next year. Anyhow, I self-edited the pages I’ve written so far. I’ve handed them to my reader after printing them. She’s read the first thirty pages and I’ve fixed the corrections she noticed. The other pages are also in her hands.

As for words I put into this story this week, I added 4,445. I have one or two scenes left to write this coming week. Self-edit those. Print. Give to reader. I’ll have everything done by the weekend, which means this book is going to be published on Sunday the 9th.

I also added the cover to my web page. I’ll write the summary next weekend.

Cleo’s story is coming along. I’m going to slot this one into my 1k words a day schedule after I finished Acinonyx. It’ll take me about a week to finish the 5k words I’d like this story to have. This week I added 384 words to it. I didn’t work on it much, having been focused on finishing my longer story.

Crimson Roses’ second story is also coming along. It’ll be added to my 1k slot after I finish Cleo’s. I wrote 758 words in it this week.

Also, I started something new last week. So, I have a Youtube channel where I’ll talk about various things related to my books, writing, gaming, and whatever other topics I’m interested in.

Gaming news. I’m still playing Diablo 3. I started playing Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire for the Xbox, but the loading screens are horrible. It takes half a minute to load the map, so I gave up on playing this unless they find a way to shorten the loading times. Plus, there’s other bugs which annoyed me.

I’m adding another new feature to my Sunday posts. From now on I’m going to list the current stories I’ve read for the week, like I do over on Twitter and my Facebook page. This week I’ve read:

1) Ressaline Tiara: Part two by Robin Roseau is book seven of her Ressaline series.
2) No Room at the Inn by Brooke Winters is book one of her The Hotel series.
3) Archangel’s War by Nalini Singh is book twelve of her Guild Hunter series
4) Unleashed: Case of the Bull Doggish by Erik Schubach is book nine of his Unleashed series.

I’m trying something new this year, so I took the time to create a Youtube channel. I plan to use it to talk about my writing, gaming, cooking, and whatever other topics I’m interested in.

Heya all.

This week I added 320 words to the second story in Crimson Rose and 357 in the third story in Cleo’s and Petra’s adventures. I’ve felt horrible this week, so I neglected these two stories. Plus, I know they’re half written, so I’ll have time to finish them.

However, I added 5,296 words to Bastet’s Daughters in space. I’m focused on finishing this story since I have a few scenes left. Tonight, started my self-editing on it using the software I’ve used for years. I finished twenty pages. I’ll work on the other pages tomorrow and next weekend.

Gaming news, I’ve returned to playing mobile games and Diablo 3. There hasn’t been time for anything else. This is a short post this week because I don’t have much else to say.

I’m back since it’s the weekend. I’m going to start this new update with Bastet’s Daughters in space. I have a title for this new story or trilogy. However, I’m still referring to it as Bastet’s Daughters in space. Anyhow, I added 4,944 words to the current book. I wanted to hit 5,000 but there were times I felt horrible this week. So, I’m content with missing the 60 words. At this point, this new story is at 32,600 words. I’d like it to have over 40k, which means I have three weeks left of writing to add. I have the scene half written, but I need to expand them.

Plus, I don’t have a cover yet for this story. I’m hoping the cover artist is working on it.

Moving on to Cleo’s and Petra’s next story. I added 1,382 words to this short story. I set a goal of 1,250 for this story per week so I hit it. I’m at 4,500 of the 10,000 I’d like this story to have. It’s still one I’m not publishing until March, so I have time to finish it.

The second story for Crimson Rose is also being worked on. I wrote 1,362 words this week. I set a goal of 1,250 so I reached it again. This story is at 3,780 words. I have until April to finish it.

Gaming news. I returned to playing my Xbox more. A lot of Sims 4 still, but also did some runs in Diablo 3. I’m trying to reach 700 paragon levels, but I’m not sure if I will. Okay, this is my news for the week.

Another weekend, another writing update. I have the title for the new story for Bastet’s Daughters. It took me a while to think about what I wanted to call this book (or trilogy). As for the word count, I’m at 27,500. I added 4,100 words to it this week. Tuesday was massage day, so I didn’t do any writing. I didn’t feel like adding the missing 1k words over the weekend, so I skipped it. Besides, I don’t need this book finished until February. I should be around 32,000 words done when Friday comes.

The third short story for Cleo and Petra is coming along. I lowered the daily word count from 500 to 250. I’ll have this story done around the end of the January or early February. It’s not needed until March. At this time, I’m 3,100 words into the 10,000 words I’d like it to have. I plan on adding another 1,500 words to it this week.

Crimson’s Rose’s second short story is almost coming along. It’s my April release. So far I’ve written 2,400 words. This one will also be one I’ll add 1,500 to this week.

It’s time for my gaming news. I’m getting close to finishing another play through of Borderlands 3. Soon I’ll see what the casino is like. I’m still playing Lovestruck, and the paint by number games on my cell phone or Kindle. This weekend I delved back into Sims 4, which absorbed my time. I’m working on finishing the skills on the second sim of my family.

My first story in Crimson Rose has been published.

Heya all. It’s my first post for the new year. Let’s see. I’ve fixed the links to Ellyville. I made a mistake on those pages when I added those books to my web site. I’ve also added pages for the first story for Crimson Rose. It goes on sale tomorrow (Sunday).

I added 4,596 words to the new story set in Bastet’s Daughters. This space fantasy/sci-fi story is coming along. I hit 23,300 words in it. I plan for it to be another of my 40k to 50k stories. So, it’s about half done. I’ll reach this halfway goal by the end of this coming week.

With holidays and celebrations over, I returned to working on my 500 and 250 words stories along with my 1k words on my main story. Cleo and Petra’s third story is one I started this week. I’m going to cut it off at 10k words again. So far, I hit 1,825 words in it. I’ll have it finished by the end of January. It’ll go on sale in March. I still need a cover made for it.

The second story for Crimson Rose is also being written. I added 1,049 words in it. I plan to release this in April. It’ll be close to 20,000 words again.

Moving on from writing. I’m playing more of Borderlands 3 again. I still need to explore the casino but I want to finish the current play through before I do this. For my mobile gaming, I’ve been playing the paint by number game where you can build a house. I was close to finishing this on my other Kindle, but the data didn’t transfer over. I’m also playing Wordington again for the same reason. I’m close to reaching the place where I left off.
