Scott Kujawa's Stories

Another weekend update on what I accomplished this week. I added 2,790 words to this new story in Bastet’s Daughters. I’m at 18,800 words done. Monday and Tuesday I’m sticking to my 500 words a day. But after 2020 starts, it’s back to doing 1k words a day to get this story finished. I’ll also hit 500 or 250 words in my other stories.

Moving on to whats coming next year. I have a estimated schedule for 2020.

January 5th is story one for Crimson Rose.
February is this new book in the (trilogy?) set in Bastet’s Daughters.
March is story three for Cleo and Petra. Cleo returns to further her adventures.
April is story two for Crimson Rose.
May might be the second book for Bess and Mira.
June is story four for Cleo and Petra. Petra will be the focus on this one.
July will be the third story for Crimson Rose.
August is another 40k to 50k novel. I have no idea what it’ll be yet, but I’ll see what happens. (Maybe it’ll be the third story for Elly of Ellyville. I’d like to make a trilogy so I can make a boxset/compilation.)
September is story five for Cleo and Petra. Cleo again has more adventures.
October is story four for Crimson Rose.
November and December, I’m not sure yet. Might have a end of the year novel.

Gaming news. I didn’t do much this week. I have to replay my Kindle games because they didn’t transfer on the new Kindle I got for Christmas. I’m messing around leveling my Pokemon in Sword/Shield. Also played more Borderlands 3 because of the new DLC.

Quick update. Busy week, and next week will be the same.

I added 2,825 words to this current story in Bastet’s Daughters. I wanted to add 2,500, which means I hit my goal and more. This book is at 15,900 words out of the 40,000 to 50,000 I’d like it to have. So, things are progressing. I have the rest of December and January to finish it.

This coming week I’m not sure if I’ll hit my word goal, but I’ll see. Lot of things to do for Christmas.

Gaming news. I’m still playing the same mobile games. Diablo 3. Sims 4. I’ve also started playing Pokémon Sword. Interesting game. I need to level my Pokémon more since the fights are hard at this point.

I’ll have my new story published on the 5th of January. I need to get motivated to format it and write the blurb/summary.

Weekend is here again. Time for a new update.

This week I hit my 2,500 words for the new story in Bastet’s Daughters. To be honest, I overwrote by 500 words. Reaching 3,000 words made me happy. This book is at 13,000 words out of the 40,000 to 50,000 I’d like it to have.

The next two weeks I’m still keeping my 500 words a day or 2,500 words a week goal. This should help me reach about 19,000 or 20,000 words done in this story by the end of December.

January I’m heading back to my 1k words a day. Which means I’ll add another 23,000 words to this story. I might push this a bit, depending on when I want to release the book in February. I’ll have to see what happens.

Gaming news. The new Xbox looks wicked! I want. Waiting for the preorder! Otherwise I’m playing mobile games still. Weekend also means tons of Sims 4 on my Xbox. All right. I don’t have anything else to say.

Hello December! Can you believe it’s the last month for 2019? This year was a busy one for me. I think 2020 is going to be the same way.

All right. Writing update. I added 2980 words to this new story for Bastet’s Daughters. With the words I added this week, I’ve hit 10k words already. I plan to keep doing my 500 words a day Monday – Friday for this story during December. This should bring me to about 18k to 19k words written by the time December ends.

Next year I’m returning to doing 1k words a day in my main story and 500 or 250 in my others. My plan is to try to publish a story a month. My longer books will still take two or two a half months to finish. The shorter stories will supplement my longer ones. So, I plan to release more of Cleo and Petra’s shorts and more for Crimson Rose.

I spent a bit tonight updating my Pinterest account I use for writing. So, I added new images.

Gaming. I’ve been sticking with mobile games. The paint by number game. Harry Potter. Sims Mobile. Lovestruck.

I guess this is all I have to say for this week.

The second book of my superhero series is live.

Gods, this month flew the same way the others have. To be honest, this year also felt like it did the same thing.

Lets see what do I have to say today? Thanksgiving was good. I’m glad its over though. Now to get through Christmas, New Years, and two birthdays. My parents had to be weird, being born on New Years Eve and New Years Day. Grins.

As for my words this week. I destroyed my goal. I wanted to do 2,500, or 500 a day from Monday through Friday. I overwrote this by almost 500 words. I was three words off from hitting 500. Sigh. Mutters. So, the story I hope to publish in February is coming along. With what I added this week, I’ve hit 7,389 words in it.

Tomorrow (Sunday) I plan on releasing the second book of Elly’s Tales. I wrote the blurb this weekend. I’ve had the book formatted for E-book for a while. I’ll put the paperback together tomorrow since I don’t publish the paperback until the E-book goes live.

As for gaming. I’m still playing the paint by number mobile game I found last week. Sims 4. And a few other mobile games like Lovestruck and Sims Mobile.

All right. I don’t have much else to add for this week. Next week it’ll be a new week and a new month. So, I’ll see if I can hit my 2,500 words again. I plan to take Tuesday off since it’s massage time again. The last three weeks went by quick.

I’m back with my usual weekend update. Let’s see. This week was horrible. Earlier in the week I wasn’t sure if I had the energy to get any writing done. My kidney incision from my operation in the 1990s felt like someone was squeezing it with their fist. It took a few days to stop. The weather/humidity went crazy, so it caused my incision to react.

Anyhow, I managed to get my words done, but it took everything to do it. I also realized this new story for Bastet’s Daughters needs Megadeth’s Countdown to Extinction album as the one I’m need to write to while it plays. It took me a few nights of writing to find the perfect music.

So, I’ve hit 4,400 words into this story already. I know I said I wanted to add 2,500 for the week, and I hit this goal. To be honest, I added 200 more than I planned. With Thanksgiving being this week, I’m not sure if I’ll hit my word count but I’ll see what happens.

As for gaming. I’m tired of Final Fantasy XII, so I’ve gone back to losing myself in The Sims 4. I also found a mobile game where you can color by number. This one is different because it has a story with it. You get to rebuild the ruined house. There’s other games like this, but they tend to have those connect the gem games, which annoy me.

All right. This is everything for the week. For those who celebrate American Thanksgiving, hope you have a good gathering.

Ack. I’m late on posting this update. I decided to take the weekend off from being online and on the computer. So, I lost myself playing Final Fantasy XII. I forgot I bought a copy when they rereleased it for the Xbox One a while back.

Anyhow. Writing update. I finished my first short story for Crimson Rose. Self-edited it. Gave it to the reader. Fixed the errors she noticed.

Since I have a book for December and this short for January, I’ve slowed my writing to 500 words a day. I started a new story on Wednesday. So far, I’m at 1,600 words into it. By the end of this week, I should reach 4,100 words. I’m planning on adding 2,500 to this story until the new year.

Once 2020 arrives, I’ll return to adding 1k words a day to my stories.

This story is either a single book or trilogy. I’m not sure which until I get book one finished. If I have more ideas for these characters, I’ll add books two and three. Anyhow, this is a space opera story in my Bastet’s Daughters setting.

So, a new Daughter of the Egyptian goddess is off to her own adventure.

Okies. This is all I have for this week.

I’m starting this weeks update with the news I’ve self-edited book two of Ellyville and handed most of it to my reader. I have to print the last two chapters and give them to her, but it won’t happen until later this week. Tomorrow (Monday) I want to add a little more to the story since I feel a chapter near the end needs a paragraph or more to finish it off.

The first short story for Crimson Rose is almost done. I have a scene or two to add at the end, and I’m done with it. I have to self-edit it and give the printed pages to the reader, but I think I’ll do this later this week. I also have to delve into names, since two characters aren’t named yet. I gave them my usual placeholder of (Fill in name). I have the cover for these, and I love what the artist created. When I asked her to help, I had no idea what I wanted for a cover. So, I’m pleased.

With these two stories being finished, I’m slowing down for the rest of the year. Ellyville book two will come out in December. Crimson Rose is for next year. This doesn’t mean I’m not going to write for the rest of November and December. I plan on starting something new set in Bastet’s Daughters world, but I don’t have a dedicated word count. I’d like to get 500 words a day, but if this doesn’t happen, I’m not going to be upset.

Having released Heather’s and Sasha’s story for Dyalessia Friends, I didn’t have time to do a lot of gaming. So, I’ve been playing mobile games. The Sims Mobile. Lovestruck, and Harry Potter Hogwarts. All right, I guess this covers everything I did this week.

 

Oh yeah, I have a new book published.
