Scott Kujawa's Stories

Saturday means another update on my writing for the week. I didn’t hit my word goal for Rainy’s third book this week because I skipped writing on Tuesday due to getting a massage. So, I’m at 44k words instead of 45k. I have about two weeks left to hit the 55k words I’d like it to have.

Also, I’m working on editing it this weekend, which means I can hand the printed pages to my reader.

The prequel book for Bastet’s/Rainy’s setting is still coming along. I’m at 27k, which means the book is about half finished. I’m still on my goal to finish this in August.

I’m working on part two of Cleo’s and Petra’s short stories. I hit 1k words on it already and I have the rest of June to add the other 9k I plan on writing for this story.

Weekend time means another update time! I’ve completed the revisions and editing on Dyalessia Games book one. As I mentioned, I plan on working on converting my other books to Kindle’s file format instead of the Word doc files I’ve used for the past year, which also means I’ll run these stories through another round of edits when I do this.

Rainy’s third book is coming along. I hit my 40k word goal for the week, which means I have about three weeks left of writing to do to finish this book and this trilogy.

I’m at the halfway point for the prequel book for Bastet’s/Rainy’s setting, having hit 25k words this week. I skipped writing on Friday, but I still hit my weekly word goal so I didn’t mind not working on this book on Friday.

During the week I also started the opening passage for Cleo’s and Petra’s second short story, which I plan to publish in July, probably the first week of the month.

Otherwise, this week has been tough because it rained for four or five days, and all I did was ache. Especially in my incision scar across my right side, which meant I spent a lot of time laying in bed reading and resting. Finally at the end of the week, the ache eased enough for me to get things done.

Time for my writing status update.

I wrote all week for Rainy’s third book, hitting my 35,000 word goal. Things are progressing in this story, and I’m working on ending the plots/ideas I started in book one and two.

I’m at 22,600 words written for the prequel book for Bastet’s/Rainy’s setting is, which means I hit my word goal for the week. This book is still coming along and it should be finished in August/Sept.

As I mentioned in my other post, book one of Dyalessia Games is being rewritten and edited. When I wrote this book, I didn’t know many of the things I do now. Yeah, I admit, I made a lot of mistakes. I hope this version is better than the one I first wrote.

I’m in the process of rewriting and giving this book another round of edits. When I first wrote this story, I wasn’t aware of a lot of the rules I’ve learned during the last year and half. I should have done this before now, but I don’t have an excuse on why I didn’t fix these mistakes.

Anyhow, these changes should be completed by the Sunday.

I didn’t write my weekly writing status until now because I needed to add another 1k words this weekend to Rainy’s third book because I skipped writing on Tuesday due to a massage. Anyhow, now I reached my 30k word goal, so yay! I need to work on finishing the rest of this book during May, giving me about 25k words left to work with.

The prequel book is coming along still, but I’m not in as much of a rush to finish this book. So far, I’m at 20k words, which means I hit my word goal for the week.

Also, tomorrow (Sunday) I have a surprise I’ve been holding onto for a while.

This month went by quick!

Anyhow, I’ve hit 25,300 words in Rainy’s third book of the first trilogy I planned on writing. So, I have to get through May and this book and the first part of the series will be finished. On Friday, I wrote the ending. I know, weird, right? How do you write the ending when you have 30k words left? I don’t know, but this is how my creativity works for me.

As for the prequel book, this one is moving along. I’m at 17,900 words on this, which means I’m ahead of my goal by almost 500 words. This week I could slow down on this book because of this. I’ll have to see what happens, or how exhausted I am as the week progresses.

All right, this is the last post for April.

I lost track of time today because I’ve been playing the rerelease of Final Fantasy 10 since it came out earlier this week.

Rainy’s third book is coming along. I hit my 20k word goal, so this book will be half complete at the end of the upcoming week.

Anyhow, I’m at 15k words for the prequel book for Bastet’s/Rainy’s setting I wanted to write last year. This means I should have this book finished in August or September, depending on if I want to publish it first or if I want to publish a different book first.

All right. This is all I have for this week, so back to playing more of FF10.

Another weekend, another update.

Rainy’s third book is coming along the way I expected. So far I’m at 15k words, which is the goal I wanted to reach by the end of the week.

I’m ahead on my prequel book to Bastet’s/Rainy’s series because I wrote a bit more than I expected. So, I’m at 13k into this book, which won’t be finished until August.

I also made another change to my website, adding links to the book pages in the series pages. I wanted to do this last week, but debated about doing so. When someone else mentioned it might be a good idea, I agreed with them.

Okies. This is it for now. I’ll return next week with another status report.

I made a lot of changes to my web site. My book series are now listed together under the novels menu instead of spread across the top by each series. I added the summary to Alex’s and Christie’s second book in Dyalessia Games. I also added links to Instagram and Pinterest. I’m still thinking of other changes I might add, but for now these changes are the ones I could do without help.

March is gone already? Where did the month go?

Anyhow, I’ve hit 10,400 words in Rainy’s third book, which means I completed my goal for the week. It also means this book is almost a quarter written. So, I’m still on my schedule for a June release.

The prequel book for the same setting is also coming along. I’m at 10,700 words into this book. This one will take longer since I don’t write as much per day, but it’s still on target for when I wanted it scheduled.

All right. I have nothing further to talk about right now except I’m going to release Alex’s and Christie’s second book for Dyalessia Games tomorrow.
