The Old Dog has near half of Chapter 19 complete. I think we can finish off that one and be done with it in five or six more days. We call that next chapter 19 or Triocat 3.
Triocat 4,chapter 20, will be next and 2 more weeks is the goal. I am writing ahead and have chapter 21 close to two thirds finished. So a week after 20 and we can put 21 on line. I am also ahead on the concluding chapters so we just might get this thing done by the end of the year.
The new Chapter 18 is up. Next we will visit Triocat again and see how the Ryman forces are doing. That one is the Old Dog’s, he will be the lead author and I will take care of details and adding things to bolster it out and fit into the Cardoman Universe as seamlessly as possible.
If things go as we would like it should arrive in about two weeks. In the interim I am posting more often at Never So Few and lately am posting fall pictures taken around Castle Calvert. Take a look when you are finished here.
Chapter 18 of A Point of Honor is half way done so it does look like I will get it on line by the end of October. For people like me that like to do word counts that will give it 85,000 words with seven chapters to go.
The entire Cardoman Saga is now over 430,000 words and that seems like a lot. But the Colony Alchibah book as a single volume went close to 460,000. And that was part of the problem with keeping it going.
My ultimate goal with APOH is to finish the draft very early next year and by that I mean January. Doable but I will have to stay steady.
Note 10/27 — Chapter 18 is finished but for the final draft edit. Will be up on time.—Wes
Chapter 17 of APOH is online but there is more. The Old Dog has a short story posted into the Never So Few Website called “Need Help, Ask a Ranger!” He has created a section over there like the short story thing we do here. He calls it Tales From The Interregnum and you can navigate from the NSF sidebar.
I’ve have a partial scene from APOH on the main NSF page called ‘The Bar Fight.” It will end up in APOH sometime in the future.
The next APOH chapter is mine then two chapters from the Old One. I have it started so stay tuned.
We are now back in sync for the second time. Fifteen went up today and sixteen has been up for a couple of weeks. Chapter 17 is about half way complete so it will be here in a week or two.
