More writing on the way...

Haven’t done one of these progress updates for a while…
I’ve somehow managed to become far too busy recently, with three writing projects as well as everything else going on in life. So things have been going slowly, and I need to concentrate on one thing at a time if I’m ever going to finish any of them. What I’m working on just now:
Industrial Zone 5 – Parts 3 and 4 of this story need to be finished, though they’ve both got some material that I really like in them already. I just need to work out a few new games and their respective forfeits – in the previous “season” I had some games that were obviously ‘filler’ as they were simple and easy to write, and I’m aiming to have absolutely none of those in the new style, so it may take a little longer. I think that it might be working, as altogether (from all four parts) I now have just under 40,000 words, and it’s looking like it might even break 50,000 before it’s finished. I must be mad.
Gwen scene – This is the scene I mentioned in the last journal that I thought up in my sleep. Out of all my characters, Gwen feels pretty special – maybe because she was my first main character, and also because she’s one of the few of my characters to actually have a slime fetish… This will be my first adult-rated scene, so it’ll be different from what I usually write about. At the moment it’s named “Gwen’s First Time” in the file, but I really don’t want to call it that.
Industrial Zone 6 – In another demonstration of my plan to “stop writing IZ stories” not really going that well, I’ve already begun plans for a sixth episode (or the second show of the third series). What started this one off is that I finally got up the courage to message a certain well-known artist asking if I could use one of his characters in the new middle game (the one that Ginger and Anise were victims to in IZ5). But he had no problem with it at all, and as a result I’ve got quite a special guest lined up for this episode. I’m going to enjoy this. =)

Other than that, sounds good. I really haven't had the chance to read much of your work of late, but maybe I should... might kick myself in the ass a little.
I know what you mean about not getting the time to read - not a lot of story submissions on the site get noticed, as artwork is so much easier to view and comment on... I know I don't read as much from it as I'd like to either.
I do remember that IZ park idea that you had started - it's an offshoot of something else, yes, but I really liked where it was going. I think your character fits in well as a friend with the first IZ lot.
