Chapters written
This week I wrote 3 chapters for Mind Your Step, 3 for The Technician’s Fight, 1 for The Daughter, 1 for The Harker Project, and I finished draft 1 of the Off Campus short story Crimson and Monster. That one clocks in at 17,000 words. And while reaching a conclusion definitely feels like an Issue 1 of a comic. Also started draft 2 for it.

I’m unsure what I’ll do with it, beyond putting it on my Patreon. I don’t know that it works as a reader magnet, since it had little to do with Harker itself, other than being set in the world. And while it introduces a character who will attend Harker. He does so in book 2.

Chapters edited
I edited 3 chapters of The Technician’s fight, 1 for Harker, and 1 for Going Home.

Other stuff
As for the rest. This week was uneventful. Had to go to Walmart on the 1st of November, so I figured I’d look into the discounted Halloween chocolates for something to stock up on and…. Nothing. I mean literally no Halloween candies on the shelves the day after. All I found were a box of really, really cheap looking candies, and one for packages of sugar cookies with decorating kits.

Is that how it is every Halloween? Or is this a change in procedure that announces the disappearance of discounted Christmas and Easter chocolates? That’s going to be tough.

On the computer front, I finally setup a syncing system between my gaming and writing computers for general files. Basically all the stuff in the “My files” folder, which includes video, pictures, music, documents, and a few other categories now sync between them.

But that wasn’t without issues. Kzorith helped me with writing the .bat file that would make that happen. Then it was about figuring out how I’d make it happen. He warned me that before I got this started, I would have to sync both computer to the master folder on the house drive and I…didn’t listen. Or to be fair to me, didn’t hear. I was probably doing something relating to that when he typed it, and I missed it.

So, I synced the writing computer to the master file, then synced that to my gaming computer and…lost files. Now, nothing lost was that important. My stories are not in those files. They’re on Dropbox because I used to have to access them from anywhere back when I was a trucker. And I never really removed them from them.

But I lost basically all the game images I’d used during my gaming stream, only 4 of which I still used. And they were easy to track down. The one file that hurt a bit is the spinning TheTigerPlays logo for my pre and post stream. I replaced it with the Static one while Buttitplays remakes it.

On the writing stream side, I only lost a couple of image files for the overlay that let me clean things up since it turned out I wasn’t actually using them.

And that’s basically it.
