Where things sit

I’ve been so busy with writing, designing, researching, working, life, the rare visit from family, and catering to my floofs every need (I swear if you’re owned by a cat, you’re their servant or staff) that I’ve not posted any recent updates. It’s update time.

Phase 1:
The phase 1 draft is done and I’ve gotten some good feedback on it. The final word and page count for this initial draft is 85,110 words and 175 pages.

Phase 2:
The engine document is coming along quite well, and I’ve gotten that to a state that I need to set it aside for a while so I can revisit it later with fresh eyes. The current count is about 31,000 words and 68 pages. I know this will still shrink down when I get back to editing it (with fresh eyes).
The book document is currently being written and is sitting at about 38,000 words and 91 pages. Still more to write and research for it, but it’s coming along.

Phase 3:
Not started yet, will happen once I have the phase 2 drafts done.

This is a project that I expect to take between 3-5 years to complete, and I’ve been working on it for about a year-and-a-half now. My hope is to have all the drafts written for all three phases by the end of the third year (managing a phase per year) with the final couple of years doing the editing, fine tuning, and typesetting.
