Armored Piercing Operations

I'm now 386 pages into the second draft, which is 19 pages since the last update where I actually wrote something. I wanted to hit 20 pages so I could make up for not writing anything last week, but 19 is a good amount. I hit the minimum before the weekend. I also got to page 20 of the outline and finished two missions. I'm getting close to hitting 400 pages, which I was hoping to hit by the end of August. It's good to be back on writing and I suppose I got a boost this week. I hope I can keep this up because the end of the year is coming up. If I don't finish the second draft this year, it reduces my chances of publishing the book next year. I really need to get content out there if I want to drum up more interest in…

So I didn't work on AP3 at all this last week. It was nice to take a break but it's also a little sad that I broke the writing streak I started since I began the second draft. I did at least 10 pages every week since the end of March, which is almost 5 months. I haven't had that much writing consistency in a very long time. Also, it is not that bad to not write for a while because I have a full outline this time around. With AP4, I would be confused whenever I came back to it after a long hiatus. Though, I have changed many things from the outline while working on the second draft.

I will likely return to writing this week since the gaming subscription has expired. However, I've been thinking about working on a new novella and getting it published before the…

I'm now 367 pages into the second draft, which is 12 pages since the last update. Yet, another week where I struggled to hit the minimum and only hit it just before writing this update. I might take a break from writing this week because my gaming subscription is ending soon and I want to make the most of it. If I do write something but I don't hit the minimum, then I will make another update per usual. For the outline, I reached page 19. There's a battle later on that I'm planning on cutting because it is a repeat of a bigger battle I plan to do later on. Like think of the Battle of Kabul in AP2 where everyone got separated. The battle I'm cutting is a condensed version of that. I don't want to repeat the whole everyone getting separated multiple times. Besides, the book already…

I'm now 355 pages into the second draft, which is 10 pages since the last update. I wrapped up the Australia segment and finally got started with the Germany segment, which, as I said, will take up a huge chunk of the book. The first Germany battle is done and I'm about to start a new mission with the core group. It was another week where I really struggled to hit the minimum. The video gaming is slowing down my progress, but like I said, it will be temporary. I think September will be a more productive month. I know the end of the book is still a long ways away, but every week I get closer no matter how small the progress.
