The finished prototype Japanese 12 into 2 stainless steel skillet scrubber, with a chrome plated split ring for hanging it up next to your sink. #maille

Aha! Found the article: The Tessellation Theory of Japanese Weaves, written by Drax back in 2004. https://www.mailleartisans.org/articles/articledisplay.php?key=3 #maille

The start of a prototype Japanese 12 into 2 hexagonal skillet scrubber. Now I need to set up more small rings to be able to finish it. #maille

Today's #Minecraft: Menheniot Station on the Level 11 Subway. Only one more remaining until Terminus.

Based on the two people's feedback I got, I'm moving the Dev Notes to Subscriber-only, and extending the cycle to ten days from eight. We'll see how #LastGeomancer does with two more days in between scenes and with the Dev Notes removed from the public feed. #amwriting #writing

Am I putting out #LastGeomancer too fast? Is a new scene every 8 days, alternating with Dev Notes, too much content? Or should I just stop posting the scenes and wait until I have the novel done before sharing it? #writing #amwriting

2021-01-19: New #LastGeomancer - Dev Notes: Ocean Voyage References, in which I provide links to and discussion of some of my research materials. Beware, there's a spoiler for a plot event that hasn't happened yet if you click through one of the links. It's clearly tagged as such. #writing #amwriting https://jackhollow.substack.com/p/2021-01-19-dev-notes-ocean-voyage

So far, 1152 words on the Councilric of Dorthmund, a sort of Singaporean trading state ruled by an oligarchy of six Families. It's an untenable structure in the world of #Antillia. #writing #amwriting #ttrpg More at https://wanderingbeekeeper.itch.io/antillia4foldland

At 2620 words, the second draft of #LastGeomancer Scene 9: Meet the Meiseners has been locked down for Substack post on Jan 23rd. In this scene, we introduce a Jewish family traveling in the same steerage compartment, find common ground with them, set up a couple of subplots, and get some exposition done. Total compiled word count, including pseudocode and embedded notes, 29,575, an increase of 2872 over 9 Jan. #writing #amwriting More at https://jackhollow.substack.com

At 2583 words, the first draft of #LastGeomancer Scene 9 is done. I'm going to let it rest for a few, then go back and do a read through and make sure I hit all the points I needed to. I may add a little more description. Not real clear what Ingrid looks like. #writing #amwriting

2021-01-18: New #Antillia: Five Spires: Power Structures, including writeups on the Baronet, three Councilors. and notes on three Appointed Officers. #ttrpg #writing #amwriting and yes this is a day late going out, my apologies folks, it's been a rough week https://wanderingbeekeeper.itch.io/antillia4foldland/devlog/209982/2021-01-17-five-spires-power-structures

Trying to figure this out. #LastGeomancer has paid subscribers, and I believe in the story, so I'm continuing to write it. The novel is being a challenge in several ways. I don't know if my skills are equal to my ambition, but I need to try anyway. #Antillia has no paid subscribers, but has had a nice Ko-fi contribution. This is effectively #ttrpg material, which is easy for me to write. Balancing the two off and deciding where to put today's effort is being difficult. #writing #amwriting

Working on Scene 9 of #lastgeomancer where we meet a young couple and their child who will be supporting characters for a bit. Currently 1077 words, but a good deal of that is pseudocode and embedded notes that will be deleted as it's used. Also considering adding a new subplot, letters from home, to give mum and Jennifer more of a voice. It'll also give me a device for time skips, where Jack can write about what happened to his family. #writing #amwriting

Folks that are following me for #Antillia, #lastgeomancer , #minecraft , #OWHK or #maille -- the illness that I have contracted, apparently not Covid, is throwing a sick day or two into my schedule. There will be skip days in some of the projects currently running. The next set of sprints will not hit their target. I'll be revising my project plans accordingly, and once I'm back in content creation mode, will post new versions.

Yay, found some Venleitche material in an old notebook I hadn't reviewed in far too long. It didn't get used in the game. The next nation with royalty I detail will have a somewhat different structure. Maybe in the Northern Kingdoms. #Antillia #amwriting #writing #ttrpg
